Max Allen's Best Case Scenario

This list included some spectacular wines from all over the World, but the Aussie inclusions are truly great wines. The 2000 House of Arras, EJ Carr Late Disgorged can be compared favorably with “Krug” Champagne. This wine is truly magnificent and testament to the potential of Tasmania as Australia’s Sparkling Wine Territory.

The 2004 Penfolds Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon Plants on the planet. Due to the Australian trellis system, which is a result of our predominately hot and slightly humid climate, vines in Australia are planted well apart and to a higher trellis with a deeper root system to anywhere else in the world, so it’s only in Australia where you will find 100 + year old vines. This wine will cellar for decades like Grange. The ‘old wines’ tag is uniquely Australian and with professional wine making and viticulture, excellent results are produced. Keep an eye open for “old vines,” on a label.
