An Australian icon-aged Clare Valley Riesling (in those days called Rhine Riesling unfortunately due to our country's slim knowledge base but later corrected against a barrage of opposition from conservatives and industrial makers of riesling, but not using riesling!) Classic glass of flavour; #honey #burnttoast #agedriesling #brulee #butter #crunch #yum #mouthful #watervale #treasuryestates ; wine made by the great man John Vickery before his defection to Richmond Grove when the Fosters people closed the brand down; but now it is back! Wine won three gold medals in the year of production-1990; probably never shown since. 12.5%; 1990 a terrific red year, usually not so for riesling; this had backbone; sweet acidity; nut power. — 11 years ago

Icon. Future of serious Vinho Verde, even more serious Alvarinho. Amazing wine! — 11 years ago

The pale straw '10 Nobilo Icon Sauvignon Blanc has fresh aromatics of pink grapefruit, citrus peel, gooseberry and a hint of litter box. The refreshing palate has flinty minerality and juicy acidity. It's a little more restrained than most NZ SB's. Nice tropical fruit in the generous and persistent finish. — 12 years ago

Was pretty closed to start with but opening up beautifully over a few days and really started to grow on me. Dark fruits, cedar, tobacco and a little violet on the nose. Became more structured and chewy the longer it was open. — 8 years ago

Mote density then the Amoureuses and slightly darker fruit. By itself a truly incredible wine but takes a backseat to the Les Amoureuses #burgundy #icon #chambollemusigny — 9 years ago

Not its best version, still too young still, but one can I say? An icon, Alicante's mentor! — 9 years ago

It's been a few years since last visiting this icon and midnight on a Sunday seemed like a good idea. #Absolutelyoutstanding and preferred over all of its peers. Opulence in the autolysis department yet enough fruit to balance and keep it focused. Quintessential 'spoil yourself' champagne at the top of the class. If only I could make it a weekly event..TS — 10 years ago

Continues to carry the flag for Texas wines. To me, this is the icon of Texas wine production. Consistently velvety red fruits, leather, a little jalapeño jelly, and soft tannins. — 10 years ago

Cabernet from Campania, typically around 50-70% with Aglianico and Merlot making up the balance. In 2004 the cepage is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Aglianico.

One of the icon wines of Italy, Montevetrano can sometimes fly under the radar, known less to the mainstream crowd of wine drinkers but those that do know it love it.

The best part is that Montevetrano has its own expression entirely, it does not try to be one of the other thousands of Bordeaux or Napa wannabes. Judicious oak, ample acidity, good fruit an mineral presence. Not to mention it is 12 years old and is just starting to show some tertiary notes. The color is pristine, a deep ruby red.

A decade down the track- this is brilliant. Gorgeous fruit, balanced oak, and still a zingy acid line that makes me wonder about years ahead. Aussie icon Chard. — 10 years ago
