"A juicy and open Brunello with lovely purity of fruit. Medium-bodied with aromas of plums, sour cherries, chocolate orange and cardamom spice. Silky tannins and a rounded, tasty finish. Drink or hold."

"Pretty notes of crushed stones and black fruit with dried citrus. Medium body. Firm tannins and a fresh and fruity finish. Bright. Some gunpowder. Finesse and firmness at the end. Drink or hold."

"Brilliant wine, here. The 2020 1000 Crowns Cabernet Sauvignon has concentrated berries and spice wedged into the folds of tannin that fill the mouth. 2020 was a vintage that produced wines just like this, and all in all, it was a fantastic vintage in Margaret River. This is a good example of what was possible across the board in the region, and it will age very well. Impressive wine."

"An open and fragrant Brunello with raspberries, sour cherries, earth, hints of nori, cloves, cumin and peach stones on the nose. Full-bodied with firm yet velvety tannins. Polished oak spice beautifully complementing the fruit. Try from 2023."

"Podere La Vigna found a lovely balance from the vintage. Uniquely spicy and exotic from the first tilt of the glass, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino opens up with notes of white pepper, rose petals, crushed rocks and dried black cherry. It’s rich and supple on the palate, with a balsamic tinge to its dark red berries and sweet inner herbal tones. The 2018 finishes structured, yet not achingly so, with a pleasant inner sweetness and a minty freshness that lingers incredibly long."

97 James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion

Bottle 3667 of 733 dozen. Brambly cassis pastille, pomegranate and ripe summer raspberry. This is supple, bouncy, beautiful and long, with elegance and harmony to spare. Glorious expression of cabernet from a cool and aromatic year.

"This is a gorgeous, classy wine. A traditional Bordeaux blend with the intention that there will usually be five varieties in the mix but for this vintage, the team did not believe that the Merlot reached the high standards they demand. Consequently, it is a blend of four grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, all sourced from their ‘Wills Domain’ Vineyard in Yallingup. The Petit Verdot stood out so much this vintage that it plays a more dominant role than expected.

A deep red with notes of spices, red fruits, tobacco leaf, cassis, leather and more on the nose. There is lovely balance and obvious elegance. This is a wine with serious length, and silky, but abundant tannins at the end. Vibrant in style, there is so much to love. This wine is surely a ten-year proposition. Great stuff."

94-95 Tom Mullen - Forbes Magazine

78/22 Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend. Bourbon biscuits and mint crisp aromas, as well as plumbs, blackberries and a hint of mandarin acidity. This second wine could be mistaken as a first from many other châteaux. In the mouth, deep black fruit, succulent acidity, well balanced with generous flavors of After Eight mints, treacle and raspberries.

A ripe, dark chocolate flavored wine, this is rich with juicy Merlot flavors. Its density and black plum skin textures are enhanced by the depth the wine, its concentration. Drink from 2025.
