2012 Pinot Gris Reserve
Gustave Lorentz
Alsace, France
$30.00
Silver Medal
Straw coloured with medium-light intensity. Aromas of white flowers, peach and minerality on the nose. Well balanced. The flavours follow the nose with a medium-long finish.

Garnet red in colour with medium intensity. Simple fruit aromas, mostly cherry with a hint of tar. Good balance with medium body and firm tannins. Pleasing fruit on the palate followed by a warm medium finish.
2009 Nebbiolo
Masolino

$76.00
Bronze Medal
Garnet red/brick in colour with medium-deep intensity. Stewed cherries, earth and leather notes on the nose. Good balance with a slightly sweet entry and firm tannins. Pleasing fruit on the palate followed by a medium finish. I’d let this one age for another 5-10 years so it can show its potential.
2007 Nebbiolo
Martinenga
Barbaresco, Italy
$95.00
Silver Medal
Age has helped this wine develop some complexity. Garnet brick in colour with medium-deep intensity. The nose shows aromas of dried red fruit, tar, leather, soy and sweet spice. Well balanced with firm tannins. The flavours echo the nose with a medium plus finish. This wine will continue to improve for another 5-8 years easily.
