2006 Frankland Estate, Olmo's Reward, Frankland River, AustraliaThe price of the 75cl bottle, reduced from £45.50 previously, includes a 30% discount. This offer is valid until midnight on 31st January and does not apply to BBX listings.
Named after Dr Harold Olmo, who first identified the potential of vines in the remote Frankland River region, this fully mature wine is a blend of 52% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose shows dried blackberry and forest floor aromas, complemented by woodsmoke and a hint of marzipan. The palate is rich and smooth, with the Cabernet Franc adding spice and a firm grip of tannins on the finish. This Margaret River wine is miles away Eboth stylistically and quite literally Efrom the fruity reds of the Barossa.

2021 Leeuwin Estate, Art Series Riesling, Margaret River, AustraliaCrisp, with pure lime leaf and citrus zest aromas. A firm, linear racy acid line lifts the elegant palate that shows concentrated citrus fruits. Refined and delicate palate texture. Great potential for further ageing in the bottle.

2016 Opus One, Napa Valley, California (Magnum)
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Opus One bursts from the glass with ripe blueberries, black cherry jam and cr?me de cassis with hints of violets, dark chocolate, cedar chest and cardamom, plus a touch of charcoal. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate delivers layer upon layer of opulent stewed black fruit with amazing tension and firm, ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long with a whole array of exotic spices coming through.

2018 Leeuwin Estate, Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River, Australia
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is all you could hope for from Australian Cab. This is already showing a nice development, with woodsmoke and gentle pepper underneath the rich blackberry, cassis and eucalyptus character. The palate is rich, concentrated and yet silky smooth, with tannins than show subtle grip. The tobacco and polished leather character on the mid-palate bring real balance and lift. A real reminder of why I love Australia Cabernet Sauvignon.

2017 Opus One, Napa Valley, California (Magnum)
A remarkable wine for the year, the 2017 Opus One is a dense, full-throttle beauty. Plush fruit and soft, silky contours give the 2017 its racy personality. Exotic, beautifully perfumed and impeccable in its balance, Opus One is one of the most complete wines of the vintage. In 2017, Opus One has a distinctly red-toned fruit profile that distinguishes it from the surrounding vintages.

2018 Opus One, Napa Valley, California
The 2018 Opus One is absolutely exquisite. Bright red berry fruit, crushed flowers, mint and spice are all finely cut. The 2018 impresses with its energy and focus. It's a gorgeous wine, and is also showing especially well today, with all of the potential I first saw in barrel very much on display. Bright acids linger on the persistent finish. The 2018 is supremely elegant.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com (January 2022)___
The 2018 Opus One is incredibly elegant and polished, right out of the bottle. Silky tannins and lifted, perfumed aromatics add to an impression of finesse that distinguishes the 2018 from some of the preceding vintages in a pretty big way. It will be interesting to see if the 2018 gains body with a bit of time in bottle. It is pretty rare for Opus One to be so approachable at this stage.
