Red Wine of the Year, 97 points, Tim Atkin MW, 2023 Report on Chilean wines.
Lota is the flagship wine of Cousiño Macul, an emblem of heritage, precision, and exceptional terroir. Sourced from the winery’s most treasured parcels, including Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in 1932, this wine represents the pinnacle of the family’s winemaking tradition. These ungrafted vines are descendants of original French cuttings brought to Chile in the 1860s and grow at the foot of the Andes, 600 meters above sea level, in rocky, loamy soils that yield naturally low quantities of intensely concentrated fruit.
In the glass, the 2019 Lota reveals a nose that is rich and layered, offering aromas of cassis, blackberry, and black cherry interwoven with cedar, cocoa, and subtle hints of warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet impressively refined. Lush black fruit flavours are framed by fine, ripe tannins and nuanced oak, creating a harmonious balance that culminates in a long, elegant, and ultra-smooth finish.
This is a wine of power, grace, and provenance, worthy of extended cellaring, but compellingly drinkable now. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a Cabernet-based wine that marries Old World sophistication with New World vitality.
Domaine Georges Lignier, based in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, is a fifth-generation family estate with roots stretching back to the late 19th century. Today, it is run by Benoît Stehly, the great-nephew of Georges Lignier, who has steadily elevated the domaine’s reputation by focusing on expressive, terroir-driven Pinot Noir across 16 hectares of prized vineyard holdings. The estate’s philosophy combines traditional Burgundian methods with meticulous attention to vineyard detail, producing wines of purity, structure, and age-worthy finesse.
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Rouge is a graceful, finely-etched expression of this famed appellation, known for its silky texture and aromatic delicacy. Sourced from vines rooted in limestone soils, this wine captures the essence of Chambolle’s “feminine” style, offering both charm and precision.
In the glass, it opens with fragrant aromas of wild strawberry, cherry blossom, and crushed raspberry, gently laced with hints of violet, white pepper, and forest undergrowth. The palate is refined and lithe, with juicy red fruit at its core, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a whisper of minerality. There’s a clarity and freshness to the 2021 vintage that lends vibrancy and lift, leading to a long, poised finish that echoes with subtle spice and floral nuance.
Elegant and expressive, the 2021 Chambolle-Musigny from Georges Lignier is a classic, terroir-focused wine that delivers immediate drinking pleasure while offering the potential for graceful development over the next 5–8 years. A beautiful companion to roast poultry, game birds, or a simple mushroom risotto.
This fascinating vineyard is located at the top of the highest hill of the La Court estate and has an exposure of 360 degrees surface area of the vineyard. Set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site the vineyard that the grapes for this wine came from is only 1 hectare in size and was planted in 1964 so production is very limited and only in the best years.
2010 was one such year producing an intense and concentrated Barbera. The nose is elegant yet complex with notes of black fruits, black cherry, wild flowers and sweet spices. These flavours flow into the palate which is like velvet, silky and fresh. The classic Barbera acidity is integrated and allows the cassis and black fruit flavours to shine. The finish is long and persistent. This wine will improve and last for many years. Drink now to 2035.
This is great wine for Agnolotti with a roasted meat sauce, tagliolini with porcini, braised lamb and well-matured cheeses.
The label for this special Riserva was created by Ugo Nespolo, one of the greatest exponents of Italian Pop Art.
Ten Minutes by Tractor needs little introduction, nor does the man in charge, Martin Spedding. A gently-spoken man with a background in finance and IT, in 2002, he finally acknowledged the fact that his true passion lay in wine. Despite his origins in New South Wales, he simply couldn’t get enough of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and would travel down to Victoria to immerse himself in Australia’s heartland of these noble varieties. In 2003, he visited one of his favourite small wineries on Mornington Peninsula and was delighted to discover that it was for sale. Without a moment’s hesitation, he snapped it up, and so began Martin’s journey with Ten Minutes by Tractor.
Trahere are a new limited release range of wines that are inspired by the high-density vineyard in Main Ridge and are the culmination of many years of planning, hard work and passion.
The 2021 Trahere Pinot Noir opens in the glass with a bouquet that is very fragrant, lifted, and fresh, showcasing red cherry, strawberry, and raspberry aromas, complemented by a hint of five-spice and a layer of autumn leaves, forest floor, and potpourri. On the palate, it is delicate, highly detailed, ethereal and texturally refined, culminating in a pristine and beautiful finish.
The 2021 Trahere Pinot Noir is sourced from a blend of estate vineyards: 50% from the high-density Spedding Vineyard, 38% from Judd Vineyard, and 12% from McCutcheon Vineyard. These vineyards are situated in the elevated Main Ridge area of the Mornington Peninsula, featuring rich red volcanic soils with deposits of ironstone. The high-density planting creates greater competition between vines, resulting in deeper root systems, smaller bunch and berry sizes, and significantly greater flavour concentration.
Limited production of 2724 bottles & 150 magnums.
A mix of gnarly, old Shiraz partnered with youthful, exotic and fragrant white varieties. The Shiraz offers a nose brimming with dark, earthen fruits, woody spices and rich blackberry aromas. Viognier adds fragrance in the form of apricot, ginger and florals, Roussanne delivers an exotic, dried almond and papaya note, and the Marsanne contributes pistachio and yellow stonefruit.
The palate is generous, with layers of fruit characters that ebb and flow through the entire length. The tannin structure is unique, thanks to the mingling of red and white phenolics. The rustic, chunky, mid-palate Shiraz tannins are tempered by the lusciousness of the white varieties, the finish enhanced by the addition of fragrant, flowery tannins, mainly on account of the Viognier and more nutty, walnut skin texture, from the Roussanne.
A complex and alluring wine that evolves in the glass. So much individual character and much to take in, but somehow we are left with a sense of harmony between the old bloke and the three young blondes.
A savoury Pinot Noir with chanterelle mushroom and white truffle aromas leading to a lively, pure and beautifully balanced palate with a concentrated core of red fruit.
Aroha, a term of endearment in the Māori language of New Zealand, carries the profound essence of love. In perfect alignment with its evocative namesake, Aroha is a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted from the union of two exceptional parcels of Pinot Noir, one of which is graced by the legendary Abel clone.
These grapes are nurtured on the slopes of an elevated terrace within the Te Muna Road vineyard, where an ancient, long-dry riverbed once wove its course. In its wake, it left behind soil teeming with the richness and nutrients ideal for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. This terroir, imbued with history and character, serves as the cradle of Aroha’s distinct and captivating flavors.
Marion is a distinguished winery located in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Italy. Under the guidance of Celestino Gaspari, who honed his craft under the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli, Marion has established a reputation for producing wines of exceptional depth and character. The winery employs selective harvesting, partial drying techniques (appassimento), and long ageing in Slavonian oak barrels to develop structure and complexity.
The 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella from Marion presents a deep ruby hue with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers an alluring bouquet of crushed black cherries, lavender, and dusty earth. The palate is deeply textural and velvety, showcasing penetrating dark fruits offset by zesty spiced orange and mineral nuances. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving impressions of cinnamon, black pepper, and liquorice.
The nose on this elegant cabernet is generous, rich and ripe with plenty of classic blackcurrant fruit with cocoa and tobacco notes. The palate is fresh and herbal with thyme notes that lift the concentrated black fruit. Smooth, silky tannins and a wonderful freshness on the finish.
Rifle Range Road, which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, is in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. The old rifle range is long gone, but the farming land and vineyards that have long been part of the landscape are still there. “Because most of our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it seemed the most appropriate name for this wine, which has been part of Rockford since the very beginning.”
The 2020 Elderton Command Shiraz stands as a testament to the Barossa Valley’s rich winemaking heritage and Elderton’s commitment to excellence. Sourced exclusively from a single block of the Nuriootpa estate, planted in 1894 and classed as an Ancestor Vineyard under the Barossa Old Vine Charter, this wine represents over a century of viticultural excellence and family legacy.
Crafted by the second generation of the Ashmead family, Allister and Cameron, this iconic Shiraz continues the vision set by their parents – to produce one of the great wines of the world. Since its first release in 1984, Command has garnered a reputation as one of Australia’s most celebrated and collectable Shiraz wines.
In the glass, the nose is rich and brooding, layered with dark, concentrated fruits and lifted by intriguing notes of roasted coffee bean. On the palate, plush flavours of spiced plums and cloves unfold, supported by a fine seam of black forest character. Bold, yet beautifully poised, the tannin structure is firm but polished, carrying the wine to a seamless, long finish underscored by remarkable fruit purity and complexity.
This vintage is poised for longevity, with the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over the next 15 to 20 years. While already impressive in its youth, it will reward careful cellaring, unfolding further nuance and finesse with time. A truly remarkable wine that captures the soul of its historic vineyard and the enduring spirit of the Elderton estate.
This is an outstanding Pinot Noir from the renowned Brewer-Clifton. The 3D vineyard is nestled between Lafond and Ampelos in the Santa Rita Hills and was the first vineyard planted by the Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton in 2007. It is pure and elegant on the nose with expressive aromas of red cherries, candied raspberry and strawberry. The palate is expansive with flavours of sweet fruits, tea leaf and fine spices. Lovely structure and precision here. Incredible finesse and purity.
At Brewer Clifton they strive to remove the winemaker’s signature, allowing the voice of the vineyard to be the overriding expression. Only neutral barrels are employed and they strive for whole cluster fermentation, interestingly the fruit from each vineyard is handled identically from harvest to bottling, allowing the true essence of each site to be expressed.
They also farm with a focus of ripening the stems of the bunch alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with the exceptional Santa Rita Hills fruit. The analogy they use is roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavours very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.
The 2015 is a wine of great substance and beautiful ripeness. The generous core of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and redcurrant fruit is enveloped in savoury roasted notes. It is opulent and rich, with fine-grained tannins which delicately coat the palate through to the endless finish. Classic Margaux.
The vineyard is managed in an environmentally friendly manner and Cantenac Brown holds the Haute Valeur Environmentale certificate (HVE3) level 3 which is the highest level. Only plant-based fertilisers are applied using a moderate and balanced approach in tune with the needs of the vines. The double Guyot trained vines are meticulously cultivated throughout the year, with pruning, removal of buds, leaves and secondary shoots; thinning out and controlled yields. The Cantenac Brown team uses traditional soil maintenance techniques to enhance the structural, chemical and biological properties of the soil. The soil is predominantly gravelly soil, with clay and sand.
