James Suckling (95)

Salted plums, iodine, seaweed and smoked meat on the nose. It’s briny, meaty and deliciously saline, with a full body and wide, ripe tannins. So attractive. Produced only in magnum bottles.

Jeb Dunnuck (98)

The ultimate party wine; show up with this and the world will be your oyster. Supple and approachable in a medium-bodied Northern Rhône kind of way, it shines in dense black fruit and bacon fat, ready to be enjoyed now and for another 10-15 years.

Number #16

Owen Bargreen (99)

A stunning wine from the ’22 vintage, the mag-only ‘Wallah Walla Special #16’ Syrah comes from a range of vineyards that were blended together to make this very special wine. Stored in a small amount of new French oak barrels, this offers seaweed, wet rock and boysenberry cordial on the nose alongside bright black florals. The palate is rich and vicious considering the coolness of the vintage. This is very stony, with loads of non-fruit in terms of its Umami and seaweed character. Round and generous, with serious mouth-watering acidity, this still has a long way to go in the bottle. If enjoying now, give this 30 plus minutes in the decanter prior to enjoying.
