CHAMPAGNE

CHAMPAGNEBILLECART-SALMONStill family run, the small house of Billecart-Salmon offers a range of black-grape-dominated Champagnes with bright, complex fruit flavours resulting from a long, slow, cool fermentation process. Particularly well known for its elegant Rosé, Billecart-Salmon is a Champagne house for wine lovers: many who discover it drink few other Champagnes thereafter.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Vintage 2007/8 €54.00

Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé NV €51.00

BOLLINGERBollinger has been making classic, Pinot-dominated Champagnes with great ageing potential and complexity since 1829. The house style is deliberately oxidative with much of the wine (all of the vintage and reserve wines, and a high proportion of Special Cuvée) being fermented in old oak barrels, resulting in rich toast, apple and spice flavours. A proportion of the reserve wines are aged in magnums under cork keeping the aromas and flavours fresh and helping to make Special Cuvée one of the most complex Non-Vintage Champagnes around.

ARMAND DE BRIGNACArmand de Brignac is a range of prestige cuvée Champagnes produced since 2006 by the Cattier family who have been making wine for over 250 years. Colloquially know as ‘Ace of Spades’ after the label design on the distinctive metal-covered bottles, this Champagne is a blend of 3 different vintages. It is soft and fruity in style with added complexity from the dosage, the base wine for which is aged for one year in new French oak.

One of the most northern wine producing regions in the world, Champagne is located 90 miles north-east of Paris with 34,000 hectares of vines. Surrounding the Champagne hubs of Epernay and Reims, the

region produces around a million bottles of Champagne a day.

A technique said to have been invented by Dom Pérignon in 1688, Champagne is made using the traditional

method whereby a second fermentation is induced in the bottle, producing CO2 which becomes trapped,

resulting in a sparkling wine. Champagne style wines are now replicated all over the world.

These premium wines are usually made from a blend of grapes: Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance; the red

grapes, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for body and backbone.

Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé

NV

93ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Pale yet intense pink in color, the Billecart-Salmon NV Brut Rosé is pure,

fresh and intense on the nose, with lovely raspberry aromas, refreshing

citrus zest flavors and great definition. On the palate this is a pure, light and

vinous rosé with great finesse and a long, well-structured and even juicy

finish. Fabulous.”

Bollinger La Grande Année

2007

94+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The wine displays a very clear, fine and complex bouquet of ripe (apricot)

fruits and pink grapefruit along with chalky, toasty and almond/nougat

notes. Highly elegant, fine and pure but complex on the palate, this is a

full-bodied and well-structured Grande Année with a long, intense yet dry,

salty, beautifully clear and cleansing finish with lingering citrus flavors and a

persistent mineral structure.”

CHAMPAGNECHAMPAGNE

LAURENT-PERRIERChardonnay forms the core of most of Laurent-Perrier’s cuvées giving the wines a fresh, elegant style. The exception to this is their Cuvée Rosé, for which the house is best known. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it is unusual in that it is made by the tricky ‘saignée’ method. This is the technique by which the pink colour is obtained through maceration of the skins rather than the addition of red wine (the way most rosé Champagnes are made) and gives Laurent-Perrier Rosé its remarkable flavour.

MOET & CHANDONCreating a true slice of Champagne, Moët & Chandon brings the characteristics of all three varieties, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, into their blends. The wines are vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel and undergo malolactic fermentation, giving them a soft, light, approachable style with a universal appeal that has made Moët & Chandon the world’s most popular Champagne.

PERRIER-JOUETPerrier-Jouët is a prestigious Epernay-based producer, famous for its cuvée Belle Epoque, instantly recognisable by its distinctive anemone-adorned bottle. Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Cramant and Avize have the biggest influence on the house style which is one of lightness, elegance and finesse, featuring floral aromas and a delicate creaminess.

LOUIS ROEDERERMost famous for their prestige cuvée Cristal which was first created in 1876 for the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, the house of Louis Roederer is known for the sheer quality and style of their wines across the range. Roederer is the largest owner of organically-farmed (and increasingly, biodynamically-farmed) vineyards in Champagne. The wines are distinguished by their superb balance, finesse and elegance and their fine, creamy mousse.

Food pairing suggestion The ideal aperitif, or delicious served with oysters, grilled fish or fresh radishes served with salt.

DOM PERIGNONDom Pérignon, owned by Moët & Chandon, is an exclusively vintage prestige cuvée Champagne. It is made from roughly equal quantities (varying slightly according to the vintage) of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grown only in the best vineyard sites in Champagne. During production, the wine sees no oak and is protected from oxidation as much as possible making it one of Champagne’s most reductive, minerally styles with an overarching elegance, harmony and completeness. It is one of the most classic, famous, and eye-catching of all wines and consistently tastes as good as its reputation suggests it will.

CHARLES HEIDSIECKCharles Heidsieck founded his eponymous Champagne house in 1851 at the age of 29. He is credited with popularising Champagne in the United States where he became hugely popular and earned the nickname ‘Champagne Charlie’. The consistent high quality of the wines means their range is one of the most frequently awarded in Champagne.

Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve NV €39.00

HENRIOTFounded in 1808, Henriot is one of the few remaining independent Champagne houses having been owned and managed by the same family for more than eight generations. The Chardonnay-dominant wines are fresh and elegant with a rich, toasty character from extended ageing on the lees (twice the legal requirement) and are exceptional value for money.

KRUGKrug is the only Champagne house to have created a prestige cuvée every year since it was founded in 1843. The house’s flagship wine, Grande Cuvée, typically contains 35-50% reserve wines chosen from an extensive library of 150 different wines across more than 10 vintages. With fermentation in neutral oak barrels and ageing on the lees well beyond the legal minimum, the wines have incredible depth, richness and complexity and a unique personality all of their own.

Dom Pérignon2008

98+ptsVinous

“Lemon peel, white flowers, mint and white pepper give the 2008 its

chiseled, bright profile. Several recent bottles have all been magnificent.

What I admire most about the 2008 is the way it shows all the focus,

translucence and energy that is such a signature of the year, and yet it is also

remarkably deep and vertical. In other words, the 2008 is a Champagne that

plays in three dimensions.”

Henriot Brut Millésimé

2006

93ptsWine Spectator

“Seamlessly knit, with vibrant, citrusy acidity and a satiny, creamy mousse layered with poached peach, pastry

cream, mineral and crushed hazelnut flavors that expand through the

midpalate and the zesty, spiced finish.”

Krug Vintage2002

97+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Opens with a generous, intense yet fine and precise bouquet that

indicates great depth and elegance. Red fruit flavors on the nose lead

to a generously rich yet pure, highly refined and elegant palate, with lots of

ripe cherry fruits and delicious yeasty flavors. This is a highly complex and tensioned but beautifully balanced

2002 with a charming dosage that gives perfect roundness.”

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle

NV

92ptsWine Spectator

“A sweet and subtle note of smoky toasted brioche underscores

the baked melon, kumquat and ground ginger flavors of this vibrant

Champagne, with a fine, lively mousse.”

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage

2009

94ptsWine Spectator

“A sleek, creamy Champagne, with an expressive range of toast, apricot,

candied Meyer lemon zest, cassis and pastry cream set in a tightly knit and

racy frame. This offers personality now, but the focus and concentration

recommends it to the cellar as well.”

Louis Roederer Cristal

2008

97+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The 2008 Cristal opens bright, super clear, fresh and pure on the exciting,

absolutely fascinating nose with its fine, complex and elegant bouquet

of gorgeously ripe and matured fruits, brioche and chalk expressions.

This is the finest you can get from Champagne. The palate is pure, lean, fresh and filigreed but concentrated,

highly complex, full of tension and enormously vibrant.”

CHAMPAGNE SPARKLING

RUINARTRuinart is Champagne’s oldest house, with a history dating back to 1729. The Chardonnay grape is at the heart of all Ruinart’s wines giving them freshness and bright fruit aromas. The wines, vinified non-oxidatively in stainless steel, have a minerally character in youth, developing toasty, smoky characteristics with bottle age.

SALONSalon is a tiny house producing what connoisseurs consider to be the quintessential Blanc de Blancs. In minuscule amounts (30,000 bottles a year, if at all) from over 35-year-old vines in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (one of the greatest crus of the Côte des Blancs), Salon releases on average only about 3 times a decade.

TAITTINGERIn a beautiful twist on the norm, the Taittinger family bought back the Champagne House that bears their name from the demerger of a giant multinational in 2006, and the wines - always good - have been on fine form ever since. The house style is one of elegance and clarity of fruit with a creamy texture.

Sparkling wine is arguably the most technical style of wine in the world. Not only do these wines have to undergo a first fermentation in order to make alcohol, but also a second

fermentation to produce the carbon dioxide giving the wine its fizz. This is done either in the same way as Champagne, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, or by using

the tank method where it takes place inside a sealed tank.

Produced all around the world, sparkling wine comes in a huge range of styles, from bone dry to

perfumed and floral.

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs

2006

97+ptsVinous

“The 2006 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut is simply fabulous. In most

vintages, Dom Ruinart is a big, ample Champagne that shows the structure

of the Montagne de Reims Chardonnay in the blend. The 2006 has plenty of

textural resonance and richness, and yet I am also struck by its tension.”

Taittinger Comtes de

2006

95ptsWine Spectator

“Saffron and smoke notes waft from the glass of this rich and creamy rosé

Champagne. The finely detailed bead carries flavors of baked strawberry,

candied orange zest, toasted brioche and pastry cream, while the firm

backbone of acidity imparts focus through to the lasting finish.”

Ca’del Bosco Franciacorta

Cuvée PrestigeNV

91ptsThe Wine Advocate

“This is among Ca’ del Bosco’s most affordable and accessible sparkling

wines. It offers steady consistency year after year. I’ve always loved

the bouquet of this wine. It shows a slightly spicy side that reminds me of

Christmas oranges nailed with cloves. In the mouth, the wine is lean and

crisp with fine and persistent perlage.”

Bisol Crede Prosecco di

Valdobbiadene BrutNV

90ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A delightfully sharp and delineated wine with crisp citrus notes followed by white peach, Granny Smith apple

and tangy lime. The wine refreshes the palate just as soon as you take your first sip. The mouthfeel is lean and streamlined, with lots of spicy

bubbling on the close. You get tremendous value here.”

Rosé is produced in a variety of styles around the world, although perhaps the best known are those from Provence. Not only is this France’s oldest wine region, having been making wine for over 2,600 years, but it is also the only one to focus on rosé.

It even has a research institute dedicated to the style. Dry, crisp and refreshing, these wines are a blend of regional varieties such as Grenache,

Carignan and Syrah.

90ptsThe Wine Advocate

“I was impressed by both of the La Mascaronne wines I tried, especially

the Fazioli red. The 2017 Cotes de Provence Rose Quat’Saisons is also a

fine effort, balancing ripe notions of peach and melon and a plump mid-

palate with a crisp pineapple-zesty citrus finish.”

Château d’Esclans Garrus Rosé

2016

94ptsVinous

“Rich yet almost shockingly lithe in character, delivering strong, mineral-

driven finishing cut and a lingering suggestion of candied flowers. This

wine really transcends the category of pink wine and it resembles a serious

white Burgundy, perhaps a Meursault, in terms of body and texture.”

Domaines Ott Rosé2017

93ptsVinous

“A complex bouquet displays ripe, mineral-accented red berries, citrus

fruits, nectarine and pungent flowers, along with a subtle and exotic touch

of honey. Offers palate-coating strawberry liqueur, blood orange

and lavender flavors that unfold and deepen steadily on the back half.

The pit fruit quality sneaks back in on an impressively long, penetrating

finish that shows excellent clarity and powerful mineral thrust.”

“A” Rosato Aldobrandesca

Antinori2016

90ptsVinous

“Bright dark pink. Lovely, with very delicate aromas and flavors of spicy red berries, quinine, cinnamon and

violet. Fresh, juicy and smooth, with a lively long finish and a very clean,

slightly tannic mouthfeel. This is a brand new wine from Antinori, that

is made with Aleatico, the lovely aromatic red grape that is very much

at home on the Tuscan coast.”

France produces 7-8 billion bottles of wine every year, second only to Italy in terms of volume. A key part of French culture, with 27 billion hectolitres being drunk in France

annually, wine is produced throughout the country in every style.

France’s long-standing wine heritage gave birth to the appellation system, designed to preserve regional wine styles, which has been emulated all over Europe.

France is also the source of many international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.

FRANCE WHITE ALSACE

Located between the centre and north of France, the Loire valley stretches 600 miles east to west and accounts for 8% of the country’s vineyards including the famous appellations of Sancerre,

Pouilly-Fumé, Muscadet and Vouvray. Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are situated at the far eastern end of the Loire valley and arguably produce the world’s greatest expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. Sancerre

also produces high quality reds and rosés from Pinot Noir.

The Loire is considered to be France’s most diverse wine region given the different climates and soil types

such a large region offers, and as such, produces wines in every style.

Protected by the Vosges Mountains, Alsace is one of the driest regions in France and due to its northern latitude has very long hours of sunshine during the growing season. This helps to ripen the grapes and produce some of the world’s finest white wines.

The wines from Alsace are produced from noble varieties such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and

Gewurztraminer and unlike elsewhere in France, here, the name of the grape must appear on the

label. The best vineyard sites have been given Grand Cru status.

“Broad and creamy flavors of Jonagold apple, orchard blossom, peach skin and ground ginger are set in a lithe

and elegant frame, enlivened by a laser beam of acidity and an underpinning

of spicy mineral.”

Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu

Domaine Huet2016

90ptsThe Wine Advocate

“From the nine-hectare original vineyard of the Huet family, the 2016

Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec shows a citrus color followed by an intense,

fresh and chalky-mineral bouquet with lemon and some blossom aromas.

This is a medium-bodied, round, elegant, remarkably lush and delicate

Chenin Blanc from calcareous clay soils.”

Sancerre Clos du Roy

Pascal Jolivet2016

“Lovely talc, sweet pea, mâche and chive notes stream through, backed by a bracing, flint-edged finish. This

is steely and pure, textbook Sancerre that can handle a little cellaring.”

Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is the source of the most majestic Grand Cru and Premier Cru wines in the world. The polar opposite of Bordeaux with its grand Châteaux, this is a complex region of smallholders with over 3,000 vineyard owners. 15 million cases are produced annually from 100 different appellations spanning 26,000 hectares.

With reds made from Pinot Noir and whites from Chardonnay, these wines are not only long lived, but are also some of the most exceptional on the market.

The region is split into 5 sub-regions: CHABLISCOTE DE NUITSCOTE DE BEAUNECOTE CHALONNAISEMACONNAIS

Chablis Butteaux François Raveneau

2011

93ptsVinous

“The 2011 Chablis Butteaux is subtle, gracious and utterly impeccable in its elegance. All the elements are simply

in the right place. Articulate, energetic and nuanced, the 2011 captures all

the qualities of this 1er Cru site, in miniature.”

Chablis Vaudésir Louis Jadot

2015

93ptsVinous

“A well-defined and quite complex bouquet, with scents of yellow plum,

jasmine, flint and a touch of spice. The palate is well defined with a viscous

opening, quite tropical in style but redeemed by a lovely thread of acidity

and compelling purity on the finish. This is far superior to many Vaudésir

that I tasted, demonstrating persistency and class from start to finish.”

Corton-Charlemagne

Domaine Bonneau du Martray

2011

93ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A mineral-driven bouquet – linear and taut, with slate and granite

aromas gradually unfurling in the glass. The palate is clean and fresh

with supremely well-judged acidity. Touches of apricot and mango lie in the background with the citrus

element playing the main role.”

“Bright, light yellow. Sexy scents of white peach, orange oil and subtle

spices. Supple and creamy but also fresh and firm, displaying a pliant,

open-knit texture for the year but also lovely freshness to its white peach

fruit. Really spreads out on the back half, finishing with building, palate-

saturating length. This is wonderfully expressive today but there’s more

to come.”

“Subtle reduction on the nose with scents of dried quince complementing

weight on the finish. Very fine, very sophisticated.”

“A gorgeous bouquet in the making with orange peel, tangerine and tinned

year. It gathers momentum in the mouth and reveals compelling spicy

notes toward the finish.”

“A classy white, creamy in texture and racy, featuring lemon, apple,

the way.”

“Bright yellow. Aromas of pineapple, mirabelle and soft herbs, plus a whiff

of silex-like minerality. Round, rich and voluminous, with intense mid-palate

fruit and lovely perfume. Finishes long and aromatic, with superb mineral lift.

Wonderfully palate-staining 2010 white Burgundy.”

Morgeot Laguiche Joseph Drouhin

“Bright, pale yellow, with a faint green tinge. Inviting perfume of peach, pear and white flowers.

Impeccably balanced, fully ripe wine with harmonious acidity giving the

stone and orchard fruit flavors a light touch. Finishes with a firm stony

underpinning. A delicious, penetrating wine with class and aging potential.”

2009

95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Jadot’s 2009 Batard-Montrachet is rich, layered, sensual and totally

beguiling. Slate, smoke and crushed rocks are some of the notes that

develop in the glass, adding complexity to the highly expressive,

nuanced fruit.”

Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte

Bouchard Père & Fils2009

94ptsVinous

“Bright pale yellow. Steely aromas of apple, minerals and warm stone. Voluminous and powerful, with fat

flavors of pear, menthol, crushed stone and iodine. Most impressive today on the very long, broad aftertaste, which saturates the palate with lemon and crushed stone. This boasts the sheer

size and scale of a Montrachet.”

Pouilly-Fuissé Clos des Prouges

Domaine Ferret2016

fresh pastry. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, ample and rich, with succulent

balancing acids and a long, fragrant finish.”

Château Laville Haut-Brion Blanc

2006

98ptsThe Wine Advocate

“An absolutely staggering vintage for this historic and tiny estate, this

2006 has a huge nose of tropical fruit, including pineapple, as well as a liqueur of minerality, with quince,

white citrus, and a hint of subtle toast. Full-bodied, with huge concentration,

an almost flinty mouthfeel, zesty acidity, and a monster finish, this is

a prodigious Laville Haut-Brion that needs about 10 years of cellaring and

should last 30 or more years.”

Aile d’Argent Bordeaux Blanc de Mouton Rothschild

2009

93ptsThe Wine Advocate

“An abundance of marmalade notes intermixed with waxy lemon butter

are all present in this honeyed, crisp, refreshing wine, which has loads

of personality.”

COTE DE NUITSThe Côte de Nuits is a 20km stretch forming the northern part of the Côte d’Or, Burgundy’s

‘golden slope’, and it is here that most of the world’s finest examples of Pinot Noir

are produced. Named after the region’s largest village, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 22 out of

Burgundy’s 23 red Grands Crus are located here, expressing a variety of styles. They tend

to be weightier and deeper coloured than the Pinots produced on the Côte de Beaune.

Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saints-Georges are known for their robust style of

wine, whilst Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée display finesse and elegance.

COTE DE BEAUNEDespite the Côte de Beaune being well-known for its white wines, there is actually more red

wine produced in the region. The Pinot Noirs from this southern half of the Côte d’Or show

softness and finesse with the best examples coming from Beaune, Pommard and Volnay as

well as the exceptionally powerful Grand Cru of Corton.

“Very pure, with a precise and racy beam of honeysuckle, white peach,

verbena and yellow apple fruit notes streaming through, all carried by a

light quinine thread that adds length and tension through the finish.”

“Cherry, currant and spice flavors are the hallmarks of this dense red. A mineral note adds interest as this

builds to a long, sinewy finish. Echoes fruit and spice details on the

long aftertaste.”

Armand Rousseau2010

97ptsVinous

“From the very beginning, the 2010 Clos St. Jacques is a total stunner. Deep and beautifully layered, with

exquisite aromatics and tons of class, the 2010 is one of the wines of the

night. Sure, the 2010 will be even better in a few years, or maybe even

decades, but it is flat-out gorgeous today. What a wine!”

Comte de Vogüé2008

94ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru (from young vines in Musigny) is a powerful, inward wine. There

is lovely depth to the fruit, but the wine remains tightly coiled at this

stage, even if occasional glimmers of richness emerge over time. Cloves,

cinnamon and a host of other spiced notes add complexity on the finish.

This is another superb, textured wine from de Vogue.”

Clos Vougeot Bouchard Père & Fils

2014

93ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A clean, subtle and well-defined bouquet with attractive wild

strawberry, Morello and redcurrant scents. The palate is medium-bodied

with fine grain tannin. I appreciate the purity here, the balance and poise, the

manner in which it gently fans out on the finish. Excellent—this is another impressive showing from Bouchard

Père et Fils.”

BORDEAUX LEFT BANK

MEDOCHome to many of the biggest names in Bordeaux, the Médoc is the most famous red wine region in the world and includes the renowned appellations of St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux. Situated on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, the best vineyard sites are located on gravelly outcrops close to the river. The left bank is well suited to the production of Cabernet Sauvignon and the wines produced here will generally have this as the dominant grape in the blend.

ST ESTEPHEThis is the most northerly of the important communes of the Médoc. The wines here take on a rustic style due to the high proportion of clay in the soil. As a result they can seem austere in their youth, however they display good acidity and colour and are exceptionally long-lived.

PAUILLACConsidering that Pauillac is a small region of only 23km², three of the five First Growth Châteaux are located here – Château Latour, Château Lafite and Château Mouton Rothschild – with Grands Crus Classés representing 84% of the rest of the production. Fine, deep and gravelly soils mean that the vine roots reach a greater depth here than anywhere else in the Médoc. The resulting wines are intense and display great complexity.

ST JULIENSt Julien is the smallest of the well-known Médoc communes at only 700ha with a uniform style thanks to the gravelly soils. Despite having no First Growth properties, St Julien is considered to offer the most consistent wines across the board, with impressive offerings year after year.

MARGAUXThe largest commune in the Médoc, and home to First Growth Château Margaux, Margaux is famous for producing the most elegant and alluring wines of the Left Bank. With the lightest and most gravelly soils in the Médoc, the finest examples of Margaux are intensely perfumed whilst also subtle and refined.

PESSAC-LEOGNAN/GRAVESPessac-Léognan is a district within Graves that was created in 1986 due to pressure from the vignerons who wanted to disassociate themselves from growers further south in the commune where the soils are much sandier. Pessac-Léognan is home to Château Haut Brion, the only First Growth property outside of the Médoc.

RIGHT BANK

POMEROLPomerol is the smallest of the prestigious Bordeaux appellations with around only 150 producers and 740 hectares of vineyards. Demand and prices for these wines are high given that many of these are boutique growers making circa 1,000 cases a year. Pomerol is dominated by Merlot, producing rich and smooth wines, and features some iconic properties such as Château Pétrus.

ST EMILIONLocated on the right bank of the Dordogne, St Emilion is one of the most important Bordeaux appellations in terms of both quality and quantities produced. Merlot is the predominant grape variety and is perfectly suited to the clay and chalk-rich soils here. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are also grown. Given the high proportion of Merlot, these wines are much more approachable in youth than the more tannic examples produced on the left bank.

With 57 different appellations and 10,000 producers, Bordeaux is home to some of the world’s finest Châteaux, producing long-lasting wines of exceptional quality. 88% of the production of Bordeaux is red wine, or Claret as it is known in the UK, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux is also the source of dry whites made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and some of the world’s longest-lived sweet wines from Sauternes.

The wines of the Bordeaux left bank were classified in 1855 and only five have attained First Growth status - Château Lafite, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Haut Brion. Those Châteaux that made it into any of the five tiers of this classification will have Grand Cru Classé on the label.

CHATEAU BATAILLEYChâteau Batailley is a classically-styled Pauillac that exudes the near stereotypical aromas of cassis, cigar box and pencil shavings augmented by a coffee-bean texture and silky tannins. Really excellent value and delicious even in youth.

CHATEAU DUHART-MILON ROTHSCHILDWith 76 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Duhart is managed by Eric Kohler, technical director at Château Lafite Rothschild. It has the distinguished and reserved character so typical of Pauillac. “The Rothschild family has invested heavily in this estate over the last 20 years in order to upgrade the quality, and their investments have certainly paid off handsomely.” Robert Parker

CHATEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILDLafite consistently produces one of the wines of the vintage year in, year out. In a great vintage it is a reasonable assumption that Lafite will have produced the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon in the whole Médoc and fashioned a wonderful, long-lived, currant and cedar scented, ethereal beauty.

CHATEAU LATOURLatour is considered one of the most powerful, dense Pauillacs to be found and it needs to age.

CHATEAU LYNCH BAGESAlways something of a relative bargain, Lynch Bages was awarded a derisory Fifth Growth status in 1855, perhaps the greatest travesty in the whole classification, as the property regularly performs at ‘super second’ level.

“Rock solid, displaying a dense core of plum, steeped currant and braised fig fruit, with racy charcoal and ganache notes. Intensely chalky, offering flesh and refinement to match the bracing minerality, this shows hints of grilled savory, iron, warm paving stone and

bitter orange on the riveting finish.”

“The nose offers outstanding delineation and mineralité. It positively

fizzes in the glass with all that coiled-up energy, ladling out vivid blackberry

and cedar aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, but it is the detail

and precision that achieves a level that makes the 2010 a benchmark for the

Pauillac estate.”

“Dense purple, with classic notes of cedar and lead pencil shavings as well as gobs of black currants and licorice, the wine has a full-bodied mouthfeel

ripe and well-integrated.”

“The biggest, richest, fullest-bodied Lynch Bages until the 2000, the fully

mature 1990 exhibits an unbelievably explosive nose of black currants,

cedarwood, herbs and spice. The majestic, classically Bordeaux

aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, voluptuously textured, rich,

intense wine with superb purity as well as thrilling levels of fruit, glycerin

and sweetness.”

CHATEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILDChâteau Mouton Rothschild is the only Château to achieve reclassification since 1855 when the wines from Bordeaux were sorted into five tiers according to the prices they were fetching on the market at the time. This unique recategorisation took place in 1973 when Mouton Rothschild entered into the realm of the top five Châteaux (Premiers Grands Crus Classés). The bottles from this vineyard are famous not only for the powerful yet deceptively smooth wine inside, but also for the colourful labels brought out each year which are designed by a different artist for each vintage.

The fairytale château building and sumptuous label provide a glimpse of the beauty of the wine in the bottle.

This was a reference to the fact that ships passing by the château lowered their sails in deference and allegiance to Admiral Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, the property’s first owner under Henri III.

“This remains the stunner, a battleship of a wine, brimming with

cassis, blackberry and fig fruit that has melded together now, with

the backdrop of alder, bay leaf and menthol starting to emerge a bit more.

The long finish is loaded with grip, pulling the fruit and other components together. And then there’s that flash of

iron at the very end. Awesome wine.”

95+ptsVinous

“Ripe, exotic nose offers scents of dark berries, black cherry, graphite, peat,

iron, flowers and chocolatey oak. Very ripe and impressively dense, showing

compelling depth to its lush dark berry and graphite flavors. A sexy sugar/acid

balance gives this sharply delineated wine very good early balance but its

powerfully structured, very long finish suggests that it will be long-lived.”

Château Pichon Lalande Comtesse

2005

94ptsWine Spectator

“Juicy and sleek in feel, with a gloss of singed vanilla and alder over the

core of lively blackberry, fig and black currant paste flavors. Singed charcoal

and sweet tobacco notes score the finish and leave a mouthwatering feel.

A tough decision whether to drink now or wait, as both choices will

be rewarded.”

“The Grand Vin, the 2005 Beychevelle is a gorgeous wine, with plenty of crème

beautiful texture and purity.”

“The nose shows loads of plum, spice and meat aromas, as well as hints of licorice. It’s full-bodied, with firm, yet velvety textured tannins. It’s big and

rounded. If you can’t afford Las Cases, try some of this. Some might call this a second wine, but it comes from a plot

of vineyards not deemed worthy of Léoville Las Cases. So it’s like its

own estate.”

It can still offer a saving on its more illustrious stable-mate but often produces an equal, and more than occasionally superior, wine.

2010

95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Black raspberries, creme de cassis and spring floral notes intermixed

with forest floor and a hint of charcoal are followed by an opulent, sexy,

full-bodied wine whose tannins have become much sweeter, while the wine

is less restrained yet still exuberant and impressive. This is a phenomenal

example once again for this estate, harmonious in every sense of style,

extraordinarily long, rich and ageworthy.”

Château Margaux1996

100ptsThe Wine Advocate

“This is a Margaux that seems to light up the senses. It was outstanding in

its youth...something that has not changed one bit over the intervening

two decades. This may well turn out to be the Left Bank pinnacle of the 1990s.”

Château Palmer2005

97ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A wondrously pixelated bouquet, whereby mineralité shines through

the black cherry and blueberry fruit. Search deeper and you discover

veins of graphite that impart a Pauillac-like allure. The palate is

medium-bodied and intense, but it is not overwhelming, a Margaux that

is galvanized with a firm backbone thereby ensuring this will age over the

long term.”

Château Haut-Bailly2010

95ptsWine Spectator

“Chewy and brambly, but integrated, this carries a very hefty core of

espresso, ganache, mulled plum and blackberry fruit. The purity starts to

shine through on the finish, which drips with cassis and is threaded with

a long warm paving stone note.”

Château Haut Brion2005

100ptsThe Wine Advocate

“With its elegance and finesse, it is not as powerful as La Mission, but the

nobility and complexity of the aromatics, incredible fragrance (subtle smoke and blue, red, and black fruits) that persists

in the glass, full-bodied mouthfeel (though very light and delicate on its

feet), and incredible length characterize this great Haut-Brion.”

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

2009

100ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The wine’s remarkable concentration offers up an unctuous/viscous texture,

a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, sweet, sumptuous, nearly over-the-top flavors

and massive density. Perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime La Mission-Haut-Brion.”

PETRUSProbably the greatest and certainly the most famous red wine in all of Bordeaux, and perhaps the world. Because of their extraordinarily rigorous selection (sometimes they only use 50% of the crop), Pétrus consistently make the best possible wine every vintage. This impacts on the quantity produced each year (between 1000 and 3000 cases only) but maintains the wine’s legendary reputation.

“Absolutely profound, with a complex bouquet of mulberries, black cherries,

black currants, graphite and subtle smoke and burning ember-like

aromas, this is a true super-star of the vintage. It represents a remarkable

achievement by the winemaking team of Bernard Magrez. Full-bodied, rich and multidimensional, this wine

clearly transcends the entire vintage.”

2005

95+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Beautiful coffee, cedar wood, Christmas fruitcake, black cherry and

blackcurrant fruit jump from the glass of this full-bodied, rich, multi-layered,

and very impressive Certan de May. This is a beauty.”

Château L’Eglise-Clinet

2000

97ptsThe Wine Advocate

“It has a level of purity that one can only describe as profound, scents of black cherry, cassis, cedar and black

truffle unfolding with each passing moment in the glass. The palate has

exquisite balance with salinity that gets the saliva flowing. There is a

seam of spiciness, black pepper and rosemary that coat the mouth, but the

overall style at the moment is linear and focused.”

Château L’Evangile2016

97ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Notions of plum preserves, Black Forest cake, red cherry compote and

black raspberries with touches of menthol, chocolate box, licorice and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied,

the palate features fantastically ripe, velvety tannins and beautiful

freshness, lifting the generous, brightly fruited mid-palate and giving bags

of energy to the very long-lingering, minerally finish.”

Château La Fleur-Pétrus

2005

96ptsWine Spectator

“A brick house, with a strong ganache, charcoal and roasted alder spine that

remains the dominant feature for now, though there’s ample black currant, plum and raspberry fruit in reserve.

Offers a muscular yet racy finish, thanks to a beautiful graphite note

that drives through.”

Pétrus2010

100ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A monster-in-the-making, with loads of mulberry, coffee, licorice and

black cherry notes with an overlay of enormous amounts of glycerin and

depth. Stunningly rich, full-bodied and more tannic and classic than the 2009,

this is an awesome Petrus.”

preserved plums and dried roses with wafts of lavender, menthol and

with black fruit preserves accented by complex savory and earth-inspired

flavors, supported by wonderful freshness, textured by plush tannins and finishing with fantastic tension.”

“This has an outstanding bouquet that is superior to anything that

preceded it: a mixture of red and black fruit, undergrowth, minerals,

iris and crushed violet. The oak here is seamlessly integrated. The palate is

medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, quite sensual in

the mouth, especially for a 2010, that makes this more approachable that

many of its peers.”

ST JOSEPHSt Joseph Lautaret Domaine Eric et Joel Durand 2014 €32.00

The northern Rhône contains some of the oldest vineyards in France producing elegant wines made from Syrah which are both powerful and have the capacity to age. Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are the stars of the north, needing at least a decade to show at their best. St Joseph and Cornas produce more accessible examples whilst Crozes-Hermitage offers great value for money.

The valley floor opens out in the southern Rhône, with vines planted low to the ground in goblet formation to protect them from the strong mistral winds. The soils here are made up of round stones from the ancient river bed and these retain the warmth of the day, helping to fully ripen the grapes of the heat-loving Grenache. The best wine villages of the Côtes du Rhône have been given their own appellation such as Gigondas and the well-known Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Following the Rhône River from north to south, this southern French wine region is 250 km in length with 200 communes producing wine in a wide range of styles.

and incredible texture, it should drink well all of its life.”

Austrian wine recently came into its own following a wine scandal in 1985 which led to a complete

ITALY

Home to more than 2000 grape varieties and some of the oldest wine regions in the world, Italy produces more wine than any other country with the 2018 harvest reaching 48.5 million hectolitres. Italy has over 1 million vineyards under cultivation,

producing wines from almost every region, renowned worldwide for their broad variety.

Each region has its own style with the most significant in terms of both quantity and quality being Piedmont, Tuscany and Veneto.

Italy’s best-known grapes are Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Barbera and Montepulciano alongside international varieties, in particular Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

PIEDMONTLocated in the north west of Italy, Piedmont has a continental climate influenced by its proximity to both the Alps and the Ligurian Apennines. Since Roman times,

Piedmont has been considered the fine wine capital of Italy and has the country’s highest proportion of DOC and DOCG wines even though it only accounts for

7% of its production.

Gavi DOCG is Piedmont’s best-known dry white wine made from the Cortese grape grown around the town of Gavi itself. Whites are also made from the indigenous Roero near the town of Arneis. Nebbiolo is the king of red wine grapes in Piedmont and is planted on all

of the best sites. Nebbiolo, the variety behind Barbaresco and Barolo, produces wines with pronounced aromas of tar, roses and truffles which age fantastically,

often needing at least ten years before they really come into their own.

Barbera and Dolcetto are grown around the towns of Asti and Alba producing easier drinking styles that are more accessible from a younger age.

BARBARESCOA third of the size of neighbouring Barolo, and 50 years

younger, Barbaresco is renowned for producing some of Italy’s finest wines. Thanks largely to the efforts of

Angelo Gaja, the region has been recognised for its real potential and it was granted DOCG

status is 1980.

BAROLOBarolo DOC was founded in 1966 and

upgraded to DOCG status in 1980, which seems appropriate given that this is not only Italy’s most

famous wine region, but is also widely regarded to be its best. Reds are made from 100% Nebbiolo which

capitalises on the long, warm summers and the unique terroir, with each village sitting upon its own hill

surrounded by vineyards.

TUSCANYItaly’s oldest wine region, Tuscany is also its fifth largest, producing

the third highest amount of DOCG quality wines despite only producing around 6% of the country’s volume of wine. This is largely due to the region’s poor soils which

encourage producers to grow small yields of high quality grapes.

Tuscany has a unique terrain with more than two thirds of it being hilly which benefits the predominant grape variety, Sangiovese, as it needs direct sunlight to ripen fully. Two of Italy’s most famous wines are found in

Tuscany – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

SUPER TUSCANThe term ‘Super Tuscan’ first emerged in the 1970s to describe a new wave of wine being made outside of DOC/DOCG regulations

to a very high standard, and commanding high prices to match. Many of these wines achieved a cult following and as a result, the Italian classification system was changed to give these DOC or DOCG status. Some producers still prefer to use IGP Toscana.

“Crisp and luminous, the 2016 Langhe Rossj-Bass is Chardonnay enhanced

with a tiny part Sauvignon Blanc. This second grape only constitutes 5% of the blend, yet its presence is felt in a

big way. The wine presents pristine and sharply delineated tones of exotic

fruit, peach and white rose.”

“Alois Lageder is one of the ultimate Alto Adige artisans. The organic and

biodynamic 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio Porer is a fresh and zesty white

with preserved lemon, honeydew melon and white peach. There is a

zesty, almost spicy note on the close that recalls dried basil or garden mint.

Flint and crushed mineral give the wine dry focus and delineation.”

2016

93ptsVinous

“Bright straw yellow. Fresh aromas of gooseberries, kiwi, coriander, sage

by white stone fruit and ripe citrus notes. Refined and long on the tactile,

brooding finish. A lovely Sauvignon Blanc that should age some.

Well done.”

“Vivid golden-tinged straw. Sweet aromas of vanilla, orange oil, crème

with powerful crushed stone flavors buffered by a touch of sweetness on

the long back end that features hints of orange oil and ripe apricot. This sappy

wine appears to have considerable aging potential. A lovely La Rocca.”

Monteverro Chardonnay

“This warm vintage delivers loads of yellow fruit that emerges from the bouquet with power. Beyond

the fruit are rose petal, pine nut and exotic spice aromas. Hints of vanilla

for its texture. The richness is soothing and soft. The finish is velvety

and supple.”

Popularity for Italian fine wines has recently soared due to the fact that not only do they need less cellaring than their French counterparts, but also offer incredible value for money. Red wines are produced in every style from all over the country using predominantly local grape varieties, with more international ones being planted as the demand for Super Tuscans increases.

TENUTA SAN GUIDOThis is the winery that coined the phrase ‘Super Tuscan’, producing Cabernet blends from the 1940s due to the Marchese’s love for Bordeaux wines. Originally only able to call these wines Vino da Tavola, it is a testament to the quality of Sassicaia that the DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia was created specifically for it. Guidalberto is the second wine of this incredible winery. “Unquestionably one of the most compelling and dramatic Cabernet Sauvignons I have ever tasted, it continues to go from strength to strength.” Robert Parker

SOLAIASolaia (derived from the Italian word for sun) was first produced in 1978 from a parcel of Cabernet within the Tignanello vineyard that was deemed to be of such high quality that the Marchese decided to vinify it separately. Since then the quantity has increased from the original 3,600 bottles and the Solaia vineyard now consists of 20ha. Solaia is only produced in the best vintages and truly reflects its terroir.

Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido

2012

99ptsWine Enthusiast

“One of Italy’s most iconic bottlings, the 2012 Sassicaia is drop-dead

gorgeous. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet

Franc, it boasts sensations of blue flowers, cedar, juicy red currants,

ripe raspberries, white pepper and a balsamic note. Structured, radiant

and loaded with finesse, it delivers everything you’d expect from a world-

class wine and more.”

Solaia Antinori2013

97+ptsThe Wine Advocate

“A profound and meaningful wine that is based mostly on Cabernet

Sauvignon with Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc in supporting roles. It

sports a dark and thick texture with plump fruit and spice, grilled herb and black pepper. The bouquet is

intense and layered with the kind of complexity that is best admired as the

wine shifts and evolves in the glass.”

Tignanello Antinori2008

94ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. The 2008 isn’t a huge or

obvious Tignanello, rather it is a wine that impresses for its sublime elegance

and precision. Understated layers of fruit caress the palate like cashmere

in this impeccable, soft wine. It is a fabulous achievement!”

NeroSanlore’ Gulfi2008

92+ptsVinous

“Tar, smoke, licorice, incense and the blackest of fruit emerge from this powerful, full-bodied Sicilian

red. Leather, earthiness and graphite are some of the nuances that add a

baritone-like sense of gravitas on the finish. A huge, powerful finish rounds out in this brooding, imposing wine.”

Assyrtiko Wild Ferment Gaia

2017

92ptsWine Enthusiast

“Citrus, vanilla and spice aromas introduce this Assyrtiko from Santorini.

On the palate, it’s complex, with fresh fruit, sea salt and stone notes that

finish with a whiff of smoke. Elegant and distinctive of its rare terroir.”

Spain is the third largest producer of wines in the world with over a million acres under vine, more than any other country. Given the diversity of the country’s landscape and climates, and the fact that Spain is home to 60 regional DOs, it’s hardly surprising that it produces wines in a variety of styles.

From the fresh whites made from Albariño in Rías Baixas to top

end reds from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, there is a huge amount of

exciting wine available, offering fantastic value for money.

RIOJASpain’s most famous wine region, Rioja is situated in the north of the country

just south of the Cantabrian Mountains. The wines are normally a blend of grapes,

the majority being Tempranillo with some Garnacha and Graciano.

Traditional style Rioja is distinguished by long periods of barrel ageing, whereas the

modern style favours the fruit and freshness of Tempranillo. Rioja is only ever released onto

the market when it is ready to drink and as such, offers incredible value for money.

“The honeysuckle, white currants, quince and wet rock/mineral notes of

the crisp yet full-bodied, concentrated 2012 Chardonnay Vine Hill are fresh,

lively, exuberant and, at the same time, powerful and elegant. This is a beauty, combining both elegance and depth.”

2016

95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The 2016 Chardonnay has a lovely savory, yeasty/toasty nose over a core

of warm grapefruit, fresh apricots and allspice with a touch of candied

ginger. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling stone fruit

and spicy layers, supported by great freshness and finishing long

“Shafer’s 2015 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is creamy, open-knit

stand out most. Lightly buttered notes and a kiss of French oak add the

closing touches.”

Generally considered to be the most successful New World wine producer, largely due to building a brand around Shiraz, Australia produces wines in a wide variety of styles.

Shiraz and Chardonnay make up 44% of total plantings, with increasing amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir being grown.

The wine regions vary hugely: from the Barossa, home to the oldest vines in Australia and producing top quality Shiraz; to Clare Valley, famous for some of the country’s richest Rieslings.

“Pale, green-tinged yellow. High-pitched aromas of citrus fruits and

flower, with an intense mineral overtone. Vibrant and linear on the

leaving behind sappy citrus fruit and honeysuckle notes.”

“Potent, spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, mocha and candied

sweet dark berry and cherry flavors and a hint of spicecake. A vanilla note comes up with air and carries through

a smooth, gently tannic finish.”

“Fresh, vibrant and youthful black fruit notes showing some blueberry aromas

and accents of camphor, anise and the slightest floral hint plus a whiff of

oak in the background to lend a cedar-laced lift to this textbook Shiraz nose. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it is very taut and finely constructed

showing typically firm, grainy, uniform tannins, great concentration and

wonderful persistence on the finish.”

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has become synonymous with New Zealand and is now a brand in its own right. There is far more to the wine industry here than just Sauvignon however - fantastic Pinot Noir from Central Otago, Syrah from Hawkes Bay and Chardonnay from Marlborough, all displaying a purity of fruit unique to New Zealand.

Thanks to the hard work of several very talented winemakers and the privatisation of the state-controlled winemaking cooperative, the South African wine industry has taken

a huge change in direction in the last 20 years. Previously known for cheap wines that often ended up being distilled into brandy before hitting the shelves, the now vibrant

industry is earning a reputation for some of the most exciting wines on the market.South Africa is famous for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the

indigenous Pinotage.

Cloudy Bay Te Koko

Sauvignon Blanc2015

93ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The 2015 Te Koko offers pungency and passion fruit on the nose, followed

by a wine of great concentration and intensity. Hints of struck flint add

complexity, while the mouth-filling palate boasts a rich, multilayered

texture and a lingering finish. Only 8% aged in new French oak and about

a third of the wine went through malolactic fermentation, leaving it

with crisp acids and a great sense of elegance and balance.”

Felton Road Pinot Noir

2015

94ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Dark and brooding, with black licorice, plum and black cherry flavors

that are velvety and sophisticated, accented with hints of toasted cumin

and paprika. Shows good intensity on the finish.”

Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block

2016

90ptsWine Spectator

“This packs in quite a bit of fruit, offering a mix of currant, raspberry

and plum paste flavors, wrapped with ample licorice and sweet spice notes. A

streak of singed vanilla adds range on the finish. Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet

Sauvignon, Cinsault and Viognier.”

Creation Chardonnay Reserve

2016

92ptsThe Wine Advocate

“It has a refined bouquet with flecks of white chocolate and praline infusing

the citrus fruit, well defined and full of energy. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a pleasant nuttiness

in the background, quite tensile with good depth and grip on the finish,

tangy orange peel on the aftertaste.”

It can last, if stored correctly, for up to a century. Made, as are all sweet Bordeaux wines, from Sémillon and aged for four years in oak barrels.

91ptsVinous

“Golden yellow. Scents of apple blossom, white raisin and quince are

highlighted by a faint hint of spicy botrytis. Luscious, candied fruit show

a velvety texture, with minty acidity keeping the palate fresh. At once

dense and light, with mineral salts and slate spices on the long, elegant finish.”

Château Rieussec2010

94ptsWine Spectator

“A muscular version, with dacquoise and marzipan notes leading the way

for creamed orange, white peach, ginger, mirabelle compote and

tangerine accents that pump through the piecrust-filled finish. Has the

vintage’s raw oomph, as well as range and cut for balance.”

Château d’Yquem2001

100ptsThe Wine Advocate

“The nose is like the throbbing engine of an Aston Martin Vantage, ready to go. It is so packed with intensity. The

palate is perfectly balanced and laden with botrytis, with heavenly focus and

a crescendo of flavors that take your breath away: acacia honey, yellow

plum, white peach and orange sorbet.”

Sine Qua Non Mr K The Noble Man

Chardonnay2005

98ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Made from 100% Chardonnay from the Alban Vineyard, the 2005 Mr. K.

The Noble Man possesses 235 grams of residual sugar per liter as well as

exceptional acid levels. Its mind-boggling purity, balance, intensity, and

sweetness are balanced by the wine’s zesty acidity. An amazing achievement

fashioned from 100% botrytised fruit, it will keep for 20 or more years.”

Vin de Constance Klein Constantia

2008

95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Offers a very complex bouquet with fresh pineapple, quince, Japanese

yuzu, just a hint of grass clippings and then later mille fieulle. It feels smooth

and pure – gentle in the mouth, caressing the senses with its quince and marmalade tinged finish with a suggestion of shaved ginger on the

aftertaste. Wonderful!”

Taylor’s 40 Year Old Tawny

NV

95ptsThe Wine Advocate

“Big, weighty and mouth filling, this is an aromatic Tawny that finishes

with acidity and tension. Gripping on the finish, its flavors become more

interesting as long as it sits in the glass (or on your palate).”
