85 points - Solid bright gold. Nose a little chemical lemon and hay. Faint kerosene flat notes in palate. Lean and a bit thin but concentrated. Finish is crisp and a little lime pastry like. Improves with time

2002 Falls Wines Classic Semillon

2010-03-10T07:43:07Z

88 points - Rich gold with still a slight hint of green. Nose is fresh citrusy and minerally with also something that reminds me of Brie. Palate is slightly turpentine, lemon notes a little more developed and yet a bit in the background. Palate seems a bit reductive a bit suppressed. Finish still maintains an inoffensive freshness zing and oak.

2006 Hamiltons Bluff Dolce Nero

2009-05-25T14:00:00Z

90 points - A first for the Australian Wine Industry. A Dessert Style Sangiovese, a Red Sticky. Insanely ripe fruit fermented to 10% alc. Masses of residual sugar ballanced by veneer of fine grain tannin. Well worth a try

2003 Hamiltons Bluff Reserve Chardonnay

2009-05-25T14:00:00Z

85 points - Great fruit, sublime use of new French oak. Irregular ageing due to winemaking process. Not oxidised bottles are drinking very well

2005 Hamiltons Bluff Sangiovese

2009-05-25T14:00:00Z

95 points - Won equal top Gold at the Alternative Varieties Wine Show in Mildura. Only three Golds awarded to Sangiovese in this show and Hamiltons Bluff won two of them (see '07 Sangiovese). More subtle, slightly more 'Italian' than the '04, still a big rendition of Australian Sangiovese

2007 Hamiltons Bluff Sangiovese

2009-05-25T14:00:00Z

90 points - First outing for new winemaker Chris Derez. Chris has crafted a standout Sangiovese using a hint of Merlot for the first time. Refined and elegant. Drinks very well now, looking forward to its future.
