This wine opens with notes of plum and boysenberry. The bright palate is supported by well-integrated tannins and a natural tartness resulting from their estate vineyard’s location in the relatively cool Oak Knoll District of the Napa Valley.

This forward drinking Pinot shows dried cranberry/berry fruit with earth and tobacco notes. The body is medium weight yet carries immense waves of flavours, including sarsaparilla, pomegranate and smoke. A well-integrated wine that is superb now. A wonderful accompaniment to thick, oak-grilled pork chops, wild game, or coq au vin.

This magnificent producer needs no introduction.

In a pale yellow colour shines a joyous foam that is subtle and persistent, enhancing the soft, youthful fragrance. The characteristic aroma ranges from fruity to floral. It is a soft wine, at once velvety and dry thanks to its balanced acidic notes. Splendidly balanced, it is undoubtedly a product of superior quality. The surprising freshness that tickles as it lingers, makes this wine suitable for all occasions. A fine aperitif that is also excellent with shellfish.

A really delicious wine which should replace cheap Prosecco the world over. Lovely sweet-floral fruits on the nose, and a touch of toasty / biscuit character. Dry on the palate, but not too Brut, tasting of apples and fresh lemons.

Oremus is responsible for some of the sleekest and most elegant modern new-wave Tokajis to come from the historic Hungarian region. This is a glorious confection of finely oaked, rich marmaladey intensity with undertones of dried apricot, honey and raisin, all beautifully balanced by the typical acidity of the Furmint grape, which is very much the hallmark of the style.

Deep gold in colour with an expressive nose of ripe peaches, honey and orange peel. The palate is sweet with classic notes of honeysuckle, dried apricots and figs with a lovely fresh acidity and an exceptionally long finish

Very sweet, very intense, very good indeed.

Recioto Giovanni Allegrini is deep ruby red in color and has a spicy bouquet with hints of dried fruit. It is full and velvety on the palate.

This beautiful Ice Wine Cuvée is vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged for about 16 months. For making this wine, the frozen grapes are pressed. This way only the juice and sugar come out of the grapes. This results in a very sweet and aromatic wine. Bright golden yellow. The bouquet shows fine herbs and delicate nuances of stone fruits and lychee. Notes of pineapple offers exotic nuances in the finish combined with a touch of honey.

A tasty new kind of aromatized dessert wine. The aromatics of the scented Geranium meld gracefully with the Orange Muscat, and the herbal minty taste of Damiana is a nice adjunct to the orange apricot tea Essensia flavors.

Tokaj Classic Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos, botrytised, sweet, dessert wine of Hungary. This truly classic dessert wine made from grapes affected by noble rot has notes of orange, oriental spice and apricot. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by taught acidity which means it's never cloying. The 5 Puttonyos refers to the traditional method of determining how sweet the wine would be - baskets (puttonyos) of the botrytised grapes would be added to the must, and the more that were added, the sweeter the result would be. Nowadays the classification is given by the residual sugar left, ranging from 3-6 Puttonyos, 6 being the sweetest. This cuvee is made from 50% Furmint, 30% Lindenleaf and 20% Muscat, with 153 g/l residual sugar. This is top quality Tokay from a well known and sought after producer. Try with fruit tarts or foie gras.

Pale straw color. Soft and delicate aroma. Fruity palate with a long, fresh finish.

Violet glints appear in this wine’s intense ruby red hue. The nose reveals aromas of fruits of the forest, spices and figs. On the palate, you will find Niepoort’s quintessential structure and elegance. It sets off on sweet notes but finishes dry, with a surprisingly assertive acidity. This Late Bottled Vintage is one of the few wines in its category that is bottled with a real cork instead of a bar top closure. At Niepoort, this means that this Port can already be enjoyed in its youth or left to mature in the bottle for many years.

Sourced from a single vineyard this is made with the rare Tinta Negra and makes an extraordinary wine. Almonds, barley sugar and seville orange all come into play on the lively palate. The sweetness is nicely counter balanced with mouth watering acidity. A real treat and really rather special.

With a brilliant dark red appearance and good depth on the rim, the wine exhibits aromas of cherries and dark plums along with a fine minty, liquorice aroma. On the palate, well integrated tannins dominate along with superbly evolved fruit and good length. A vibrant wine starting to show some bottle age. It is certainly drinking beautifully now but it can be aged for several decades.

Golden in colour, this exhibits a complex aroma of dried fruits dominated by orange peel and dried figs, as well as walnuts and roasted almonds. A floral touch completes the aroma. On the palate it is very fine and balanced, with a vibrant acidity balancing it´s sweet character, interacting with the fortifying spirit to perfection and giving the wine a superb structure.

Krohn has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its Colheita Ports. These single year Ports, matured for a long time in wood, develop the mahogany colour of old Tawnies, alongside complex aromas and flavours and a silky texture.

One of the great grapes of Madeira. This 10YR Verdelho has a lovely tangy apricot core , intermingled with some thrilling acidity that is the hallmark of Barbeito Madeiras. Keeps for an age in the fridge once opened, makes for a very stimulating aperitif. Off dry, but real complexity here, highly commended.

The Bioma Crusted originates from the Pisca vineyard, as for the Bioma Vintage Port. This ancient vineyard (vinha velha) has been converted to organic viticulture and its low yields always result in amazing port wines that showcase the terroir and the vintage. In years where a Vintage Port declaration isn't possible, the wine is released as a crusted port.

Driest of the styles, Sercial is a cerebral Madeira. Seville orange, fig, dates and prunes compete for attention on the palate . The finish is long, stimulating and rewarding. Superb example.

Exceptional vintage,widely declared, which will develop over many years to come.
