TASTING NOTES
Bright, crunchy raspberry fruit on the nose and a faint waft of liquorice peeping through, there is excellent balance and freshness.

Bottle 75cl £59.60
TASTING NOTES
The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Rennina is strikingly beautiful. Rich, open-knit and alluring, the Rennina captures all the best qualities of the year. Sweet red cherry, plum, tobacco and spice notes are all supported by ripe, silky tannins that give the wine much of its sensual personality. The intensity of the year is very much in evidence, yet the Rennina...

TASTING NOTES
Healthy deep red. Good energy and nuance to the aromas of plum, currant, tobacco and milk chocolate The palate conveys an old-vines intensity and good lift to the currant and wild mint flavors. The sweetest and lushest of these 2011s to this point, finishing with firm, building tannins and very good balancing acidity.91 Points.

Bottle 75cl £48.60 £44.00
TASTING NOTES
A11NCPRA12B This is also exceptionally fresh though much more restrained with a beautifully well-layered nose of red berry fruit, earth and a hint of spice. There is a wonderfully seductive character to the rich and velvety middle weight flavors that manage to retain a fine sense of precision on the mouth coating and vibrant finish. This should mature gracefully and...

TASTING NOTES
The 2013 vintage is an extraordinarily elegant wine with an expansive bouquet of sweet red cherries and wild berries. On the palate, bright redcurrant fruits mingle with Mediterranean spices, exotic wild herbs and a delicate balsamic note. Beautifully balanced and energetic with a fine mineral structure and magnificent length, this is a classically defined Sassicaia with considerable ageing potential. Anticipated...

TASTING NOTES
In Redigaffi’s twentieth vintage, there is no doubting the pedigree of this wonderful Super Tuscan. This brilliant release from Tua Rita is, quite simply, an embarrassment of superlatives. Just 8000 bottles (compared to the usual 10 000) were made of this velveteen wine. As such, demand is expected to be even higher than usual. A wine of remarkable presence; this...

Bottle 75cl £134.60
TASTING NOTES
Brilliant, intense, rich and unctuous, this combines undoubted class with a little flamboyance too. Notes of peach, nectarine and sherbet with enough acidity to counter the sweetness, overlaying a deep, layered core and a mineral streak on the finish. This has you could possibly want from a top Sauternes. Chapeau to Lur-Saluces. Drink 2015-2030+. 18.5

This is once again the star 1er Cru in the line-up and one of the most original and fascinating wines of Gevrey. A monopole of Faiveley in a tiny, rocky 0.5ha plot next to Ruchottes-Chambertin, this shows notes of rose petal, nectarine and summer fruit on the nose with a beautifully polished palate with dissolved minerality and a saline edge....

TASTING NOTES
The Jarollières vineyard is situated right next to Volnay and has more in common with the elegant wines from this appellation than most Pommards. Made from eighty year old vines, this is an elegant wine with pure redcurrant and bramble fruit aromas which combine with notes of sweet smoke and hints of cedar. The palate is medium weight with bold...

Alteni di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc derives its name from the small stone walls called alteni that once surrounded the orchards in the area, and the yellow brassica flowers that cover the vineyards in the spring. Made from vineyards in Barbaresco and Serralunga, from soils with a high calcareous clay content with excellent exposure, the 2012 vintage is silky and elegant...

TASTING NOTES
Mango, glazed pineapple, root beer and caramel inform a headily ripe and exotic nose – tinged with musk, sweat, and smoke – and also an almost syrupy-sweet and viscous palate. Piquant hints of orange rind and a bit of fresh orange juiciness are outgunned in the finish by the onslaught of caramelized tropical fruit concentrate.
