Eldorado Road is back on the tasting bench this Saturday, please come and join us to taste some liquid gold!

A bit of grip. A touch of fennel. It’s suggestive of power, it’s a wallflower, but it’s all there if you look. This is excellent.

They only bottled 3 of this and we have 1!
6 litre bottle of 2002 Torbreck Les Amis


The youngest wine we tasted was the sensational 2002 Les Amis (100% Grenache from 100+-year-old vines). This is a Grenache aged in new oak (something I normally don’t like), but at age seven it has thrown off any evidence of its barrique aging, exhibiting classic notes of black raspberries, black currants, lavender, earth, and pepper. Full-bodied with gorgeous purity, a multilayered texture, and a long finish with no hard edges

2001 Domaine de La RomanĂ©e-Conti RomanĂ©e-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru (Marey-Monge) đŸ·

96 Points Allen Meadows
This displays a positively classic nose of soaring Asian spices, ripe plum and a gamut of ripe, pure and lacy red and black fruits with the latter predominating all wrapped together with a seductive kiss of sweetly scented, highly perfumed violets; the nose is, in a word, intoxicating.

All of this aromatic intensity leads to remarkably powerful, linear and still taut flavors that show simply unbelievable complexity and stunning length.

This will very likely surpass every other RSV from the Domaine in recent memory from a sheer aromatics perspective as the nose really is dazzling.

For my taste this has just about arrived at the front end of its peak drinkability though it should hold easily for years to come.

18/20 Jancis Robinson
One of the darkest and most impressive of the DRC 2001s.

Mid ruby with some evolution. Serious, dense, intriguing nose – dry rather than sweet. Really quite powerful.

Heady and now we enter into the magic kingdom of DRC! Very luscious and with some greenness still but with great fruit. Freshness and density. Dancing.

The ripest and most complete. Broad, this wine spreads across the palate. Real sweetness, with delicacy. Long. Great life to this.

Wild weather why not taste Wildflower?
Today from 1pm- 5pm

“St Florence: Semillon, M&J Becker was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 300kg of organic handpicked, whole bunch Semillon from the Ablington vineyard in Pokolbin, NSW. After a five month maceration and refermentation of fruit and beer, it was bottled and allowed to naturally carbonate and mature for 6 months before release.”

2019 Grange đŸ·

Deep crimson. Lifted fresh dark chocolate, mocha dark cherry blackberry, paneforte, mocha aromas with liquorice aniseed notes.

Superbly balanced wine with plentiful dark chocolate, blackberry fruits, fine graphite firm tannins, lovely mid plate richness and well-balanced mocha, espresso oak notes. Finishes chocolaty firm and long.

Elemental, expressive and expansive with lovely fruit complexity oak integration, density and torque.

A brilliant follow up to the 2018 vintage.

2023 Glaetzer-Dixon Avance Pinot Noir đŸ·

Bright cherry and raspberry aromas continue to a full flavoured palate of fresh mixed red berries.

Silky tannins and integrated acid balances and lengthens the delicious finish.

“This is an impressive wine, from an impressive producer. This pinot noir is blessed as much with confidence as it is with length, its sour-smoky fruits littered with sweet herb and orange rind notes, a whisper of reduction not hurting matters at all.

A dry, structural, fruit-pulsed finish makes for a beautiful exit. Quality and value are both on offer here.”
- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Nick Glaetzer has had a dream run since moving to Tasmania, winning a stack of awards and winning plenty of fans. With excellent value releases like this excellent Pinot Noir, it’s no wonder.

A well priced Tassie Pinot Noir is becoming increasingly difficult to find!

Prieure-Roch Vosne-RomanĂ©e Les Hautes-MaiziĂšres 2019 đŸ·

Based in Prémeaux-Prissey, Domaine Prieuré-Roch is a prestigious wine estate formed in 1988 by the late Henry-Frédéric Roch.

Henry, who sadly passed away in 2018, was the nephew of Lalou Bize-Leroy and also the co-director – along with Aubert de Villaine – of the Domaine de la RomanĂ©e-Conti from 1992 until his untimely death.

Today, the estate covers approximately 16 hectares of vines of which 12 are in the CĂŽte de Nuits. The winemaking philosophy at the domaine is built upon an organic approach to viticulture.

The result are wines of extraordinary aromatics and energy, with remarkable acidity and ripe, complex fruits.

This particular cuvĂ©e comes from the lieu-dit ‘Les Hautes MaiziĂšres’ situated just below the premier cru ‘Les Suchots’.

Here the domaine cultivates a 0.62-hectare plot, where the vines are approximately 45 years old. A limited production of 2,000 bottles.

Substance đŸŸ

Anselme Selosse’s Substance draws from a perpetual blend started in 1986, sourcing juice from two Avize sites: the south-facing Le Mont de Cramant and the east-facing Les Chantereines.

Each release spends 5-6 years on lees and is bottled with minimal dosage, between zero and two grams, allowing it to express terroir over time rather than through a specific vintage.

Unlike Millésime, this approach creates a rich, full-bodied Champagne with remarkable depth and complexity, reflecting the age and layered evolution of the blend.

On tasting today đŸ·


Torzi Matthews Francesca Grillo Syrah 2022

“Very complete, fine b***d, panforte leads over black cherry, green olive, a touch of mint, some faint charcuterie notes in perfume and palate, a good echo in both.

Slinky texture with a sheath of fine, silty tannins, stretches long and fine with gentle palate-staining sweet fruit, salt bush and crispness. A little bloody drizzle too.

So succulent too. Refreshing also. Vin de soif meets something fancier, a gluggable wine with Afghan Hound pedigree. It’s such a treat to drink, with all the great wine touchstones.”

Chablis 1er Cru ‘Vaillons’ 2021

“Wafting from the glass with attractive aromas of pear, orange zest, white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is medium to full-bodied, with an elegantly satiny attack that segues into a layered core of bright fruit, concluding with a saline, perfumed finish.

It’s produced from four of this large premier cru’s climats.”

2013 Astralis đŸ·

The lyrical and beautiful Clarendon Hills Astralis Syrah is a highly complex and well concentrated wine with dark liquorice, blackberry, mocha aromas and touches of chamomile, earthy, bitumen, herb garden notes.

It is a changing kaleidoscope of aromas and flavours with dry, slinky tannins, plenty of fruit richness and underlying savoury oak.

With age the wine develops paneforte, dark chocolate, cedar, spicy aromas and superb chocolaty textures.

The wine is generally more muscular than standard McLaren Vale Shirazes with a compelling buoyancy, energy and flavour length. Vinification takes place in variable capacity, open stainless steel fermenters and is then matured in new ‘Burgundian’ piùces for 18 months.

“This has very complex aromas of exotic spices with graphite and dark plums, as well as black tea, iodine, white pepper and some redder plum, too.

The palate has a striking level of concentration of rich red plums and blackberries. Super-fine, long tannins hold so long.

Powerful. Very youthful.

Drink over the next decade or more.”

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard 2011
Vosne RomanĂ©e Malconsorts đŸ·

A combination of oak and natural spice elements add considerable range to the cool red currant, plum and violet infused nose.

There is excellent richness and power to the robust and tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that display a very firm minerality yet the supporting tannins are more refined than is typical with this wine.

There is outstanding complexity and even in the context of the relatively forward 2011 vintage this is a wine that is clearly built to age.

In a word, marvelous.
