Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz 2024 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From vines of now 56 years of age, the warm, early and small harvest of 2024 has given birth to a Graveyard of density and structure. Blackberries meet black pepper, coal dust and liquorice in a powerfully concentrated Hunter Shiraz, well supported by strong, fine-grained tannins and bright, tangy acid line. With impressive line and persistence, this is a Graveyard not to be dug up for a long time.” $500. @brokenwoodwines @huntervalley.wine @tyson_stelzer #strong #bright #impressive ❤️
Australia’s number 1 winery refuses to stand still. Yarra Yering’s general manager, Sarah Crowe reports in WBM, “What’s staying is commitment to the cause! Wine quality first, everything else after that.” Read the full 19-page article, featuring words from some of the most influential people in Australian wine in the latest edition of WBM. @sarah.scarecrow @yarra_yering #WBM #Wine #Australianwine
Apogee Tasmania Alto Pinot Noir 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie. “Elegant and finely detailed, this is another stellar release offering up red cherry, dried cranberry and subtle, woody spice notes threaded through a silky frame and a dash of dried herbs for good measure. The palate carries freshness, persistence and a savoury nuance within ribs of silty tannin. A delicate wine, a softly spoken Pinot Noir of refinement and grace. Master at work.” $75. @apogeetasmania @winetasmania @mikebennie101 #elegant #detailed ☺️☺️
Penfolds Superblend 802.B 2022 scores 97 points from Tyson Stelzer. “Penfolds’ first Superblend release since the inaugural 2018 represents a powerful and confidently structured wine engineered for the long haul. The ‘B’ edition is co-matured (unusual for Penfolds) in new and used French oak hogsheads, bringing a wonderful synergy to Cabernet (69 percent) and Shiraz. A classic core of Cabernet blackcurrant and Shiraz blueberry is wrapped in deep folds of dark chocolate oak. Fine tannins deliver tremendous structure and enormous endurance.” $900. @penfolds @tyson_stelzer #powerful #structure #endurance 👏
