Released after 10 years in the cellar, it's drinking beautifully now showing all the best characters of aged Aussie Riesling - candied lime peel, waxy lily petal florals, fresh sourdough & butter.

Jim Barry St Clare Cabernet Malbec 2016

"Made from the two red grape varieties I think the Clare Valley does best. I love a wine where it takes me only a couple of seconds to form an opinion. This was love at first sight, or sip. Red and black berries, mint and leaf, a violet perfume, tobacco and all that, but it's the dense, yet light palate that pulls you in. It's packed with tannin, feels fine in the acid department, has this inky ferrous thing going … more
