Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
$220.00On 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 […]

Pressing Matters R69 Riesling 2022
$42.00Pale green-yellow hue; a lifted perfume of honey, lime and lemon blossoms and the palate is rich and yet super-fine, the sweetness balancing out what is surely quite high acidity. The end result is gorgeous flavour and fruit/sugar/acid balance. The persistent honey note suggests the grapes were fully ripe. The finish is clean and harmonious. […]

Gosset Celebris Rose 2008
$425.00I like to drink Champagne, like any other wine and to not sip. I critique Champagne no differently to any other wine, the attributes of concentration, complexity of flavour, textural evenness, length of presence and the harmony of elements. So when I tasted Gosset’s Celebris Rose 2008, I knew instantly I was in the presence […]

$160.00The 2022 Santenay Beaurepaire ler Cru contains 15% whole bunches, though I would have guessed a little more.
