Eisenstone’s gloriously un-Penfoldian 2023 Barossa reds
As I sit with a thick bottle of the new Eisenstone SV902 Hoffmann DV Vineyard Ebenezer Shiraz 2023 in front of me, I keep thinking about how refreshing it is to see how Barossa Shiraz has evolved. The default setting hasn't changed; this wine, and the, style is still unashamedly lush, oaky, and warmi, but we're no longer stuck with the old-school four-square, American oak-heavy styles as the only way. Close followers will know how much I like Stephen Cook's Eisenstone wines, and it was a pleasure to see Stephen on a brisk July day recently to see the ever-growing range of Barossan goodies.

The Burgundy final drop – nothing but Grand Cru and heroes
Welcome to the final instalment of 'these are all the Burgundies I've tasted recently', a collection of tasting highlights from my visit to the Grand Jours de Bourgogne 2026 (a week-long wine fair in this famed French wine region in early March). We've gone from endless Chablis through Vosne mega-wines, explored the value joys of Outer Burgundy, remembered why I love Volnay and Pommard, Meursault megastars and much more. For this post, I'm headed to the icon tier of the Burgundian wine cabinet with a collection of high-flying village and 1er Cru wines plus some ridiculous superstar Grand Cru heroes, interspersed with a few jaw-dropping disappointments.
