House of Arras

Grand Vintage Champagne Blend 2008

Tuesday the 26th of January was Australia Day and a public holiday. What better way to celebrate than Australia’s best fizz Arras Grand Vintage from Tasmania. Quite light lemon in colour. Very citrussy and mineral on the nose. 7 years on Lees showing in the complexity of the palate which still shows tension and refreshment. See previous notes for the 2007 which was slightly better and Champion Wine of the Royal Brisbane Show. — 4 years ago

Domaine A

Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Wonderful cold climate Cabernet Sauvignon from just outside of Hobart. Herbaceous almost grassy with a hint of mint. Intense black fruit on the mid-palate with a wonderful grippy kick. Had four of these now over 4 years and yet to be disappointed. The bottle variation is almost nonexistent. — 9 years ago

Riesling

Lady A Fume Blanc Sauvignon Blanc

Stunning. New but not modern. Huge power, beautifully (fully) integrated wood on this pure Sauv Blanc. Insane length and delineation across the palate. Shockwave structure. — 4 years ago

Dalrymple Vineyards

Pipers River Pinot Noir 2018

A delicious Tassie Pinot that makes an impression from the outset.
Balanced acidity with flavours of sour cherry and raspberry.
A touch of spice giving it a long finish full of complexity.
Close to perfection.

Pretty nice pinot, on the thicker side, reminds me of zinfandel. Dried dark cherry and almonds. Cherries linger in the aftertaste. — 8 years ago

Bellwether

Tamar Valley Chardonnay 2012

Very pale lemon in colour. Tasted after the Premier Cru Hubert Lamy and similar in many ways - the texture, the acid, the citrus the subdued oak influence, but not as much minerality or salinity. Made by Sue Bell at her Bellwether winery in Coonawarra from Chardonnay grapes from the Tamar River in Tasmania. A good wine in the leaner style - showing the quality of Tasmanian Chardonnay. Consistent notes 88 weeks later on 9th December 2020. Chablisesque. Grapefruit notes. Still bracing acidity. — 6 years ago

Freycinet Vineyard

Chardonnay

A little more melow aromatic-wise than one may forecast but this wine is looking super, super youthful. There is a slight spice and toast to the new peering through. Bright aromas of peach, candied grapefruit, cashew and watermelon chupa chup are the most present initially. Texturally quite creamy, crisp acid and quite decent length too. — 9 years ago
