PRECOCIOUS DISPLAY - JH97 - 55/45% estate-grown sauvignon blanc and semillon barrel-fermented in French oak (35% new). Three vineyard sections are picked and separately fermented, with a selection of the best barrels at the end of the process. The precocious display of fruit throughout has easily absorbed the oak, leaving lemongrass, citrus and a wisp of lime marmalade offset by cleansing natural acidity. Bred to stay.

AND THE PRICE : JH95 - Refined, fine-boned, pretty cabernet, shaped by chalky tannins that linger and whip around the palate. The impact of oak is minimal, leaving ample room for cassis to fully unfurl and eddy about. Something utterly satisfying on the palate here. Power without weight. From talented hands comes this quietly elegant wine, grown in a tiny, beautiful little region. And the price: don't start.

CHAPEL or CATHEDRAL? - JH96 - Gorge Block - Picked by a selective harvester with on-board berry sorting, open-fermented with cultured yeast, 20 days on skins, matured for 20 months in French hogsheads (18% new). An expressive and complex bouquet and full-bodied palate, each singing of black fruits, earth, licorice and dark chocolate. The tannins are an important part of the package, oak (appropriately) less so.

CHAPEL or CATHEDRAL? - JH96 - Gorge Block - McLaren Vale has the ability to produce terrific cabernet from time to time and here we have one. It's fresh and boysenberried, with ample sweet fruit, but it's also complex, long and sinewy, and that's where it really shines. Herbs, tobacco, mint, cassis and smoky oak flavours are all presented in energetic style, the aftertaste lingering on and on.

CHAPEL or CATHEDRAL? - JH96 - House Block -Hand-picked, crushed and destemmed into small 2-tonne open fermenters, neutral yeast, 10 days on skins, matured for 20 months in French hogsheads (16% new). Deep crimson-purple; this is a powerful full-bodied shiraz, swaggering with black fruits, licorice and earth met face-on by ripe tannins, oak a means, not an end. Part of the Scarce Earth series.

Deep, dense crimson-purple; saturnine black fruits, grumbling with concentration and power, burbles of licorice and bitter chocolate, swirls of ripe tannins. No L or P plate drivers allowed. Scarce Earth.

COTE ROTIE or CANBERRA - JH96 - The bright hue and perfumed, spicy red berry bouquet run true to type for this modern classic, setting the bar for the co-fermented blend many years ago. It has a set of flavours that are unique, and can fool even expert tasters in blind tastings, its cross-thatched flavours need careful navigation to decide whether it's from Cote Rotie or Canberra.
| SRP 0328 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $64 |
CLONAKILLA AT ITS BEST - JH98 - A co-fermented 94/6% blend. The hue is good, although not deep - pinotish. Tim Kirk nails it when he writes of a line of pure spice running through the bouquet and palate - I would simply add ‘and the aftertaste' because this has superb length and texture, replete with red berry flavours. Clonakilla at its best.

ALL ONE COULD WISH FOR - JH97 - Hand-picked and sorted, fermented with 28% whole bunches and 6% viognier. Apart from a hail storm in Jan, a perfect growing season. Fragrant to the point of perfumed aromas of spices, rose petals and red fruit blossom. The palate is, as ever, very complex, with spice berries sewn together in a necklace of tannins. The length is all one could wish for.

EXHILARATING - JH97 - This has class stamped all over it from the moment you first taste it, sweeping away any necessity to describe the colour or bouquet; it creates a sparkling river of dark fruits that run from the tip of the tongue through to the elegant, but oh so complex, finish and aftertaste. Exhilarating.

FAULTLESS BALANCE - JH97 - Spice, red flowers, pepper and wood smoke all appear and promptly disappear on the bouquet, reforming in a different order next time around, the ensuing palate a pond without a single ruffle. Red cherry infuses all one's senses with a constant framework of spice. The faultless balance will still be sustaining the wine 30 years hence. What value!
BEFORE DIANA MADELINE - JH95 - Classic premium Cabernet Merlot -1996- Excellent, strong purple-red colour; the bouquet shows perfectly ripened fruit woven through with sweet, cedary oak; a beautifully balanced and structured palate with classic cassis fruit and fine, lingering tannins

BEFORE DIANA MADELINE - JH98 - Classic premium Cabernet Merlot -1998 - For some years has been my pick as the best Australian cabernet merlot blend, and this vintage does nothing to change my mind. Densely coloured, the bouquet is crammed with rich cassis fruit and oak, as is the imperious palate, with layer upon layer of fruit woven through with powerful but ripe tannins
| FOG 0036 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $96 |
BEST DIANA? - JH96 - As ever, has fine but persistent tannins running from the fore-palate through to the finish; the deep and intense fruit will sustain the wine until those tannins loosen their grip. All five Bordeaux varieties present led by Cabernet Sauvignon (75%).
| MIK 0885 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $105 |
IT SHINES - JH96 - This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot was picked at precisely the point Vanya Cullen decided the grapes - and in particular the tannins - had reached optimum ripeness; a sophisticated mistral blower on a sorting table removing leaf fragments and infertile berries, and a return to a basket press, have all combined to produce an extremely refined and elegant wine that is quite different to some of the earlier Cullen Cabernet Merlots. It shines with its length, finish and aftertaste.
| SRP 0329 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $120 |
SHEER INTENSITY - JH97 - An 80/12/4/3/1% blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot; 18 months in French barriques (48% new). The bouquet is perfumed and very attractive, but doesn't prepare you for the sheer intensity of the quite beautiful palate, with gloriously juicy redcurrant and cassis cradled by fine tannins and integrated oak.
| SRP 0312 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $100 | |
| SRP 0313 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $100 |
AWESOME LENGTH - JH97 - A bright crimson 73/20/7% blend of cabernet, merlot and franc, aged for an average of 17 months in French barriques (60% new). This was Cullen's greatest wine until the arrival of the Vanya Cabernet, and remains one of Australia's greatest cabernet blends, the only real competition coming from other Margaret River blends. The bouquet is perfumed, the palate fluid and graceful, notwithstanding the intensity of its cassis et al fruits which give the wine its awesome length, fine tannins its balance.
| SRP 0370 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $117 | |
| SRP 0371 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $115 |
BRIGHTNESS & LIFE - JH96 - Hand-picked on a biodynamic flower day; whole bunch-pressed and wild-fermented in French oak and an egg, with a completely spontaneous fermentation before maturation for 7 months in French oak (30% new). It has brightness and life from the natural acidity remaining after the mlf, the fruit flavours drawn from both citrus and stone fruit inputs. Chardonnay.
| SRP 0374 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $90 | |
| SRP 0375 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $90 |
ETHEREAL - JH97 -This has an extraordinarily long finish and aftertaste, built on varietal purity. It's ethereal, a word I cannot remember often using for a cabernet. The texture, too, is exceptional, the oak absorbed into the essence of the wine.
| SRP 0431 | 1 BOTTLE | Current Bid: $62 |
DELICIOUS & STYLISH - JH97 - Still bright crimson-purple; a totally delicious and stylish Bordeaux blend; the bouquet is fragrant, the medium to full-bodied palate swoops high and low with cassis, spice, bay leaf, cedary oak and beautifully detailed tannins - and only 13.5% alcohol.

PERFECT EVOCATION - JH97 - Still holds a youthful, clear purple-crimson hue; from the Wilyabrup area, this is as near a perfect evocation of this part of Margaret River as you can find, with an all too rare purity to the cassis/blackcurrant fruit, framed by perfectly balanced and integrated French oak and fine, persistent tannins.

OAK A LA GRANGE - JH97 - 60% Barossa Valley, 40% Eden Valley grapes, open-fermented with submerged cap, matured for 15 months in new (33%) and used French hogsheads. Deeply coloured; this is at once full-bodied and elegant, not a common marriage with young red wines with decades in front of them. The flavours are all black: blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, earth and licorice. The old vines have also provided ripe tannins, the whole theme resonated with oak a la Grange.

MANDOON THE MAGICIAN - JH97 - The grapes come from a small 38yo planting of cabernet sauvignon by the State Government as part of the Research Station's experiments to ascertain the varieties best suited to the region. The Bramley Vineyard (as it was known) has been restored by Mandoon, and the old vines have given this beautifully structured and utterly pure evocation of cabernet sauvignon, blackcurrant fruit to the fore, tannins and oak lined up in magisterial support. Has cruised effortlessly over the past year, barely changed.

UNCTUOUS & SILKY JH97 - Deep colour, vibrant hue; deep and compelling levels of ripe black fruits, savoury spices and well handled toasty oak; the palate is unctuous and silky, with black and red fruits combining with silky fine-grained tannins expanding across the palate with true grace and harmony; long and luscious.

TOTAL HARMONY - JH96 - Vivid crimson hue; a complex bouquet, with a wealth of red and black fruits, spice and ironstone complexity; the medium to full bodied palate is fleshy, silky, rich and almost hedonistic in its appeal; long, languid and beautifully detailed from start to finish; excellent viticulture and winemaking in total harmony.

CONSISTENTLY OUTSTANDING - JH97 - From central and southern (the latter warmer) parts of the Adelaide Hills, hand-picked, part destemmed, part whole bunch, open-fermented with gentle plunging. The colour is bright, the bouquet full of red fruits, darker fruit notes and delicious pepper and spice nuances. These characters flow through to the medium-bodied palate of Shaw + Smith's most consistently outstanding wine, the '15 vintage making it seem so easy.

EPITOME OF ELEGANCE - JH97 - Full purple-crimson hue. An elegant Wendouree Cabernet Sauvignon, only 2yo? Oxymoron? Believe me, this is the epitome of elegance in cabernet terms, with a fluid line and mouthfeel, cassis and a hint of mint to the fore, fine-grained tannins as much on the aftertaste as the finish. A wine that progressively reveals its latent power as it is re-tasted again and again.
PERFECT REDITION - JH98 - A perfect rendition of medium-bodied shiraz, burdened neither by massive alcohol or oak, allowing the black fruits, led by blackberry and supported by hints of licorice and earth, free play. The overall texture is exceptional, the tannins smooth and supple

ESSENCE OF ELEGANT CABERNET - JH96 - This is the essence of elegant cabernet personified; the wine is an essay in redcurrant, cassis, cedar, violets and fine oak; medium bodied with abundant and super fine tannins, crunchy acidity and a long fragrant and expansive conclusion; this will stand the test of time, whilst also being good to drink now.

LONG & EXPANSIVE CONCLUSION - JH96 - Heather Jean. Deep, bright crimson; restrained and complex on the bouquet, showing cedar, red fruits, violets and licorice; the medium to full-bodied palate is pure fruited, focused, displaying an abundance of fine-grained tannins, fine acid line and a long and expansive conclusion.

SUNBURST OF BLACKCURRANT - JH96 - Bright purple-crimson; has a fragrant sunburst of blackcurrant and cassis fruit on the bouquet, the finely focused and structured palate with more of the same fruit effortlessly running through its exceptional length.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH96 - Wynns say it's Australia's most important cabernet based on volume and value of each vintage. It's a model for the flavour and structure of cool grown cabernet with the ace in the hole cards of blackcurrant fruit, firm tannins and balanced oak.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH96 - Selected from the upper branches of Wynn's Coonawarra Estate's immense tree of cabernet, benefiting from all the investment made in reviving and/or replanting parts of lesser-performing plots. This is a top class Black Label, fully deserving this price. It is plush and pliant, varietal character oozing from its blackcurrant fruit, balanced tannins and oak.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH96 - Make no mistake, this aristocratic wine is far removed from the standard varietal release. The complex, spicy black fruits of the bouquet command immediate attention, and the textured layers of flavour on the palate build on the bouquet, with black fruits, spice and oak all contributing to a very impressive wine.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH97 - A fascinating contrast to the Davis Single Vineyard; I never expected a young John Riddoch to be elegant and silky, but this is, its intense blackcurrant and cassis fruit caressing the mouth and drawing out the saliva. Less than 1% of Wynns Coonawarra cabernet goes to make this wine.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH98 - This is a top-notch Riddoch cabernet. The colour is a given, as are the depth and purity of the varietal expression, but despite its moderate alcohol, it is full-bodied, and really should be left for 10 years, then enjoyed over the next 20-30 years, its future guaranteed by its screwcap.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH97 - A potent, rich, complex, full-bodied cabernet that has a signature as indelible as that of Grange. Cassis/blackcurrant fruit, with touches of earth, tar and licorice, pours in a rush along the palate, not held up by oak or tannins, both subsumed into the fabric of the wine.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH97 - Dense, deep purple-crimson; one of the best newborn Michaels for many years; there is a beautiful fusion of fruit, oak and tannins, the wine flush with flavour, yet miraculously retaining elegance, its long-term future gold plated.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH97 - Convincing crimson-purple colour sends an early signal of a complete wine with a virtually limitless future thanks to admirable control of alcohol, starting in the vineyard and finishing in the winery. This is in turn expressed by red cherry (of itself unusual in Coonawarra), black cherry and spiced plum. The extensive new oak ageing means the wine needs a minimum of 7 years from vintage to reach a long plateau thereafter.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH96 - This is a rare full-bodied wine with finesse. The coupling comes about courtesy of the way the oak is integrated and the tannins honed, though not by any apology from the blackberry and black cherry fruit.

WYNNERS & GRINNERS - JH97 - What a wine. It's spine-tingling, thrilling and the epitome of elegance. Vivid purple with red plums and black cherries, a floral note wafting in with powdered ginger and star anise. An evenly modulated palate, extraordinary powdery tannins and an ultra-long finish. There's such depth and complexity here, and it just appears effortless.

GLORIOUS EXAMPLE - JH97 - Planted in 1946 on a sand dune in the cooler, elevated northeast of McLaren Vale. Hand-picked and sorted in the winery, the fermentation is wild. It is a glorious example of grenache picked earlier than in the past, retaining all the freshness of red cherries/berries, spices starting to build, tannins beautifully shaped
