2015 Australia

Crittenden Estate, Drink now,

Oggi, which means “today” in Italian, is something of an annual experiment. As chief winemaker Rollo puts it, “Oggi is our opportunity to show people what we are trialling in the winery from day-to-day and year-to-year.” The 2015 Oggi is a blend of three traditional Italian varietals: Fiano, Arneis and Vermentino. Made very similarly to a red wine, with extended gross lees maturation, the wine has textural complexity and generous body. The nose, palate and finish are bursting with crisp orchard fruit, honeysuckle and beeswax. Each bottle bares a unique label, reflecting the individuality of its contents. Drink now to 2020.

2015 St Henri Shiraz Penfolds

Penfolds, For laying down,

This possesses a staggering purity of fruit. The phrase “leaps out the glass” doesn’t do justice to the way in which this dominates the senses, with a lightness of touch and elegance that I just cannot recall in previous vintages of St Henri. The palate is textured and complex, never awkward or cloying in any way. This is a very complete wine. Overall, there is a sense that this is hewn from the same material as Grange, albeit in a quieter, perhaps even more polite manner.

2015 Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay Bin 144

Penfolds, For laying down,

The name “Yattarna” comes from the Aboriginal word for “gradually” and represents Penfolds’s desire to conquer the realm of Australian Chardonnay. This is made from 100 percent Chardonnay from cool-climate regions in Tasmania and the Adelaide Hills. The wine spent eight months in French barriques (65 percent new). The nose shows hints of pear, apple and a touch of oak. Fine acidity races through the mouth with generous apple and pear flavours. The hint of new oak, as on the nose, shows itself here. It finishes long and balanced. Drink now to 2023+.

2015 Penfolds Bin 798, RWT Shiraz, Coonawarra, South Australia

Penfolds, Ready, but will improve,

RWT stands for “Red Winemaking Trial”; trialled, tested and approved, but the name has stuck. Purple with an inky core, it displays aromas of spiced plums, cardamom and peppered steak, alongside a gentle cedar note. Broad-shouldered initially, the ripe tannins disperse across the palate as flavours of blueberry, blackberry and cinnamon dance on the tongue. Complexity here is derived from French oak, while a savoury character comes across the back of the palate with a bloodied meatiness. Suave and sophisticated, the 2015 RWT is coming together nicely and I expect it to reward in its early stages of development. Drink 2019-2030+.

2015 Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz, Adelaide

Penfolds, For laying down,

A wine that is contemporary in feel and yet has deep historic roots within the story of Penfolds, the single-vineyard Magill Estate is singing this year. The nose is complex and inviting, with a melange of blackberry, damson and hints of mocha, thyme and beef fat. The palate is precise, svelte and medium-bodied. The French and American oak is absorbed beautifully into the rich fruit. Great acidity gives a moreish, tannic (filigree) bite at the end – full of spice and coffee notes. This is a rich succulent style of Shiraz, and yet with great coolness, purity and length. A wonderful expression of terroir. Drink 2021-2030+.
Stuart Rae, Commercial Manager
Dark purple. Very dense. Rich and very high toned. Sweet and with extremely high tannins. Lots of dried spices on the nose – handmade and with lots of dry integrity on the end. Very different from the Penfolds norm. Much drier and more traditional.

2015 Cullen, Diana Madeline, Margaret River, Western Australia

For laying down,

87% Cabernet Sauvignon, higher than in the past, blended in typical Bordelais style with 11% Merlot and a single percent each of Cabernet Franc and Malbec. There is a firm Cabernet driven cassis note that is immediately obvious on this great Margaret River homage to Bordeaux. Fine grained tannins frame the structure with plenty of plummy red and black fruit. There is an impressive persistence to the blackcurrant and mint edged finish. Lots to like!

2015 Penfolds Bin 311 Tumbarumba Chardonnay

Penfolds, Ready, but will keep,

Very citric on the nose, there is lots of lemon pith in particular, along with apple and lime, backed with a wet-stone note that brings Chablis to mind. Sourced from some of the highest vineyards in Australia, this goes from strength to strength with every vintage. Rounded on the palate from full malolactic fermentation in barrel (all old wood), this has a lovely saline note on the finish and cool-climate freshness. Very moreish and a rising star in the Bin series.

2015 Powell & Son, Barossa & Eden Valleys Shiraz, Barossa

Ready, but will keep,

The Barossa & Eden Valleys Shiraz epitomises the philosophy of Powell & Son: to marry the greatness of the Barossa and Eden Valleys.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Barossa & Eden Valleys Shiraz delivers expressive red currant, black cherry and crushed blackberry notes over hints of baking spices, garrigue, black pepper and lavender. Medium to full-bodied and very finely textured with silken, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, it has wonderful length and depth. Drink 2017 – 2035.

2015 Penfolds, Grange, Shiraz, Australia

Penfolds, For laying down,

Intensity is prevalent throughout this amazing wine. Deep in colour, the nose abounds with blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis. These notes give way to mocha, chocolate and plum which are lifted by some wonderfully bright and crunchy red fruits. Warming velvety textures sing through as intensity prevails in wave upon wave. There is no lack of layers and textures here, yet the wine is light on its feet and ends with an extremely long finish. Another very, very fine Penfolds Grange. Drink 2023-2040+.

2015 Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz, Coonawarra

Penfolds, Ready, but will keep,

Sourced solely from Coonawarra, this is opulent and heady on the nose, but the French oak is much more reserved than on other cuvées. It immediately reminds me of the great Syrahs of the Northern Rhône – dark, dense fruit, along with a seriously compact mid-palate, all of which point to this being very impressive in the years to come. Beneath the surface, the acidity hums away keeping everything in check. The finish is fine, persistent and mouthcoating. For me, this is the dark horse and the value pick of the 2017 releases. Drink 2019-2030.

2015 Powell & Son, Barossa Valley Shiraz, South Australia

Ready, but will keep,

The Barossa Valley Shiraz is sourced from mature Barossa Valley vineyards (20+ years old) with the majority located along the region’s North-Western ridge in Marananga and Seppeltsfield as well as Lyndoch Valley in the Southern Barossa.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Barossa Valley Shiraz reveals pronounced blackberry, dark chocolate and black currant notes over hints of black earth, charcoal, licorice and a hint of violets. Profoundly rich and concentrated on the full-bodied palate, it has some delicious savory/olive tapenade notes emerging, supported by firm, ripe tannins and finishing with great length.

2015 Powell & Son Loechel Eden Valley Shiraz, South Australia

Ready, but will keep,

The Loechel Eden Valley Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard at the Southern tip of the Eden Valley township. It was planted half a century ago by the Loechel family to sandy loam and areas of quartz and gravel, over weathered mica-schist and at 400 metres altitude.

Coming from the western section of a single vineyard in Eden Valley, the 2015 Loechel Shiraz from Eden Valley has a deep garnet-purple color and a gorgeous floral nose of roses and violets, with a whole array of baking spice-laced red and black fruit preserves emerging, plus some hints of cedar and chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is youthfully taut, firm and muscular, possessing a solid structure of grainy tannins and lively acidity, finishing with those glorious baking spice layers coming through. 300 cases were made. Drink 2018 – 2038.

2015 Struie, Torbreck Vintners, Barossa Valley, Australia

Ready, but will improve,

The Struie is a blend of 46-year-old Eden Valley Shiraz vines and 82-year-old Barossa Shiraz, the former giving lift and acidity, the latter richness and weight.

A combination of Shiraz fruit from parcels in the Eden and Barossa Valleys, the Struie is a more forward drinking style which demonstrates the respective characteristics of its origins. Attractive blue fruit aromas on the nose with complementing sweet spice notes and hint of graphite. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of blackberry and sloes, backed by a little power and meaty richness from the Barossa fruit. A layer of blueberry and mulberry flavours come through towards the finish with a rolling freshness and flicks of mint. Neatly framed with ripe tannins and a velvety texture, this is finely balanced and will drink well from 2018 – 2026.

2015 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon

Penfolds, Ready, but will improve,

This is immediately Cabernet on the nose, with herbal notes of capsicum and fennel offset by rich blackcurrant and juniper berry. There’s a floral character as well, with crushed violets and hawthorn. Silky and finely textured, the palate moves gently around a core of cool blackcurrants, fleshed out with a sweet earthiness. Very tasty on the palate, this is well-managed and the components really work together. Assertive with a fine acidity, this has a lovely texture and finishes with moreish black fruit. One of the finest releases of Bin 407 I can recall with lots to offer. Drink 2018-2028.

2015 Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz

Penfolds, For laying down,

This has a classic 389 nose – black fig, blackcurrant, mint, anise, buttered toast and black pepper. There’s excellent balance between the Cabernet and Shiraz – neither overwhelms the other. The silky structure comes courtesy of the Cabernet, while there is plenty of flesh on the bones from the Shiraz. There is a long black-fruited finish. This year definitely lives up to the “baby Grange” moniker and it is no surprise that this is collected for future enjoyment year in, year out. Drink 2022-2030+.
