This is the generic Bordeaux from the Domaine Clarence Dillon. When they first told me about this, I thought it was probably not the best idea in the world, but the quality of the wine speaks for itself. I think they have been right on the money with what they have achieved with this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of Graves-like scorched earth, charcoal and blackcurrants, this wine is dense, medium-bodied, quite supple and rich. Despite its precociousness, it clearly has capacity, with this depth and structure, to age 7-10 years.Inc. GSTSG$671.22 -

Full ruby. Superripe aromas of roasted plum, saddle leather, smoked meat, mint and oak spice. Huge, thick and sweet; extraordinarily ripe but supported by firm, ripe acids.

The 2001 Syrah Astralis Vineyard may be just as compelling as the 2002. Tighter because of being in the bottle, it is an extraordinary effort that offers the essence of graphite, blackberry liqueur, espresso, and acacia flowers, all combining into an olfactory smorgasbord for the senses. Sensationally concentrated, with sweet tannin, but neither weighty nor over the top as might be expected for a wine of such extreme richness, it is an extraordinarily well-delineated Syrah that should hit its prime in 10-12 years, and last for 30-40.

The 2002 Syrah Astralis Vineyard rivals the greatest wines Roman Bratasiuk has made in his 15-year career. This compelling, black/blue-hued offering from 75-year-old Syrah vines tastes like blood of the vine. An extraordinary perfume of flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, roasted meat, new saddle leather, and earth is followed by a wine with sweet tannin, sensational concentration, full body, an unctuous texture, and a full-throttle, tannic finish. Yet it reveals unbelievable elegance and finesse. Too many Euro-centric elitists argue that Australian wines are too rich and over the top, but all of these offerings have been made by someone with great talent and vision who takes the extraordinary ripeness and purity of fruit available from these old vine vineyards and crafts them into wines that are quite European in style ... just richer and denser.

The flagship of the Clarendon Hills line, this comes from a patch of 80-year-old vines that winemaker Bratasiuk claims routinely provides his best fruit. The 2004 is a stunner, yielding up scents of flowers and spice, framed by hints of vanillin oak. It's dense and amply textured in the mouth, packed with wonderfully expressive blackberry and blueberry fruit, then shows layers of rich tannins on the finish that leave no doubt this needs time in the cellar to show its best.

At the top of the pyramid is the 2005 Syrah Astralis Vineyard. It is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1920 and is one of the Syrah cuvees in which 100% new oak is utilized (along with Brookman, Hickinbotham, and Piggott Range). It delivers an ethereal bouquet of smoky oak, violets, espresso, black pepper, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Densely packed and tightly wound, all it needs is time.

If you could drink this 2018 Astralis Syrah all day, by god you would. I mean, I would. The oak feels imperceptible, which I discover is adapted depending on the concentration of the year.

The 2018 Clarke is a potent wine. A blast of dark red cherry fruit, iron, smoke, grilled herbs and menthol makes a strong opening statement. Readers should plan on being patient, as the 2018 is going to need a number of years to soften. Even so, it is pretty impressive today. Cedar, leather and game add aromatic nuance, but Clarke is ultimately a pretty rich, potent Listrac that just needs time. The only question is how much.Inc. GSTSG$395.02 -

The 2020 Clarke has a classically-styled bouquet with strict blackberry, graphite and mint aromas that might lead you towards Pauillac instead of Listrac.

Its subtle mineral edge speaks of the schist and rhyolite soils that have nurtured it. Clau De Nell Anjou Grolleau 2017 is incredibly flexible, gastronomically, making it a treasured addition to any wine collection. Savour the craftsmanship and heritage that resounds in each glass of this sumptuously textured, biodynamically-farmed creation, echoing the virtue of its acclaimed maker.

(6x75cl) 2018Experience the exquisite taste of Clau de Nell Anjou Grolleau 2018, a distinctive red wine with a vibrant character. Delicately crafted by celebrated winemaker Anne-Claude Leflaive, this wine comes from the resplendent vineyards of Anjou, a coveted winemaking region within the prestigious Loire Valley, often hailed as the 'Garden of France'. The meticulously selected Grolleau grapes were hand-harvested, manually sorted, and aged in oak, flawlessly embodying the domain's organic and biodynamic principles. This prodigious production method has resulted in an elegant wine brimming with aromas of ripe red berries and subtle hints of earthiness, leading to a lively, buoyant palate.
Its vibrant acidity and purity of fruit make the Clau de Nell Anjou Grolleau 2018 perfect for those with a palate for nature's authenticity.

(6x75cl) 2017The Clau de Nell Cabernet Franc 2017 heralds from the esteemed Anjou region of Loire Valley, France. An exquisite example of venerable wine maker Anne-Claude Leflaive and her husband Christian Jacques's biodynamic principles, this offering is a testament to their devoted craftsmanship. This ruby-red delight rewards the discerning palate with a complex symphony of red fruits, complemented by evocative notes of graphite and bell pepper. Each grape is hand-picked and the vinification process warrants special mention: fermentation transpires naturally in oak vats over a low-temperature, extended period, thus preserving the nuanced flavours. The wine matures for a further 12 months in the same oak vats before bottling. Mouth-filling, elegant, and vibrant with a lingering finish, the Clau de Nell Cabernet Franc 2017 is an embodiment of its terroir's character, exhibiting a perfect blend of fruit, acidity, and tannin.

Expertly produced by Clau de Nell, a notable winery respected for its dedication to biodynamic practices, this wine stands out for its remarkable complexity and depth. The winemaker, Anne-Claude Leflaive, ensures the terroire shines through by hand-picking the grapes at perfect maturity to capture their natural sweetness. During fermentation, native yeasts are used to maintain the wine's inherent character.
The result of this diligently executed process is a luxurious wine boasting an elegant nose adorned with floral notes interlaced with just a hint of wild strawberries. On the palate, the Clau de Nell Cuvee Violette 2014 expresses soft, ‘crunchy’ tannins that sing harmoniously with the vibrant fruity undertones and a persistent finish. Truly a testament to the incredible quality of wines emerging from this esteemed Loire Valley estate.

The 2016 Anjou Violette is deep, intense, very pure and elegant on the harmonious nose, with perfectly ripe dark and red berry aromas (blackcurrant) intertwined with floral aromas. Silky, finessed and fresh on the palate, this is a very delicate and charming blend of Cab Franc (two-thirds 45-year-old vines) and Cab Sauvignon (one-third 65-year-old vines) with perfectly ripe, concentrated but juicy fruit, a velvety and concentrated texture, very fine and crunchy tannins and enormous intensity, thanks to the low-yielding Cabernets. This is a beautifully finessed and silky-textured Anjou that reveals its concentration and depth only on the finish. The wine was aged in barrels for 18 months and then spent another six months in vat. Bottled in April 2017.Inc. GSTSG$250.13

The 2016 Anjou Violette is deep, intense, very pure and elegant on the harmonious nose, with perfectly ripe dark and red berry aromas (blackcurrant) intertwined with floral aromas. Silky, finessed and fresh on the palate, this is a very delicate and charming blend of Cab Franc (two-thirds 45-year-old vines) and Cab Sauvignon (one-third 65-year-old vines) with perfectly ripe, concentrated but juicy fruit, a velvety and concentrated texture, very fine and crunchy tannins and enormous intensity, thanks to the low-yielding Cabernets. This is a beautifully finessed and silky-textured Anjou that reveals its concentration and depth only on the finish. The wine was aged in barrels for 18 months and then spent another six months in vat. Bottled in April 2017.In BondSG$178.00
