Wine Front: We're late to come to this - the 2007 may even have been released? - but now that I don't live in Melbourne it can be difficult to get ahold of a Craiglee. I've had this relea...

Wine Spectator: Smooth and refined, this is rich with cherry, smoke and spice flavors that push through a veil of scratchy tannins and linger on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2018. -HS

Wine Front: Lovely combination of flavours here. Pears, sweet and savoury. Nectarines. Oak spice. A slip of lactose. Maybe even some brine. Green-ish acids through the finish, but in a pl...
