James Halliday "Good hue, although not deep; a deceptive wine, because neither the colour or the bouquet signal the fresh, intense and fiercely focused palate, in turn built on the foundation of the persistent tannins."

James Halliday "Machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, pressed to French oak (25% new, the balance with staves) for 14 months. Bright hue; has some of the complexity of its Atticus sibling, with black cherry, spice and licorice underwritten by the freshness given by modest alcohol. Delivers the goods." (2014 vintage)

James Halliday "Machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, pressed to French oak (25% new, the balance with staves) for 14 months. The excellent retention of primary crimson colour is a reflection of the lively, juicy red fruits on its medium-bodied palate, the French oak little more than lift music. It cries out to be drunk asap." (2011 vintage)

Huon Hooke "Medium deep red, some purple. Strange chocolate and raspberry nose; suspect a little sulfide here, plus some jam. Not a fine or elegant bouquet. Palate is at least soft, mellow and balanced, without excess alcohol, tannin or oak. Raspberry jam/DMS/Ribena. Slightly bizarre, sweaty/funky. Falls away a touch to a soft finish; certainly has drinkability." (2004 vintage)

James Halliday "Bright cherry red; reminiscent of spiced liquer cherries, showing a distinct clove aroma to the bouquet; medium-bodies with plenty of red fruit supported by understated oak usgage; the tannins are fine and quite silky, and compliment the fruit with style."

Sturban Wines "Luminescent cherry, hints of clove, dark fruit, elegant tannin structure from 18 months in French oak 40% being new and it is a complete wine, deserved of its status and is drinking well now, with nearly 10 years of age."

Tasting Notes: From a warm vintage the depth of fruit flavour is obvious. Beautiful perfumes on the nose with cloves and red berry characters. The finish is long and balanced with dusty tannins to round out the experience.

James Halliday "A very successful venture under the control of CEO Ron Fraser. The wines come from the estate vineyards planted to chardonnay, Semillon, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.....[The winery's] ultra-premium wines are under the Atticus label."

Atticus is owned by Chapman Grove Wines; a small winery focussed on making limited edition fine wines from Margaret River, Western Australia. Described by Australia's N#1 wine critic, James Halliday as "a very successful venture", the winery is known for its highly rated wines and was established in 2005 by an esteemed veteran of the industry, Ron Fraser. Pop Up Wine has secured back vintages of a collection of its highly rated wines.

Atticus utilises exceptional fruit which is all 100% estate grown to create its world-class wines. Its range includes varieties most suited to the Margaret River climate, with French oak used to bring out flavours of the terroir, creating a true expression of the region.

The winery achieved the highly coveted 5 Red Star rating from James Halliday within three short years of first entering the Wine Companion in 2009. Since the the estate's first release in 2006, its wines have been awarded 4 Trophies, 3 Top Gold, 3 Gold, 8 Silver and 39 Bronze medals.

Margaret River is one of the best known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined cabernet sauvignon and intensely citrusy chardonnay varieties, the region now produces semillon sauvignon blanc blends and shiraz.

Located in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to
the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.

1 x Luc Baudet Cotes du Rhone Rive Droite Red 2018 - Rhone, France

90/100 Jeb Dunnuck

The Winemaker “One of the finest expressions of Grenache in the region. Notes of red fruits jam, and flower petals, with a touch of sweet cherry. A full volume on the palate, and a soft finish.”

Luc Baudet, renowned winemaker and oenologue from Costières de Nîmes, lauched this new range of wines in 2016. After putting Château Mas Neuf on the wine map as one of the very best Costières de Nîmes, Luc Baudet decided to start a new challenge. When he sold Château Mas Neuf, he kept 7 hectares of the most promising terroir of the estate, and named it "Le Clos des Centenaires", it is at the heart of Luc's new adventure, who also collaborates with winemakers of other appellations to create a range of signature wines.

The Rhone Valley is one of France's key wine regions and is divided neatly by a gap of about 25 miles (40km). Wines from the northern part of the valley tend to be Syrah-dominant (Hermitage and Cote Rotie being the most notable examples), white wines from the southern Rhone are more commonly blends, with Grenache playing a more dominant role. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous example of a southern Rhone blend, but similar blends are found in wines from Gigondas, Vacqueyras and the regional Cotes du Rhone title.

Grenache is responsible for some of the most expensive wine in the world From regions like Châteauneuf-du-Pape to cult California wines, Grenache is just as important in the wine world as Cabernet Sauvignon. The Southern Rhône region in France is known for Grenache-based wines. The region’s wine varies year-to-year based on the vintage variation. Along with cherry fruit expect more smoky herbal notes including oregano, lavender, and tobacco.
