Airlie Bank Yarra Valley Franc 2018

'Blackcurrant, ripe raspberry, ash and lots of spice, sweet capsicum. Light bodied, but good intensity of small berried fruits, sappy green and spicy things are punctuation marks here, rather than text, acidity is fresh and slaty, tannin forms a fine dust, and the finish is cool and fresh. Great thing to drink.'

Albino Rocca Barbaresco 2014

"A bargain...The 2014 Barbaresco opens with lovely aromatics. Sweet tobacco, licorice, smoke, mint and dried herbs give the wine its distinctive perfume and add nuance to a palette of dark-hued Nebbiolo fruit. Time in the glass works wonders to bring out the wine's freshness. This is a terrific introduction to the Albino Rocca Barbarescos." 89 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
