  La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2016

  $120.00

  Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it. 95 points – James […]

  Jo Landron Muscadet Sevre et Maine Le Fief du Breil 2016

  $60.00

  Out of Stock

  Le Fief du Breil comes from a single, six-hectare biodynamically farmed vineyard, situated on a south-facing slope above the Sèvre river in La Haye-Fouassière. Fief is a term from the Middle Ages which means a piece of land once associated with (and probably owned by) the local Abbey or Duke. This in turn infers quality, as the local […]

  Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2016 (500ml)

  $200.00

  This golden-colored Tokaji has aromas of raw honey, apricot blossom, pear and baked apple tart. Silky smooth upon entry, it offers flavors of baked apples, wildflower honey, canned pears and apricot. The acidity is nicely balanced so as not to be too cloyingly sweet. 97 points, Jeff Jenssen, Wine Enthusiast

  Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2016

  $90.00

  Sensual and suave, with flavours I haven’t found in a Vat 1 before. Just when I thought I knew what to expect! Preserved lime, fresh lemon, cream, kiwifruit, gardenia and honeysuckle. Subtle and very young. This seems quite open, but I feel this will shut down soon and be the better for it. A wonderful […]

  Laherte Freres Les Longues Voyes Blanc de Noirs 2016

  $180.00

  The 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru is a dense, powerful Champagne built on vertical intensity. The dark, brooding side of Pinot emerges as the Longues Voyes starts to open in the glass. There is a real sense of gravitas here. Pear, white flowers, spice and almond are all nicely […]

  Laherte Freres Les Vignes d’Autrefois 2016

  $180.00

  The 2016 Extra Brut Vignes d’Autrefois is 100% Meunier from vines planted in 1947 and 1964 done in neutral oak. Bright and vibrant in the glass, the 2016 offers a compelling interplay of Meunier richness with striking layers of intense minerality that open over time. Sweet floral notes add inner perfume and the closing flourishes […]

  La Torre Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016

  $225.00

  Discreet nose, almost closed, but with plenty of vigorous swirling, a stunning aromatic tapestry emerges. Blood plum, red cherry, blueberry, cocoa, lavender, blood orange, dried flowers, cigar, sandalwood and polished leather. Texturally complex.  Sleek, puckering and tannic, and it’s this combination that sets Brunello apart from other grapes. Very fine and elemental, expansive across the […]

  Taylors Vintage Port 2016

  $220.00

  Out of Stock

  In 2016 Taylor’s began picking in Vargellas on 17 September, followed by Pinhão Valley estate on 23 and 26 September. The 2016 Vintage Port has an aristocratic bouquet with tight wound aromas of blackberry, bilberry, crushed stone, black olive and a light, marine-tinged element, perhaps almost peat-like. The palate is just beautiful with fine, chiseled […]

  Gilbert Museum Release Riesling 2016

  $55.00

  From a single vineyard sitting at 845m elevation on a northeast aspect. Makrut lime leaves, lemon-lime cordial, candied green apple and dried hay. A slip ‘n slide of succulent acidity followed by sunflower kernel, silver needle tea and a woven fabric of texture. This is only beginning to hit its stride with baked clay minerality, […]

  Royal Tokaji Nyulaszo 1st Growth Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016

  First growth grandeur, and different with it too, distinct. Incredibly complex and concentrated, and for it’s power, cleansing and refreshing. Dried apricot, ginger, honey, buttered toast, cherry, plum, fig, blood orange and custard. Chiselled and with a textural grip that works so well with food. As remarkable as it is unique. Decades ahead! Waters Wine […]

  Royal Tokaji Gold Label Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016

  $125.00

  Luscious, intense and concentrated. Not as textural, or chiselled as the First Growth. Apricot, honey, yellow peach, orange zest, quince, aniseed and camphor. Plush, but with very high level of acidity, to balance the incredible sweetness. Very long indeed. Insane value. Waters Wine Co   The 2016 Gold Label Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos, which delivers […]

  Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016

  $385.00

  The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

  Tyrrell’s Blanc de Blancs 2016

  $65.00

  The wine world, like any other, is faddish and if you were to think of sparkling wine, any sparkling wine, the Hunter valley would be pretty far down the list, if not at all. But Tyrrell’s can always be relied upon to make at the very least, ‘good’ wine and some the greatest of all. […]

  Fonseca Vintage Port 2016

  $220.00

  On this second look, this Fonseca is still remarkably expressive, lifted and gloriously fresh, even with that slight closing. It has reasonable mid-palate concentration but even better intensity of flavor. Despite that intensity of flavor, it is not quite as sexy as it is in some years, at least not yet, as the tannins are […]
