Domaine de Chevalier Rouge 2019
Domaine de Chevalier is one of Pessac-Léognan's most exceptional estates, and the 2019 is a reminder of exactly why it commands such fierce loyalty among those who know Bordeaux beyond the headline châteaux. This is a wine built on Cabernet Sauvignon's structural backbone, with Merlot lending flesh and Petit Verdot adding a violet-edged intensity. The tannins are firm and linear right now — this is not a wine to crack open without ceremony in 2026 — but they carry genuine finesse rather than brute force, and the acidity keeps everything alive and focused through a long, perfumed finish. William Kelley called it a masterclass in contemporary Bordeaux, and we're not arguing. Give it until at least 2029, and ideally 2030 onwards, and you'll be rewarded with something rather special.
Mollydooker Enchanted Path Shiraz Cabernet 2021
This wine celebrates Mollydooker's journey in life and their partnership in winemaking. Just as they use their separate abilities to enhance their winemaking, they blend the separate characters of these two classic varieties to create a wine that is powerful, opulent, elegant and seamless. The 2017 Enchanted Path displays an inky deep colour with dense hues. The journey begins with fragrant bright red fruit on the nose, followed by deeper tones of blackberry and plum jam on the palate. Well guided by precise tannins, these flavours will fully entertain your senses, giving the wine phenomenal length. The captivating interplay between the Shiraz and Cabernet provides a sophisticated mix of plum and mocha, walking beside raspberry and clove. The 2017 Enchanted Path exercises both elegance and complexity with a well-balanced finish. When you join the Enchanted Path and the Carnival of Love together, the two labels form one beautiful continuous love story. The grapes were grown on the Gateway and Prime vineyards in McLaren Vale. Barrel fermented and matured in 97% American and 3% French oak using 85% new and 15% one year old barrels.
