Croft 2011 Vintage Port
$169.99
Deep purple black colour. The complex seductive nose has the archetypal Croft opulence but displays impressive depth, background and reserves of aroma. A rich, powerful fruitiness provides the backdrop for heady scents of blossom and rock rose. Luscious ripe berry fruit flavour surges though the palate. The wine’s velvety texture is underpinned by taut, muscular, perfectly integrated tannins which provide stamina with an attractive firmness and vigour to the finish. More virile and structured than some recent Vintages from this classic house, the 2011 nevertheless displays all the rich ripe fruitiness and exotic scented character associated with the Croft house style.

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.
Drouhin 2018 Beaune Clos Des Mouches
An exceptional wine. The color is a bright pale yellow. The floral nose is complex: white lilac, white rose. Once more open, the fruity aromas emerge, which evolve towards intense notes of hazelnut and toasted almond. For those who have reached maturity, the nose surprises with its power, after about fifteen minutes of aeration: white truffle, citron, honey, nutmeg respond with a singular elegance. On the palate, the wine has liveliness. We feel the richness but also the structure and a certain minerality. The wine has fat without ever being heavy, it gives a beautiful fullness on the finish. We find the complexity and elegance of a Bâtard-Montrachet, harmoniously combined with the fullness of a Corton-Charlemagne.
Drouhin 2017 Chablis Gc Vaudesir
A rare wine, which is enjoyed on its own, as an aperitif. The color is of a crystalline purity, barely tinged with green. The nose reveals fresh aromas of flowers and fruits (lemon notes) with sometimes spicy notes of coriander. On the palate, an aromatic harmony that has elegance and character. The breadth of the Grand Cru and the iodized notes of the Kimmeridgian pebble. A remarkable persistence, long and complex.
Drouhin 2018 Volnay 1Er Clos Des Chenes
A charming wine. A beautiful ruby color, intense and bright. A floral nose dominated by violet, characteristic of this wine. Other delicate aromas such as rose jam and a light note of wild strawberry. On the palate, the attack is quite structured with noble and fine tannins, evolving towards a lovely velvety on floral, fruity and persistent notes.
Taylor Fladgate 1994 Vintage Port
Deep crimson just beginning to display some maturity on the rim. The explosive fruitiness of early youth is now more restrained as the wine begins to settle into maturity but the nose is still driven by impressive focused blackberry and blackcurrant aromas set off by the classic Taylor scent of violets. Full bodied and well structured palate delivering rich blackberry and cassis flavours with spicy, figgy, liquorice flavours evolving on the long and sumptuous finish.
