Drouhin 2018 Puligny Montrachet 1Er
A beautiful harmony, a precious wine. The color is golden and bright. The complex aromas of Puligny-Montrachet: honey, honeysuckle, fresh almond, evolving towards notes of lightly grilled dried fruits and spices. On the palate, a beautiful balance between freshness and softness. A few notes of tannins give structure to the building. The length in the mouth is exceptional, all in finesse and floral notes.
Cune 2017 Monopole Rioja Blanco Seco
A bright golden yellow color. Very expressive and intense on the nose, emphasizing its complexity since we can find chamomile flowers, dry fruits, bakery and mineral aromas. On the palate it is unctuous and velvety with a long, fresh and salty aftertaste. It is long and lively, perfect to pair with any type of food or drink alone.

Contino Gran Reserva is a harmonious wine, with a great balance between silkiness and roundness in the mouth. On the nose it is fragrant, reminiscent of ripe black fruit, with floral and balsamic notes that provide freshness. All well balanced with subtle toasted notes from its ageing in barrel. On the palate it is fine, subtle, with pleasant tannins and perfect acidity, which make it a persistent wine with a long finish.
Taylor Fladgate 1966 Vintage Port
Taylor Fladgate 2009 Vintage Port 375Ml
Inky black with purple rim. A nose of great purity opening on a vigorous note of concentrated black woodland fruit laced with raspberry and plum. Around this dense fruity core, with its attractive vibrancy and minerality, is a fragrant and complex aura of citrus fruit blossom and wild herbal scents of mint and lavender. Supported by a tight warp of thick sinewy tannins, the palate explodes with concentrated ripe black fruit flavour which surges into the long finish before being gripped in a tight tannic embrace.
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.
