Nannup Estate Firetower SMT 2022
  I recently received a few wines from the Blackwood Valley's Nannup Estate as I explore the district from the comfort of my east coast abode. Two wines down from this producer and they've delivered two rippers. This Shiraz Malbec Tempranillo nails the brief for great drinking. No information was received about the percentages in the blend, but that almost seems irrelevant when the going is good and the delish factor is high. Crushed purple petals set the tone. It's a wine with a rustic presence but polished with bevelled edges. Plums, mulberries and blueberries offer plenty of interest and depth with black earth and a notable minerally vibe. A faint eucalyptus note raises its hand with a neat dusting of dark chocolate crumb. Tense tannins soften over a couple of days. Built for food, it will take down some robust protein with ease. A terrific blend and rock-solid example of pleasure all for 28 bucks. 92/100 Region:  Blackwood Valley  RRP:  $28 Source: Sample Winery

Nannup Estate Rolling Hills Malbec 2022
  Smart drinking. A Malbec with great fruit and shape, find me a cozy place on a cold night and a generous glass. Plush plummy fruit leads the way with ripe mulberries and hints of blueberries framing the edges adding lift. Beneath the fruit lies an earthy core threaded with fruit bun spices that cling to a persistent finish. Dusty and cocoa tannins are tense and add some chew. Thoroughly enjoyable, this is great stuff. 92/100 Region:  Blackwood Valley  RRP:  $38 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to   Qwine here Follow:  Instagram ,  LinkedIn  and  X

Auchentoshan / Glen Keith (TWA & East Village Whisky)
The Whisky Agency ( founded 2008 ) teamed up with East Village Whisky Company ( founded 2018 ) to celebrate their anniversary. I reckon we're talking about Carsten and Peter's personal anniversaries then. I'm terrible at guessing ages but I think they could be the same age indeed. They selected two bottlings, both similar to previous TWA releases.  Auchentoshan 25 yo 1999 (50,6%, The Whisky Agency 'Birthdays United' for East Village Whisky Co 2025, barrel, 120 btl.) Nose: forthcoming, with lots of yellow fruits. Peaches, some lime, later also mango and a bit of honey roundness. Drops of tropical fruit syrup. Then subtle hints of beehive notes and sunflower oil, along with dandelions and powdered sugar. Light vanilla. Much better than your typical Auchentoshan, ha! Mouth: more oranges, or rather tangerines, with mangoes. It gets more zesty after that, with candied grapefruit, some gingery notes and a greener, light bitter edge. Subtle gin botanicals. Then green malty notes, a light

Sclavia - Terre del Volturno IGP "Granito" 2024
di Carlo Macchi Casavecchia! Chi lo conosce alzi la mano e nel Casertano la alzeranno tutti. Uva rossa tannica che la DOC ha inutilmente appesantito con due anni di legno.  Ma Sclavia ha trovato la soluzione: niente legno, freschezza aromatica, tannino vivace, corpo dinamico, piacevolissimo. L’Epifania del Casavecchia.
