Scores
96 / 100"Cordon Cut is one of my favourite Australian dessert wines, and Stephanie Toole has beautifully captured the cool and elegant 2024 harvest in her latest release. I love its precision and purity, perfectly capturing a wide kaleidoscope of fruit from lemon and lime to peach and nectarine and the exoticism of apricot and persimmon. Zest and flesh contrast perfectly on a finish of perfectly balanced sweetness and racy, cool season acidity. One of the true greats!"

"This classic sweet wine of Mount Horrocks is powerful, deeply scented and flavoured. Lots of creme brûlée, toffee apple, sugared almonds, mandarin marmalade and cumquat freshness. A bit of truffle and white mushroom in there, too. Layers and slickness in texture, though the finish finds a brightness underlying. Decadent, but very well balanced. Top notch.
