Isabelle represents the finest Pinot Noir lots of the vintage. It is quite complex showing candied raspberry, cherry, blood orange fruit with notes of anise, wet stone and bay leaf joined by hints of baking spice and pastry crust on the palate. Medium-full bodied with a tight structure, this wine will evolve and increase in complexity for years to come.

The Los Alamos Vineyard Pinot Noir is a testament to the Central Coast's vinicultural heritage. Aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, sagebrush, and wild mushrooms evoke a sensory journey. The palate features a rounded body and flavours reminiscent of berries and cream, culminating in a pronounced finis...

One of the world's top rose wines hailing from an unexpected part of the world: Long Island, New York. Instantly you are met with notes of apples, pears and strawberries. The palate is rich and textural yet crisp and well balanced with the acidity gained from the Chardonnay. The best thing about thi...

"From barrel, I wrote that 2022 Montrose was so compelling that assigning it a bracketed score seemed a mere formality, and so it has proven. Unwinding in the glass with a deep and brooding bouquet of cassis, wild blueberries, violets, pencil shavings and burning embers, it's full-bodied, deep and d...

"With an introverted, almost austere profile, the 2022 Hermitage La Chapelle offers up aromas of dark berries, spices, cornflower and licorice mingled with delicate notes of pencil lead and oak. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, it has a beautiful fleshy core of fruit, velvety tann...

"Among the finest expressions of the challenging 2021 vintage, with finessed ripeness and understated polish. Earthy and salty, offering sanguine animal notes and well-integrated white pepper freshness. Cashmere tannins are softened yet still keep a gentle grip on the finish, which stretches out effortlessly. Sublime now and built to go the distance. Drink now through 2038." 96 Pts Wine Spectator

"Complex layers of heady apple and quince unfurl alongside toasted hazelnut, acacia and smoked green herb notes in this gorgeous, concentrated white. Saline, bitter mineral elements cut through for a chiseled finish, which stretches way out. New flavor details -- verbena, straw, crushed flint, bakin...

"The 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is very attractive, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, rose petals and vine smoke. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's layered and fleshy, with a deep and seamless core of fruit that conceals powdery structuring tannins, conc...

"A remarkable effort that channels the finesse of the vintage with rich, muscular edges, offering a base of graphite and cassis notes that gather around elegant layers of dried rosemary and white pepper. The richly textured core of raspberry and plum flavors show precision and just enough acidity to...

"Powerful, refined and luscious, with a surplus of dark plum, kirsch and cassis flavors that are unctuous and long. Shows plenty of grip, presenting a long, full finish, filled with Asian spice and raspberry tart accents. Rich and chocolaty. One for the ages. Best from 2030 through 2060.

A Special Edition Whisky from Kilchoman distillery, from Islay, in collaboration with Michael Fraser Milne of Whisky Galore in Christchurch.Just 250 bottles from a single cask of 5 year whisky aged initially in an American oak barrel before being transferred and matured for a further year in a Marsa...

"This vivid Champagne shows up-front and linear definition, thanks to rapierlike acidity, with finely meshed flavors of ripe black cherry and mandarin orange fruit, raw almond, anise and cardamom spice as well as a touch of honeycomb, which all unfurl and expand on the fine, creamy palate. Sleek aci...

The excellent 2019 Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvée Fleuron, sourced from eight lieux-dits in Cramant, Chouilly and Cuis, was disgorged in October 2023 with five grams per liter dosage. Soaring from the glass with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, elderflower and toasted bread, it is full-bodied, textur...

"The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is also a strong performance in this more challenging year, revealing a classic bouquet of citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers, iodine and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate that's impressively deep...

"The 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is also a strong performer this year, reminiscent of a more open version of the terrific 2020. Delivering aromas of orange oil, pear and green apple mingled with hints of white flowers, buttery pastry and oyster shell, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. " 94 Pts Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

The 2022 vintage of the Chateau de Saint Cosme Cote Rotie has a wonderful nose filled with black coffee and fresh blackberries. It opens up to give a smoky nose with more of those plush red and black fruits. It is silky and all too easy to drink.

"The remarkable 2021 Montrose gets my nomination for the title of "wine of the vintage" in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis and dark berries mingled with subtle hints of mint, orange, pencil shavings and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with ...

"The 2021 Hermitage Le Chevalier de Sterimberg Blanc is 100% Marsanne, quite possibly for the first time ever. Marked by scents of crushed stone, citrus, pineapple and white peach, it's medium-bodied and definitely on the austere side. It's like it wants to be a CFE from Trimbach or something. It do...

Fermented and aged in new French oak, again, this time for 22 months in total. This has more of a mocha, grated dark chocolate and malt character to it thanks to the heavier char. Darker flavours here such as Black Doris plums, boysenberry and bing cherries. It has the delicacy of a Pinot Noir for s...
