1 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment). A splendid still dark magenta color. On the nose: restrained nose of dark red stewed fruit, forest floor, vanilla oak, mushroom. Taste: silky, smooth wine with ripe dried blackberry, currants, worn leather, and a earthy/iron/coffee medium plus finish. Drink em if you got em. — 2 days ago

Quite dense crimson in colour. Very spicy nose with meaty notes. Silky graphite like tannins. More savoury spicy than fruity on the medium weight palate. Great conditions in the Yarra Valley in 2015. The winner of the Trevor Mast Trophy for Best Shiraz and also Trophy for best single vineyard wine at the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards in 2016. Amazing QPR at only $30. Will go on for 5+ years at least with the structure it has. Have 2 bottles left. — 5 years ago

Wonderful earthy perfume of red fruits, rose petals, mushroom, decayed plant matter, sous bois. Aromas that you go back to time and time again - intoxicating. Medium bodied palate with resolved Tannins, M minus acid and M plus length. Really should not have a Bass Phillip Premium under 10 years of age. 2009 was a good year for BP so Phillip Jones said at the time, but they would have had vintages since which equal or slightly better this. One of Australia’s best Pinot Noirs. — 6 years ago

My last bottle of this superb Syrah. Winner of the Trevor Mast Trophy for best Shiraz in the 2015 Royal Melbourne Wine Show. Very Northern Rhone like. Rich and savoury, spicy, slightly meaty. Full bodied. Dark Chocolate with hints of bacon fat. At its peak at 11 years old. I see Antonio Galloni gave it 93 points with a drinking window through to 2027. What can’t the Yarra Valley do? Known for its excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay but also its fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Go elsewhere for Riesling. — 8 months ago

This is officially the Bass Phillip Estate Chardonnay but that choice not offered by Delectable. The wine is pale gold in colour. Aromas of leesy solids, cashews and toasty notes. On the palate sweetish, mandarin flesh and white nectarines. Quite developed on the palate with minimal acid and Medium + Intensity. A mouthful of flavour - quite delicious in the richer spectrum. If Phillip Jones makes great Pinot Noir he should be able to make great Chardonnay, and he does. — 5 years ago

Mint and pear on the nose. Upfront there’s a really interesting impression of cotton candy or bubblegum. Then I get a mild apple cider vinegar and tart pear note. Finishes with a strong lemon oil linger. Aged pretty nicely, only a hint of ferment that I actually kind of linked! — 5 years ago
