Olivia Wong — Best wine I've ever had, full stop

10/10

My mate brought this to a dinner party and I honestly didn't want to share it. The structure is insane — really firm tannins but silky smooth at the same time. Every sip I was picking up something new, earthy spice, minerals, layers of dark fruit. I'm still thinking about it three weeks later.

Rafael Santos — Very good but I expected more

7/10

The wine shop guy talked me into this as a step up from my usual Burgundy. It's lovely, don't get me wrong — clean acidity, nice dark cherry flavours, long finish. But at this price point I was expecting to be completely blown away and I wasn't quite there. Maybe I need to cellar the other bottle a few more years.

Adaobi Eze — Opened up beautifully over dinner

9/10

Treated myself for my 50th birthday. First pour was already great — violets and dark fruit jumping out of the glass. But an hour later it was on another level, all this earthy spice complexity came through. The finish just lingers and lingers. Cathiard knows what he's doing.
