Chatto Seven Inch Pinot Noir 2025
The bottle of pinot noir you always hope to encounter: frisky and sure-footed, nervy and composed, fruit and mineral in balance. A ripping Tasmanian release. 95 points.
Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2025
So good you want to dive in and swim for the horizon. Plums, redcurrant, orange rind, licorice and ozone in a McLaren Vale grenache that Skye Salter and Charlie Seppelt should be proud of. 96 points.

Campbell Mattinson calls Garagiste Le Stagiaire Pinot Noir 2025, from the Mornington Peninsula, "a definite buy".

Flinty and flat-out good: white peach, lactose, pear and struck match charging through a palate that's powerful without being heavy, and sensationally long. Top-quality Lenswood chardonnay, 96 points.
