2013 Domaine Jean Louis Chave, Hermitage, Rouge 1x75cl
"Still in barrel at the time of this tasting, the 2013 Hermitage will certainly be one of the wines of the vintage. Offering classic, granite-induced notes of smoked dark fruits, graphite, searing... minerality and bouquet garni, this sensational Hermitage has medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful mid-palate density and building tannin, all with the freshness and purity of the vintage. Reminiscent of a more backwards, tight, focused and granite-driven year (I asked Jean-Louis if there was a similar vintage he could recall, he commented that he couldn't think of one), it has solid ripeness in its aromas and flavors, good sweetness in its tannin, and a great finish. I suspect it will need 7-8 years of cellaring and keep for 20-25 years or more." 94-97 pts., Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com

2015 Tyrrells, Semillon Vat 1, Hunter Valley 1x75cl
"Limpid yellow-gold. Grapefruit pith, Meyer lemon, pear skin, honeysuckle and a hint of beeswax on the incisive nose. Chewy and deeply concentrated but lithe as well, offering palate-staining citrus... and orchard fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of chamomile, green tea, chalky minerals and botanical herbs. Shows superb definition and citrus-fruit-driven lift on the finish, which hangs on with serious tenacity."
