Wine
Taylor Fladgate 1970 Single Harvest
Pale mahogany core surrounded by a broad pale gold rim with subtle olive highlights. On first impression, the wine is lifted and ethereal but soon begins to unfurl layer after layer of multi-dimensional aroma. First to emerge are notes of sawn wood and cigar leaf, against a background of cedar, balsam and citrus. These are followed by a warmer, mellow redolence of marzipan, walnut and coffee, notes of sultana and plum and spicy hints of black pepper and cardamom. Finally, the nose opens up a discreet savoury dimension, with hints of toast and wild herbs. On the palate, the wine has a smooth, velvety texture. Rich, dense and sumptuous, it coats the tongue with opulent mellow flavour, coffee and butterscotch with hints of walnut and candied orange peel, but with a remarkable freshness from the current of lively acidity which runs through the palate into the extraordinary long finish. A wonderfully elegant, finely constituted and beautifully matured port delivering a surge of rich flavour with every sip.
Remoissenet 2019 Vosne-Romanee Magnum 1.5L
Rich red fruit notes of ripe cherries and wild strawberries intertwine with delicate floral undertones, evoking images of blooming rose petals and violet blossoms. Subtle hints of earth and spice, reminiscent of damp forest floor and exotic spices, add layers of complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the nose ripe red berries dance gracefully with hints of black tea, cinnamon, and clove, showcasing the wine's depth and complexity. There's a purity of fruit that shines through, reflecting the unique terroir of Vosne-Romanée. Well worth splurging on the large format of this wine.
