Deutz 'William Deutz' 1999, Ay, since 1983 in the hands of Louis Roederer, slight different philosophy, all wines undergo malolactic fermentation, which explains their rich and expansive texture. Very likeable and slurp-able, with its upfront tropical fruit, spice, toastiness and butterscotch flavour. Serious price tag though... — 11 years ago

After decanting for an hour, it display a very soft fresh berry aromas with hint of vanilla. "Drinking it is like eating berries in the woods. " described by <Vino Italiano> when talking about Sangiovese. I can't believe this is a 16 years old bottle. Cepparello is the first 100% Sangiovese wine in Chianti. It adopted the "Super Tuscan" philosophy but rooted the wine in Tuscany deeply. Definitely gonna clear out the stock from Hedonism. — 12 years ago

I really the the philosophy behind these wines. Made by Mike Etzel and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, the fire comes from Jory soils, the flood from willakenzie . A powerful, big, and unmistakably new world pinot -- but remarkably balanced and not without grace. Fleshy raspberries, cinnamon, and scorched earth. I could drink many of these -- if however they weren't so aggressively priced... — 10 years ago

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I don't care what anybody says for 27 bucks this is Australia's best valued wine. I admire Huntington's philosophy regarding the 5 year moratorium they impose on their releases. I tried this alongside a 2010 and a 2012 and it's obvious to see why they wait the five years. As a young wine the Cab Savs are huge and overwhelmingly tannic to the point of overkill. However, with 6 years of age this wine is magnificent: the perfect storm. It has harmonious balance, defined structure and yet the tannins are as soft as butter. It also has enough length to reach Sydney from Mudgee. The whole experience is superbly rounded off with a slightly creamy finish that will make you believe in Santa. Red Magic. — 11 years ago

Love this wine and you have to respect the aging philosophy of Tondonia. It was a little closed at first but with in the hour it was singing.

This is not the Yakka Jack but just known as The Red, their entry level bistro/pub red blend of Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese and Shiraz. Good pepperiness, dry tannins good with a variety of foods. Drank a bit above its price point at $20. Tasted the full range at the winery. Highlights were the Wally White (Oaked Semillon), a 100% Malbec and their flagship The Investigator, 100% Cab Franc which was excellent. Love the Lurton Family philosophy in wine making technique here on KI as explained by manager, Yale. 16.5+ for The Red. — 11 years ago

One of the true souls of Etna, from a centenary vineyard, grapes are Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante and Francisi. Iper-organic philosophy, a real masterpiece. Amazing wine! — 12 years ago
