"Technical Director Thomas Duroux and his team made one of the most brilliant wines of the 2016 vintage. Palmer is simply exceptional. Rich and dramatically sweeping in the glass, the 2016 is breathtaking. All the elements simply fall into place in a wine of mesmerizing beauty. The counterpoint of dark, sumptuous fruit and floral notes makes for an utterly compelling Palmer that will take its place among the estate's finest vintages. Dark cherry, lavender, spice and mocha are some of the many notes that build into a deep, substantial finish that is truly unforgettable. In a word: magnificent!" 100 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

2023 Chateau Pontet-Canet Pauillac 5eme Cru Classe
Offer: $259 | $239 in 6-Packs (Original Wooden Cases)

'... envelops the palate with silky tannins as hints of vibrant red-toned fruit, crushed flowers, spice and dried herbs fill out the layers. The 2023 is an exceptionally finessed Pontet-Canet. This is the first vintage in which the Grand Vin was blended early-in December following the harvest-as opposed to just before bottling, which had been the norm. That's one of many changes that resulted in a striking wine endowed with superb finesse. Tasted two times.' 98Pts. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

2023 Chateau Leoville Las Cases
Offer: $649 | $549 in 6-Packs (Original Wooden Cases)

'A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and only 4% Merlot,.. reminiscent of a modern-day version of the estate's excellent 2001. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, cassis and plums mingled with hints of licorice, mint and creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a taut core of fruit, lively acids and plenty of fine, youthfully firm tannins. It will require and reward patience.' 94-96Pts. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

2022 Chateau La Lagune Haut-Medoc 3eme Cru Classe
Offer: $139 | $129 in 6-Packs (Original Wooden Case: Only 1 Available)

'Reminding me, like the 2019, of a modern-day version of the lovely 1990, the 2022 La Lagune bursts with aromas of dark berries, cassis, licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's a broad, sensual wine with velvety tannins and a suave, charming profile. With 13.8% alcohol, it remains classically proportioned, with a rather high pH of over 3.8 likely contributing to its open, giving style this year.'

2023 Chateau Cissac Haut-Medoc
Offer: $44 | $39 in 6-Packs | $36 in Dozens

'Intense purple colour with violet hue. Very elegant and expressive nose, very pure fruit, blackcurrants and blackberries, hints of raspberries in the background and discreet toasting. A whiff of vanilla and discreet floral hints in the background. On the palate well-structured with balanced tannins, good aromatic length, very appealing finish, a very elegant and classic Cissac style, however interpreted in a contemporary way.' 92Pts - Markus Del Monego MW

2019 Chateau Les Justices Sauternes
Offer: $69

This sister estate of Gilette is larger at 8ha, and situated in Preignac near the Garonne River.. It's made up of 85% sémillon, 10% sauvignon and 5% muscadelle. with a generous proportion aged in barrels (unlike Gilette). This vintage now at a deliciously youthful 6yo, is a very good one and it scored 92 in the RdVdF. This will easily cellar for another decade. Cheers, Randall.

Yarra Valley Iconic Bordeaux Blends

2023 Mount Mary Quintet
Offer: $209

'In a hark back to cooler years, this was picked after the rain at the start of April. Brightly coloured, the result is a gorgeous wine; perfumed and beguiling with pure, blackcurrant fruit aromas, graphite, violets and subtle, oak-derived cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is classically medium bodied with lovely persistence, the fruit supported by balanced, fine-grained tannins and equally fine acidity. Like all great Mount Mary Quintets this will age gracefully over the next two decades but, given a good decant, is also balanced an approachable enough to enjoy in its youth.'

2023 Wantirna Estate Amelia Cab Sauv./Merlot
Offer: $109 | $104 in 3-Packs

'A 45/45/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot and cabernet franc/petit verdot blend with the majority coming off the original dry-grown 1963 plantings. A fabulous, bright crimson/purple. A touch riper and richer than the '22. There's a sumptuous core of dark fruits, violets, cedar and fresh pencil shavings on the nose. It's just as enticing on the perfectly pitched, medium bodied, elegant and very persistent palate. Everything is in place for a long and productive life!'

2021 Yeringberg Cabernets (Bordeaux Blend)
Offer: $98 | $94 in 3-Packs

'A blend of 58/14/14/9/5% cabernet sauvignon/cabernet franc/merlot/petit verdot/malbec. Matured 20 months in French barriques (35% new). Bright crimson purple. From a great year, this is a beautifully fragrant and seductive Yeringberg with its aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, cherry blossom, violets and just the right amount of oak-derived cedar and pencil-shaving scents. The epitome of medium bodied, it's elegant, discreet and persistent on the palate, even at this early juncture. Equally important, the fruit is perfectly framed by the wine's fine-grained and silky tannins and, as has been demonstrated on many occasions, this will mature slowly and gracefully.' 98Pts. - Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion
