    Black Tot Historic Solera Caribbean Rum (700ml)
    Caribbean,
    $159. 99
    Bottle
    $1919.88 Dozen
    ABV: 46.2%

    Elixir Distillers have been back at the blending table working on the latest addition to the Black Tot range. Named 'Historic Solera' and composed of rums aged in both tropical and European environments, the mix includes 40% 3-5 Year Old Guyana Pot/Column distilled rums, 35% 5 Year Old Barbados Pot/Column still blended rum, 20% Unaged Guyana Pot/Column blended rum and 5% 3 Year Old Jamaica High Ester Pot Still rum. Maturation took place in ex-bourbon barrels, seasoned with Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherries followed by further ageing in a traditional three-tier Solera process. They claim it gives the product a depth and consistency that cannot be replicated using seasoned casks or a vatting alone. The final rum was bottled non-chill filtered with no added sugar. This is set to remain part of Black Tot's core range, as the Solera system casks are never fully emptied, meaning the remaining rum continually ages and promises more depth and nuance as younger liquid is added to the increasingly aged stock. 46.2% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... The combination of proper Oloroso, esters and old oak gives this a decidely sour and slightly winey edge along with the dark fruits. Overall it leans firmly towards the sherry, creating a brandy-like style that could disappoint die-hard rum lovers, in my opinion. I think it is a rather unique product, but the rum is pushed to the background. - whiskynotes.be

    ...From the Chicago Rum festival, this was a highlight I was looking for early. Some folks were on the fence about this one but I enjoyed the sample a lot. This is not Masters Reserve standards but not far off. a much elevated Caribbean's finest offering. The blend and resulting flavors work well for me but what really makes a difference is the Sherry finish. Not too sweet, not too dry - just perfect. This feels like a cold Friday night by a warm fire pour - multiple pours. I'm a fan and not an outrageous price. - rumratings.com

    Zuidam Jonge Genever (Jenever) (1000ml)
    NETHERLANDS
    $84. 99
    Bottle
    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 35%

    This Jonge Genever is a special recipe developed by Patrick van Zuidam. The mash is composed of equal parts rye, corn and malted barley distilled three times after fermentation and then distilled again with a special blend of botanicals featuring juniper and liquorice as well as various other aromatic herbs and spices. This results in an unaged, fruity and fresh genever. 35% Alc./Vol.

    The Zuidam Distillery was started back in 1975 by Fred van Zuidam as a deliberately contained operation with one small copper still. It took more than a decade to forge their present reputation as the finest distillery in the Netherlands. In 1989 Zuidam expanded their warehouse to 600 square meters and one production line. Presently, both sons, Patrick and Gilbert, run the distillery under the watchful eyes of their parents. With four brand new copper stills, over 1000 oak barrels, four production lines and modern tank storage, Zuidam is now a state of the art operation, however, they have held on to one throwback from the past - Windmills. These are used to mill the grains destined for their Genevers and Malt Whisky. It not only preserves this iconic piece of Dutch heritage, but more importantly, the producers believe that the traditional slow grind causes almost no increase in the temperature of the grains and thus helps preserve the wonderful aromas.

    Glenlivet 21 Year Old The Sample Room Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $299. 00
    Bottle
    $3588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    Other reviews... Reformulated by Chivas Brothers cask expert Kevin Balmforth, this new edition is triple finished in first-fill oloroso sherry, fine-grained Tronçais oak cognac, and vintage colheita port casks. The nose has honey, malt, sherry, raisin, apricot, and toasted oak spice. The palate is indulgently rich, showing milk chocolate studded with raisins and nuts, dark fruits, ginger, and more raisin, the complex balance shifting subtly throughout from sherry to port. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    We last tried the regular Glenlivet 21 years old 'Archive' in… 2006, but we had really liked it back then (WF 87). Time to try a newer expression and check if it's kept its reassuring, very faintly smoky old-schoolness in this new guise that now includes a finishing in Cognac, Port and Oloroso… Colour: gold. Nose: I have the impression that it became more floral, kind of fresher, with more dandelions, also orange juice, also stewed mirabelles… But indeed this is not the old 'Archive'. I'm finding this extremely nice, but perhaps less old-school that it was earlier. Probably less core-quality sherry in there, and consequently, more vanilla. What's sure is that it's still an upper-class Speysider on the nose. Mouth: much maltier, much more on cakes straight from the oven, brownies, palo cortado… We're also finding a little mint, some camphory elements, angelica, aniseed, liquorice… While the lower strength doesn't seem be a problem here, on the contrary. There's even a little rancio in the background, and prunes. Finish: medium, perhaps even a little short, but some raisins and some coffee are flying to the rescue. A little black tea and just oak in the aftertaste. Comments: an excellent expression, one of the best within the official range, which got funnily modern on the nose, and extremely classical on the palate. I have the feeling that our score needs not be changed from that of the older 21 'Archive'. Having said that, quite intriguingly, they say that 'The brand recommends pairing with brie, green olive tapenade, and roasted almonds.' Roasted almonds? 87 points - whiskyfun.com

    Williams & Humbert Don Guido 20 Year Old Solera Special Pedro Ximenez Sherry (500ml)
    Jerez, SPAIN
    $109. 99
    Bottle
    $1319.88 Dozen
    ABV: 18%
    Closure: Cork

    Other reviews... Don Guido is the oldest Pedro Ximénez wine in the range of bodegas Williams & Humbert. It is one of three VOS / VORS sherries of the house (20+ years old in this case). Guy (Guido) Williams (1889-1959) was the son of Alexander Williams and Amy Humbert. His father had come to Jerez in the 1860s to work in the bodegas Wisdom & Warter, where he met his wife and later (1877) set up the Williams & Humbert business with his brother in law Arthur Humbert. Don Guido started working in the business just before the first World War while also becoming the viceconsul of Britain in Spain. The Pedro Ximénez grapes for this wine are dried in the sun for 15 days before being pressed, and the musts are immediately fortified to 9%. They are then decanted, filtered, fortified further to 18% and added to the solera where they stay for at least 20 years. The bottled wine contains around 380 grams of sugar per liter. Nose: full of prunes, dried figs and sweet raisins. Caramelized sugar, sticky toffee pudding and cocoa nibs. Very sweet of course, but nicely balanced with spicy notes (pepper, cinnamon) and light herbal notes. Its age also brings out a hint of polished oak. Mouth: concentrated with a low acidity and an impressive viscosity, yet it’s easy to drink. Chocolate coated raisins, dates and hints of Dutch liquorice. Some nutty notes and spices. A very light mentholated edge. Ends with a hint of Turkish coffee. - sherrynotes.com

    ...Rich and pruney, with bold, reduced black fruit aromas along with chocolate and spice. Compact and delicious in the mouth, with caramel, black coffee and other yummy, unctuous flavors. So thick it pours like motor oil, thus feel free to drink it like a wine or pour it on vanilla ice cream as you might a syrup. 92 points -  Michael Schachner, wineenthusiast.com

    Glenlivet 25 Year Old The Sample Room Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $599. 00
    Bottle
    $7188.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    The "Sample Room" is Glenlivet's innovation centre for testing novel cask combinations. It's also the name of a new series that replaces the previous 'Archive' label. Launched in 2022 and featuring whiskies designed to be deeper, richer and more experimental than the standard core range, the creative influence of barrel expert, Kevin Balmforth shifts the focus to innovative, cask-driven profiles with high-end luxury, multi-cask maturations.

    Other reviews... Beyond the complicated maturation of first and second-fill barrels, hogsheads, and butts, this whisky has been finished in PX and Tronçais oak cognac casks. Inky plums, aromatic roasted spice, stewed fruits, citrus peel, and cedarwood mark out a luxurious medley of aromas. Spectacularly jammy with thick sherry notes, damsons, cinnamon, dried fruit, ginger spices, apricot, and toasted oak with each sip. Who's got the cigars? 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    A finish in first-fill Pedro Ximénez Sherry and ex-Cognac casks made from oak from the Tronçais forest, top-notch wood! Colour: deep gold. Nose: it’s really all on patchouli and dried figs at first, then moves swiftly into plum tart dusted with cinnamon, followed by chestnut honey subtly laced with black pepper. I must say I’m rather fond of this nose, PX and Cognac or not. A beautifully crafted aromatic profile, very classy indeed. Mouth: same impression, this is very well put together, elegant and reasonably full of flavours of cake, honey and soft spices, with cinnamon leading the pack. Lovely touches of marzipan-stuffed dates and then vine peach jam, which may well be the Cognac speaking. Finish: not hugely long at this strength, but still balanced, drifting more towards chocolate filled with raisins. Comments: I really like this very elegant, gentle and flavourful Glenlivet, certainly more so than the old 25 ‘XXV’ from a good ten years ago. 88 points - whiskyfun.com

    Dumbarton, SCOTLAND
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Other reviews... Sharp with a pleasing citrus element, the peat soon takes command nudging the direction to a sweeter, spicier outlook. Just the odd third fill Bourbon cask has entered the fray here, dimming the lights slightly and tanging the finale. But there is just no escaping the honeycomb centre and the depth of that smoke which hangs off it. While the intensity of the malt blasts is astounding. Slightly tarnished gold, this... 91.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025/26

    ...Malt biscuits, runny caramel, blended black tea, melting butter sliding across a hot skillet, the leather uppers on new Oxfords, and a more enjoyable waft of peat smoke than expected. Clean, light flavors; lime jelly, root ginger, initially not overly sweet, then a boost of honey, caramelized fruits, with toffee and cocoa later still. It's pricked with hints of smoke throughout, with a long finish of pepper and other spices. Perfectly enjoyable anytime. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com

    Cut Hill Distillery Foundation Stone Double Cask Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
    South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $174. 99
    Bottle
    $2099.88 Dozen
    ABV: 47.3%

    Cut Hill Distillery is located on a 40-acre property in South Australia at Hindmarsh Valley next to Victor Harbour. The name is derived from an historic drystone wall. This is the very first release from the 'rebranded' distillery and it comes matured in locally sourced red wine casks, some seasoned with McLaren Vale Mead liqueur which adds fruit cake flavours to the palate. Spiced dates and pudding are overlaid and supported by dry red wine varietals in predominantly American oak, carefully aged in the drying conditions of the maritime micro-climate of the Fleurieu Peninsula. The producers notes describe aromas and flavours of toast, sultana, banana chips and a delicate, warming, medium long finish. 47.3% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... "Delicious freshly baked pastries such a cinnamon rolls and hot cross buns on the nose continue on to the palate with the addition of orange and creamy caramel fudge. The warm mouthfeel lingers for a short time on the finish." - Bronze Medal, World Whisky Awards 2026

    Loaded Barrel Missfire Gin (700ml)
    Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $74. 99
    Bottle
    $899.88 Dozen
    ABV: 42%

    Created using exotic botanicals including pineapple, mango, lemon myrtle, juniper, coriander seeds, rose petal, and orris root. Tropical, floral, and perfectly balanced, like all gin should be, this delivers, with a punch of mango, pineapple and lemon, followed by juniper, rose petal, and finally coriander seeds - for a sneaky and subtle kick. Designed to be enjoyed by gin drinkers and non-gin drinkers alike - great with tonic, in a gin mojito, or straight in a glass. Recommended with Fevertree Mediterranean tonic with a slice of orange to ensure maximum enjoyment. 42% Alc./Vol.

    Backwoods Red Gum Smoked Cask Expression Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml)
    Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $169. 99
    Bottle
    $2039.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48%

    There have been a handful of distillers who've experimented with native timbers. Backwoods is one of the latest efforts, with a single malt made from Australian-grown barley, smoked using native red gum wood, and matured for five years in American oak casks that previously held corn whisky. Fewer than 200 bottles have been produced, making it one of their smallest releases to date! 48% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... On the nose, it opens with perfumed smoke — soft, aromatic, and inviting — layered with rich honey, ripe cherry, and a gentle nuttiness. The palate is smooth yet expressive, where smoke and sweetness move in harmony. Fruity honey and stone fruit richness meet toasted almond and subtle tobacco, all carried by a buttery depth that gives the whisky its weight and texture. The finish is long and evolving — browned butter, soft oak, and lingering campfire smoke that slowly fades, leaving a warming, nostalgic impression.

    A traditional Polish elixir known for its distinctive herbal flavour. The name translates to "bitter stomach," reflecting its original use as a digestif. The recipe dates back to the early 20th century and includes aromatic herbs such as coriander, cinnamon and cloves giving this a rich, full-bodied taste that blends sweet and bitter notes.

    Auchentoshan 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Lowlands, SCOTLAND
    $250. 00
    Bottle
    $3000.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    Launched in 2008, triple-distilled and matured in x bourbon and sherry oak for over 18 years, this is now part of the core range. Expect a richer Auchentoshan with hints of ripe citrus and green tea. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... Aged in first and (mostly) second fill sherry casks. The sherry is kept in balance and does not mask Auchentoshan’s subtle beauty. The classic Auchentoshan creamy, grassy, freshness abounds, complemented by honey-soaked almonds, cereal grain, and an array of bright fruit (citrus, sultana, mandarin). Not as polished as the Auchentoshan 21 year old, but quite entertaining. (420 bottles for the U.S.) 43% Alc./Vol.

    2025 Chateau Laroque Magnum (1500ml) Pre-Arrival Offer
    Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $120. 00
    Bottle
    $1440.00 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews...
    Notes of dark berries, cassis, spices and licorice, mingled with delicately oaky nuances, preface the 2025 Laroque. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it’s built around a rich core of fruit that is framed by youthful, structured tannins and concludes with a taut, saline finish. While the bouquet shows a darker register, the palate remains fresh, lending the wine an elegant austerity that should integrate further with élevage.
    91-93 points
    Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Laroque is a gorgeous, super-elegant wine. Vibrant, salivating acids and beams of tannin are the first signs we are on the clay/limestone plateau in Saint-Émilion's Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes sector. Blood orange, mint, chalk and white pepper bleed into a core of red-toned fruit. Medium in body, with striking energy and tension, Laroque is positively stellar in 2025. This is another superb showing from the team led by Technical Director David Suire. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2055.
    93-95 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    The balance of savory fruit with fine tannins is already so attractive. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a refined finish.
    93-94 points
    James Suckling

    Another great success and value pick for Laroque. Really aromatically complex. Ripe and pristine black bramble berries on the nose, perfumed and nicely fragrant. Lovely aromatic purity. Smooth and so silky, smooth, svelte as Laroque does so well. Mouthwatering with bright acidity but so juicy – strawberry and cherry with a hint of cranberry and soft accents of dried herbs liquorice and wet stones. Grippy but so charming even at this point. Tension with freshness, perfectly polished and friendly. A yield of 31hl/ha with varying yields depending on the terroir from 25-45hl/ha. 3.40pH. Drink 2030-2048.

    Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $57. 99
    Bottle
    $695.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Belgrave reveals an attractive bouquet of dark berries, cassis, mulberries and spice, becoming more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it’s structured and tannic, with good length, concluding with a gently lead pencil–inflected finish. The gravelly terroir asserts itself more clearly than in recent vintages, lending the wine added finesse and a more defined mineral edge.
    91-93 points
    Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Belgrave is impressive. Aromatic, deep and layered, Belgrave has so much to offer. Blue-toned fruits, lavender, espresso and chocolate are front and center. The 2025 is juicy but quite structured. It appears to have a very bright future. Floral overtones extend the nuanced finish. Tasted two times. Drink 2030-2045.
    91-93 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    A precise and characterful wine with aromas of black currants, black cherries and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with a juicy finish. Terrific wine. Only 13% alcohol. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot.
    93-94 points
    James Suckling

    Juicy and lively, supple and fleshy with a strawberry juice vein – a little chalky still on the mid-palate – just losing some of the initial vibrancy but this has lots of tannin presence with a long, salty, cola grip. I like the depth and the frame, this is one that will benefit from ageing. Cool wild blueberry notes on the nose. Fully tannic but bouncy and soft, really cushioning with blueberry. I like the purity and focus, it’s a little light in terms of persistence but there’s balance and it'll round out. Harvest 3rd September until the 19th. 13%. A yield of 24hl/ha. Pénélope Godefroy now technical director across the Maison Dourthe portfolio. Drink 2033-2044.

    2025 Chateau Pape Clement Pre-Arrival Offer
    Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $170. 00
    Bottle
    $2040.00 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Named after its most famous owner, Pope Clement V, Chateau Pape Clement in Pessac Leognan makes both red and white wine from their 32.5 hectare vineyard. Vineyards for the red wine is planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, while the soils here are a complex mix of gravel and clay over a base of clay, limestone and sandstone. Maturation takes place in 100% new French oak, and while Bernard Magrez has refined the style since taking over winemaking duties the wines are still rich and lush in style with a concentration of ripe fruit.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Pape Clément is magnificent. The aromatics alone are captivating. Strong floral and savory notes soar from the glass. Lavender, rose petal, sage, mint and mocha lead into a core of wonderfully vibrant red/purplish fruit. Medium in body and deep, Pape Clément is positively stellar in 2025. The Cabernets and Petit Verdot add tons of aromatic presence. Élevage is 85% in barrique and 15% in foudre, with a relatively modest 33% new oak. Drink 2035-2065.

    A linear and very tight red with black currant, blackberry and hazelnut undertones. It's medium- to full-bodied with firm and racy tannins and a savory finish. Lots of tannins, but they are very fine textured and show outstanding length. 60% merlot, 36% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.
    95-96 points
    James Suckling

    Really floral on the nose, expressive with ripe red and black fruit, incense perfumed scents and a rich headiness with such aromatic purity. Supple and velvety, round and lively with quite a delicate style here where the focus is on the clarity of the blueberry fruit and the lifted aspects rather than fleshiness or power. Almost understated, a word not often used with Pape. A soft salty, wet stone and chalky aspect on the finish. Definitely fresh with lots of energy here. Elegant and precise with a soft chew on the finish and ripe fruit. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.68pH. A yield of 29hl/ha. Ageing 85% in barrels (1/3 new) and 15% in foudres. Harvest 3–25 September. Drink 2028-2045.

    Rich, vivid and textured, the 2025 Pape Clément Blanc is outrageously beautiful. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, tangerine peel, mint and white pepper soar from the glass. All the elements are so well balanced. This builds beautifully through to the intense, palate-staining finish. In 2025, the Blanc is quite simply magnificent—clearly one of the wines of the vintage. Drink 2030-2040.

    This is enveloping, with a broad textural element running throughout. It’s bright and incisive, yet with a blanket of fruit that extends across the palate. Flavorful and long. A blend of 56% sauvignon blanc, 30% semillon and 14% sauvignon gris. Aged in barrels, foudres, concrete, amphorae and stainless steel.

    Straw, ripe peach and some waxy lemon aspects with really floral and fragrant aromas on the nose – smells rich and enticing. Beautiful succulence with a dollop of pineapple, lemon and lime, creamy vanilla and peach plus a touch of oiliness that gives amplitude and width. I love the intensity and delicacy here, a wine you really want to drink, full of fruit yet crystalline, focused, mineral, saline and salivating with fruit purity and impressive length. Some enjoyable pineapple bitterness with struck match and oyster shell salinity. Gorgeous precision and clarity – really nothing out of place. A glass I wanted more of immediately. 3.14pH. A yield of 18hl/ha. Ageing 65% in barrels (1/3 new), 16% in foudres and 21% in stoneware, concrete and stainless steel. Drink 2028-2038.

    The 2025 Lacoste-Borie, a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc, planted at a lower density of 7,000 vines per hectare (versus 9,000 for Grand-Puy-Lacoste), is now more clearly defined and no longer conceived simply as a second wine. It reveals a gourmand, fresh bouquet of red berries, followed by a medium-bodied, juicy and elegant palate framed by fresh, velvety tannins and concluding with a long, ethereal and fruity finish. This is a refined and very appealing wine.
    91-93 points
    Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Lacoste-Borie is now labelled "Vignes du Parc", in reference to the fact that this comes from different soils and planting density, i.e. different to Grand Puy Lacoste. It has a vivacious bouquet with abundant redcurrant and strawberry scents, well defined, with just a light hint of bell pepper from the 8% Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, good tension, a seam of graphite that pins it down as Pauillac. Modest length. This has a pleasing rondeur that will make it approachable and charming, yet there is still fine substance. This would make a perfect introduction to the delights of Pauillac. Drink 2030-2050.

    This is concentrated and medium- to full-bodied, with detailed, linear fruit complemented by precise, focused tannins. Savory finish with a cedar note. Fine tannins. 68% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot and 8% cabernet franc.

    Beautiful vibrant colour in the glass with a pink rim. So fragrant with rose petals and red cherries – smells pristine, really clear and clean. Smooth and sappy with lovely succulence straight away and mouthwatering acidity. This is delicious, tastes like grape juice with grippy tannins and a chalky, graphite finish. Crunchy, delicate yet super flavourful, crisp with high acidity and lovely Cabernet freshness plus mint, aniseed and clove spice. Strength is there. A yield of 30hl/ha. New cellar with more precise plot selection. Small crop but good quality. Earliest ever Merlot harvest on 4 September, Cabernets picked 14-18th. Rain on 13/14th helped reduce alcohol a little in the Cabernets. Drink 2030-2036.

    The 2025 Fombrauge is stellar. Deep and pliant, with gorgeous texture, the 2025 has so much to offer. Dark cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, lavender, mocha and a kick of blood orange infuse the 2025 with tons of nuance. As with all the Magrez wines in 2025, the Fombrauge impresses with its purity and vibrancy. Drink 2033-2065.

    A tightly layered and structured red with blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Quite chunky and extracted, but it will come around nicely with all the fruit and phenolics. Wait and see. 94% merlot and 6% cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes.
    93-94 points
    James Suckling

    Oak elements on the nose with ripe blackcurrant fruit, dried herbs, black pepper, floral violets and peonies. Smooth and velvety, this is full of bright red berry fruit and softly chalky tannins. A really delicate style with precision at the fore - lots of purity and clarity with the acidity driving the wine forward. Polished and well controlled, still a little tight perhaps but all straightforward, giving width without any heaviness. I like this a lot. Fun, friendly, precise and controlled. Ends minty and stony. Clay and some gravel on the plateau. Some blockage. 94m, 6cf. 14.5%. 3.5pH. A yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing 75% in barrels (1/3 new) and 25% in a variety of vessels (stoneware, concrete and stainless steel). Drink 2029-2043.

    2025 Clos Haut Peyraguey (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer
    Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $44. 99
    Bottle
    $539.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Clos Haut-Peyraguey traces its origins to the seventeenth century, when it formed part of the same large Sauternes estate as Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey, before being separated in the late nineteenth century with the highest and best-situated parcels retained as Clos Haut-Peyraguey. The name Peyraguey, derived from the local word for hill, reflects its elevated position in the commune of Bommes, where the vineyard sits among the highest slopes of the appellation, close to Chateau d'Yquem. The 21-hectare estate, classified as a Premier Cru in 1855 and notable as the smallest of the top-ranked properties at the time, is planted predominantly to Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc on gravel, sand and clay soils. Vinification and ageing take place in French oak, with maturation in up to 50 percent new barrels, producing a classically structured Sauternes that reflects both its altitude and historic pedigree.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Clos Haut-Peyraguey is a very delicate, nuanced wine. Hints of passion fruit, crème brûlée, mint, chamomile, floral-infused honey and orange confit fill out the layers. Soft contours add to the wine's total feeling of finesse, shaping the regal mid-palate and finish. Drink 2030-2055.
    93-96 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    The 2025 Clos Haut-Peyraguey was picked in three passes between 19 September and 7 October with 140 g/l residual sugar. This is quite pure and delineated on the nose with vanilla pod, acacia honey, French patisserie and light almond scents. The palate is well balanced with a viscous entry. The acidity here is very well judged, the pure botrytis coming through and shaping the very focused finish. Maybe not the most complex Sauternes that I tasted in what was a fecund vintage, but one of the finest Clos Haut-Peyraguey I have tasted at this early juncture. Drink 2031-2059.
    93-95 points
    Neal Martin - Vinous

    Lots of botrytis character. Ample, unctuous and decadent, with medium acidity and a richly expressive, almost excessive palate underpinned by a subtle stony texture.
    93-94 points
    Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com

    Gorgeous aromas of orange, clementine and grapefruit with orange blossom, honey, straw and salted caramel vanilla. Juicy and so lively, lifted and almost sharp which perfectly counters the sugary mid-palate with buttery popcorn, butterscotch, pineapple and apricot fruit. I love the mineral, flinty finish. Sharp, bright, tangy and rich but ends clean and focused with impressive attention to detail and such focused purity on show. 140g/l residual sugar (one of the lowest in the appellation this year). A yield of 14hl/ha on 6ha. Ageing 90% in barrels (1/3 new) and 10% in others. Drink 2027-2047.

    2025 Chateau Malescot Saint-Exupery Pre-Arrival Offer
    Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $95. 99
    Bottle
    $1151.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    This Margaux third growth property has been bought and sold numerous times over its history, but it was after the purchase in 1955 by the Zuger family that the fortunes of the property took a turn for the good. At the time the property was in poor shape, with only 7 hectares under vine. Now the 23.5 hectares vineyard is planted to 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, and is easily delivering at its classified level and often more. Malescot-St.-Exupery should be on the radar for every lover of rich and expressive Cabernet. And perhaps the reason they aren’t as highly collected is that it’s really been just the last few years they’ve elevated their wines to new levels. The consistency of the wines from 2014-2019 is remarkable, and to date the wines have been extremely well priced.

    Other Reviews...
    A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Malescot St. Exupéry offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, plums, pencil shavings and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a sun-kissed core of fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it's a dramatic, generous, crowd-pleasing style of Margaux.
    92-94 points
    William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Malescot Saint Exupéry is classic Malescot—dark, powerful and quite brooding. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, tobacco and dried herbs are delineated with serious concentration and pure, unbridled power. This backward, massively tannic Margaux is a wine for readers who can be patient. Drink 2033-2045.
    93-95 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    A very structured red with black currants, blackberries and chocolate aromas. It’s full and flexing, with solid tannins and a long finish. Impressive. Better than 2022?

    James Suckling

    Woody and overly dry from the get go, very tannic and filling with an initial fruitiness that fades quite quickly. Seems they struggled here or it’s just super compact and tight right now as there is some cooling, fresh blueberry juice underneath. A bit potent and highly charged at the moment. Tight and clipped on the finish. Drink 2029-2040.

    Offering up notes of ripe cherries and cassis framed by toasty oak, the 2025 Couvent des Jacobins is medium- to full-bodied, rich and dense, with a concentrated core of fruit, plenty of structuring tannin and lively balancing acids. It's another strong performance for this 10.5-hectare Saint-Émilion property.

    The 2025 Couvent des Jacobins is a rich, sumptuous wine. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, cloves, incense and sweet oak are the signatures. This fleshy, explosive Saint-Émilion is quite the extrovert. It's a soloist, not an orchestra, but very delicious just the same. Tasted two times. Drink 2031-2045.

    Gorgeous deep and juicy plum and blackberry aromas with subtle spice: a superlative aromatic expression. The best expression I recall from this estate en primeur, hats off for the spice, the velvety tannins, and the balance. A wine that is thirst quenching insofar as you have depth but also lots of tension and energy. Cooler clay soils certainly played a role in the success as did the judicious tannin extractions, with integrated tannins from the 35% new oak. Drink 2029-2045.

    One of the superstars of Barsac, the wines are typically noted for their elegance and style rather than weight and richness. At 38.5 hectares in size, Coutet is one of the largest vineyards in the region, with plantings consisting of 75% Semillon, 23% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Fermentation takes place in barrel of which 50% are new with further ageing in oak for 18 months.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Coutet is a little more backward on the nose than usual, less giving. But there is wonderful purity of fruit, lemon thyme and clementine scents, touches of white flower. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous entry, playing with Coutet's trademark thread of acidity that emanates from the limestone soils. Quite minerally and spicy on the aftertaste, this is a marvellous Barsac from the Baly family. Drink 2031-2060.

    The 2025 Coutet is redolent of burnt sugar, crème brûlée, spice, passion fruit and candied ginger. Always quite rich texturally, Coutet blossoms beautifully on the palate with plenty of textural presence and body. It's a gorgeous wine by any measure. Tasted two times. Drink 2030-2045.

    2025 Chateau Doisy Daene (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer
    Barsac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $46. 99
    Bottle
    $563.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Once part of the original Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy Daene takes its name from Jacques Emmanuel Daane, an owner in the late nineteenth century who combined his surname with that of Doisy following the estate's division. After changing hands several times, the property was acquired in 1924 by the Dubourdieu family and gradually rebuilt and expanded to its current 18.2 hectares. The Barsac vineyard, located close to Chateau Climens, is planted predominantly to Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, on red sand, clay and limestone soils. Alongside its Sauternes, the estate is notable for producing one of the appellation's earliest dry white wines, bottled as Doisy Daene Grand Vin Sec, as well as the rare and highly selective l’Extravagance de Doisy Daene in exceptional vintages.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Doisy-Daëne has an intense nose with plenty of botrytised fruit, wonderful delineation, quite nuanced this year, with quince and light white peach scents intertwined with saffron. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, so pure and quite minerally, yet your senses are just awash with that layered botrytised fruit that lingers in the mouth. What a stunning Barsac. Drink 2032-2070.
    95-97 points
    Neal Martin - Vinous

    The 2025 Doisy-Daëne is aromatic, lifted and sculpted. Green apple, pear, jasmine and crushed rocks are finely delineated in an airy Barsac that has so much to offer. The 2025 can be enjoyed young for its freshness, but it clearly has the energy and pedigree to age into an exceptional sweet wine over time. Drink 2035-2065.

The Barsac vineyard, located close to Chateau Climens, is planted predominantly to Semillon with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, on red sand, clay and limestone soils. Alongside its Sauternes, the estate is notable for producing one of the appellation's earliest dry white wines, bottled as Doisy Daene Grand Vin Sec, as well as the rare and highly selective l’Extravagance de Doisy Daene in exceptional vintages.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Doisy-Daëne has an intense nose with plenty of botrytised fruit, wonderful delineation, quite nuanced this year, with quince and light white peach scents intertwined with saffron. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, so pure and quite minerally, yet your senses are just awash with that layered botrytised fruit that lingers in the mouth. What a stunning Barsac. Drink 2032-2070.

    Neal Martin - Vinous

    The 2025 Doisy-Daëne is aromatic, lifted and sculpted. Green apple, pear, jasmine and crushed rocks are finely delineated in an airy Barsac that has so much to offer. The 2025 can be enjoyed young for its freshness, but it clearly has the energy and pedigree to age into an exceptional sweet wine over time. Drink 2035-2065.

    Dense and creamy, with honey and spice aromas. Medium-bodied with a delicious pastry and spice character balancing the sweetness. Elegant and flavorful.

    Sweet and pure, this has real clarity with a lightly framed core of stone peach fruit and cool baked apple flavours. Lacks a touch of flesh. I like the cool lemon and lime, peach and pear but this isn’t super long. It’s refined with purity but want more. Ends stony and mineral which is nice. Drink 2027-2046.

    Boatrocker Ramjet Australian Whisky (500ml)
    Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $124. 99
    Bottle
    $1499.88 Dozen
    ABV: 45%

    A recurring theme in Boatrocker's spirits is that they're good at jamming in maximum flavour. This whisky started as an imperial stout, then was distilled and rested in a Pedro Ximénez cask for five years. Both the nose and palate are a saturate of rich malt and cherry-filled dark chocolate with controlled sherry input, the PX asserting itself at the finish, giving the aftertaste over to gentle tannins and wood spices. The balance is superbly keyed in. A sumptuous whisky you could have on regular rotation and rarely tire of. Even with water, the flavour impact remains remarkable. 45% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... layered and expressive — silky with notes of sherry, dark fruit, and the roasted malts from its stout beginnings. Complex, indulgent, and dangerously easy to drink — a whisky where beer and barrel truly come together.

    Loaded Barrel Small Batch Series Blood Orange Seasoned Cask Single Malt Australian Whisky (500ml)
    $99. 99
    Bottle
    $1199.88 Dozen

    First aged in virgin American oak, casks used here were then re-seasoned in-house with fresh blood orange peel and Port. No questions about the success of this experiment which sees a deft injection of dry, curacao-like flavours making for what feels like two whiskies in one: Following the initial peel rush, there are more distinct vanilla and cocoa notes, re-grouping as orange spice cake and bittersweet espresso dark chocolate in the finish. A profile that alludes to some Bourbons, yet hardly your typical single malt either. As delicious as it is difficult to categorise. 47.5% Alc./Vol.

    Boatrocker Four Grain Australian Whisky (500ml)
    Victoria, AUSTRALIA
    $74. 99
    Bottle
    $899.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    Distilled from an American-inspired four grain mash (51% corn and 31% rye, the remainder barley and wheat). Four and a half years in high-char virgin wood reveals a tapestry of genteel, bready sweetness and delicate, understated spicy, rye input, the flavours also conjuring hay bails and water biscuits. There's a subtle rise of sugars at mid palate, with balancing oak providing a chewy backdrop. Arguably more like a premium blended Scotch than a typical Kentuckian, this skilfully composed, middle-weight style is suited to easy drinking or classic cocktails. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... The blend delivers layers of texture, sweetness and spice, enhanced by a unique American yeast strain...it's beautifully smooth.  Expect balanced notes of vanillin and brown sugar, sweetness from the corn, gentle rye spice and a hint of mint on the nose. The finish is long and rounded - perfect neat or in your favourite whiskey cocktail.  Whiskey sour anyone?

    Isle of Arran, SCOTLAND
    $299. 00
    Bottle
    $3588.00 Dozen
    ABV: 46%

    "Seamless" - whiskyadvocate.com

    Clearly a different beast to the previous presentation, but just as good. The colour alone will be a major head turner for many - almost as dark as tea, but it’s the way sherry combines with Arran’s superb distillate that makes this one of the real highlights of the new collection. Given enough air contact, the nose develops into a stunning drier-styled sherry hit: fresh from the bag dried apricots, pears in wine, orange zest, Turkish delight and bitter dark chocolate, plus a deft sprinkling of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg complete a beautiful composition that carries through to the palate. Again, dried fruits rally, this time accenting prunes, apricots and fruit mince pie. There's a flash of succulence before the finish turns deliciously bittersweet with citrus peels, fig, light rancio, gingery warmth and late hints of fruit and nut chocolate. Only slightly let down by the length - otherwise a brilliant juxtaposition of flavours. You simply don't find many like this nowadays. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Very limited stocks.

    Other reviews... The interplay of floral and sherried notes creates an elegance that other scotches surely envy: candied rose petal, dried orange peel and apricot, sugared almond, raisin, nougat, and dark chocolate on the nose, then candied violet, raisin, date, milk chocolate, dried ginger, candied orange peel, and gingerbread on the palate. The maturity shows in tropical fruit flavors and a deep, probing complexity. It finishes with chocolate, coffee, candied rose petal, and tobacco-laced oak. Seamless.

    Arran 10 Year Old Arran Barley Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Isle of Arran, SCOTLAND
    $149. 99
    Bottle
    $1799.88 Dozen
    ABV: 50%

    Several distilleries are showing renewed interest in the varieties of barley they use. Arran joins that list with an 18,000-bottle limited edition made from Optic barley grown at Bellevue Farm by the Currie family. The variety has been used for malting in breweries and distilleries since the mid-1990s and is known for its biscuit-like aromas. Maturation is the same as the standard 10 year old (first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill sherry hogsheads), and it's very much in the style we're accustomed to (and love) from this distillery - full and creamy textured - with hints of tea biscuits and light orchard fruits on the nose, the flavours suggesting crisp red apples and light vanilla, bittersweet oak, cocoa and just a little more prickle from the 50% ABV. It's hard to say whether the Optic barley is better. What is evident is the wonderfully rounded way the malt oils-up and coats the tongue in a manner that distinguishes it from most young whiskies. For comparison, it's also similar to several higher-strength Glenfiddichs we've tasted. New batches will be released annually with variations depending on the crop type, cask types and volumes available. Bottled non chill-filtered.

    Other reviews... Nose: Some classic Arran notes. No loud cask notes which is nice - gives the distillate more space to shine. Taste: Feels balanced, with a nice, thick structure for a 10yo. I tried this as a starter at a whisky festival and it was absolutely perfect for that purpose. The bottle cost seems reasonable compared to the quality. Finish: The barley stays for a while. There is a Glenfiddich-like shy touch of smoke in the back. - whiskybase.com

    Isle of Arran, SCOTLAND
    $399. 00
    Bottle
    $4788.00 Dozen
    ABV: 54.4%

    Distilled from malted barley peated to 20PPM, the whisky spent its full 15 year maturation in a host of oloroso sherry butts sourced from a family run producer in Jerez. It offers a rich, fruity profile laden with sweet peat, citrus, and spice. 4024 bottles. 54.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

    Other reviews... When you drink Arran regularly, this whisky will provide you with something really left-field, and that is something to be thankful for. I like seeing distilleries trying stuff and making it work. The peat and the sherry work together well, and even though I do miss some red fruits in the mix, the other elements more than make up for it. Recommended whisky here! - whiskybase.com

    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Cork

    Crafted by a prestigious McLaren Vale estate with 170 years of South Australian winemaking history, this Nicks Secret Cabernet carries serious pedigree. Going back 6 generations, the family is considered one of the industry's pioneers.

    A sturdily built, richly fruited McLaren Cabernet that delivers serious value for money at just $16.99

    Matured for 15 months in new and aged French oak puncheons and hogsheads. Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Expressive blackcurrant and liquorice scents are delivered with impressive intensity trailed by some spicy vanillin cedar, earthy tobacco, dark chocolate and mint notes. Rich, mouth filling blackcurrant, dark chocolate and liquorice fruits are married to earthy black olive, cedary tobacco and spicy mint characters. Firmly structured, a robust tannin framework imparts some gentle grip across the long, sturdy finish.
    Drink over the next 6-8 years.

    Other Reviews….
    The team have not named this wine in honour of some Downton Abbey-like hunt where gentlemen in tweed slaughter the resident population of partridge and quail. Rather, the reason is a little more prosaic. The property is on the corner of Rifle Range and Hunt Roads in McLaren Vale. No doubt the local poultry are very grateful. The wine spent nineteen months maturing in French oak hogsheads, 20% of which were new. Under cork. Black/maroon with a very dark blood red rim, the nose reveals aromas of tobacco leaves, cassis, chocolate, mushrooms, spices, beef stock and blackberries. There are hints of freshly turned earth as well. Excellent oak integration ties everything together and we can see the early signs of complexity emerging. The palate is all about chocolate. The wine is well structured with serious length through to very fine tannins. Absolutely delicious, there is much to love here. It will surely provide immense pleasure for at least twenty years. It would probably pair very nicely with either partridge or quail, if there are any left. Drink 2026-2046.

    Ken Gargett – WinePilot.com

    Saturated, glass-staining purple colour; deep-set black fruit on the nose coupled with tidy oak that's been well handled. The wine is full-bodied and concentrated, the fruit flavour well matched by firm and mouth-coating tannins. This has power and pizzazz, driving very long through a firm, authoritative finish. Smashing cabernet that will age superbly.

    Huon Hooke – The Real Review

    This is an impressive example of McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2023 vintage. There’s a strong varietal blackcurrant on the nose with a slightly leafy overtone and a little black olive nuance. The palate carries plenty of richness and weight with a chalky thread of tannin and plenty of oak playing a supporting role. It’s balanced and poised, with good flavour intensity that extends effortlessly into a long, focused finish. It’s a pretty smart wine. Drink 2026-2041.

    The 2025 Grand Mayne reveals a fresh, expressive bouquet of dark berries, cassis and mulberries, becoming more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s supple and enveloping, with a velvety texture and a refined, well-defined tannic frame, concluding with a fresh, elegant finish marked by dark berry nuances. This is a more restrained, finely tuned expression than in previous vintages, aligning closely with the estate’s recent stylistic evolution.

    The 2025 Grand Mayne is impressive. Dark, layered and vibrant, Grand Mayne has so much to offer. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, licorice, mocha and a kiss of French oak all meld together in the glass. This big, broad-shouldered Saint-Émilion displays very fine balance and tons of character.

    Beautiful aromas on the nose, blackcurrants and dark chocolate. Fleshy and ripe while being so juicy and lifted, great energy and focus here, still touches of oak in the coffee, tobacco and clove elements, but the fruit has purity and this retains a much brighter, more focused expression than in some previous EP samples. Crunchy, crisp, lively yet still carrying that core of power and drive. If anything still a bit bitter on the finish but this will settle. 3.55pH. Ageing 18 months, 40% new barrels. Drink 2029-2045.

    Aromas of dark berries, cherries and plums, mingled with subtle hints of licorice and violet, introduce the 2025 Château Mangot, a medium- to full-bodied, layered and velvety wine that's intensely flavored, vibrant and penetrating. Mangot has enjoyed a formidable run in recent years, but the 2025 gives every indication of ranking alongside the 2022 as the estate's best to date.

    $42. 99
    Bottle
    $515.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Once part of the large Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy-Vedrines was named after one of the early owners of the estate after Doisy was separated into three properties in 1851. Chateau Doisy-Vedrines is now owned by the Casteja family who also own Chateau Trotte Vieille in Saint-Emilion and Chateau Batailley in Pauillac among their portfolio. The vineyard is planted to 80% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle, and along with their grand vin they produce a second wine under the Chateau Petit Vedrines label. Interestingly they choose to label their wines as Sauternes, rather than Barsac as with the two other Doisy properties.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Doisy-Védrines was picked between September 17 and October 13 over 11 days and three tries. It does not have the purity and intensity of the Doisy-Daëne, well defined, but it just needs a little more expression at this stage. The palate is bright and viscous on the entry, a little fatter than Daëne as usual, with commendable length on the finish. It is just seeking a bit more complexity at the moment; indeed, a second bottle delivers a little more tension. 140 g/l residual sugar. Drink 2030-2055.

    The 2025 Doisy-Védrines is an infant. Orchard fruit, citrus and floral notes are nicely lifted. This shows notable power and textural resonance. I imagine the 2025 will drink well with a few years in bottle, by which time some of the more incisive contours will have softened. That said, this is a Barsac that shows exceptionally well with age. Drink 2035-2065.

    Juicy and lively, this has a real kick to it with the acidity at the fore – tangy lemon and pineapple before slowly creamy, vanilla, apricot and pear come in. I like the style, it’s upfront and focused, less overtly sweet than some bit with real energy and grip. Great stuff here, so approachable, so enjoyable on a summer’s day. Mouthwatering and alive. Still a little spiced and angular but this will soften. Drink 2027-2046.

    2025 Chateau Doisy-Vedrines Pre-Arrival Offer
    Barsac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $85. 99
    Bottle
    $1031.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Once part of the large Doisy estate founded in 1704, Chateau Doisy-Vedrines was named after one of the early owners of the estate after Doisy was separated into three properties in 1851. Chateau Doisy-Vedrines is now owned by the Casteja family who also own Chateau Trotte Vieille in Saint-Emilion and Chateau Batailley in Pauillac among their portfolio. The vineyard is planted to 80% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle, and along with their grand vin they produce a second wine under the Chateau Petit Vedrines label. Interestingly they choose to label their wines as Sauternes, rather than Barsac as with the two other Doisy properties.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Doisy-Védrines was picked between September 17 and October 13 over 11 days and three tries. It does not have the purity and intensity of the Doisy-Daëne, well defined, but it just needs a little more expression at this stage. The palate is bright and viscous on the entry, a little fatter than Daëne as usual, with commendable length on the finish. It is just seeking a bit more complexity at the moment; indeed, a second bottle delivers a little more tension. 140 g/l residual sugar. Drink 2030-2055.

    The 2025 Doisy-Védrines is an infant. Orchard fruit, citrus and floral notes are nicely lifted. This shows notable power and textural resonance. I imagine the 2025 will drink well with a few years in bottle, by which time some of the more incisive contours will have softened. That said, this is a Barsac that shows exceptionally well with age. Drink 2035-2065.

    A supple, restrained wine with delicate aromas of baked apricots and honey. Medium-bodied with a seductive character. Attractive finish.

    Juicy and lively, this has a real kick to it with the acidity at the fore – tangy lemon and pineapple before slowly creamy, vanilla, apricot and pear come in. I like the style, it’s upfront and focused, less overtly sweet than some bit with real energy and grip. Great stuff here, so approachable, so enjoyable on a summer’s day. Mouthwatering and alive. Still a little spiced and angular but this will soften. Drink 2027-2046.

    2025 Chateau Guiraud (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer
    Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $66. 99
    Bottle
    $803.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Ranked one step down the Sauternes appellation pyramid from the legendary Chateau d'Yquem is Chateau Guiraud. The wine is produced from certified organic vines with an average age of about 20-30 years old. The cepage is 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Ageing takes place in French oak for approximately 18 months.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Guiraud is well defined on the nose, with plenty of botrytised fruit, hints of saffron and apricot blossom, quite nuanced compared with some of its peers. The palate is well balanced, with a tangy, mellifluous entry. Bright acidity counters the richness of this Guiraud, a touch of spice towards the lingering and powerful finish that fans out with style. This is a great Guiraud from winemaker Sandrine Garbay. Drink 2032-2060.
    95-97 points
    Neal Martin - Vinous

    The 2025 Guiraud balances power and energy like very few Sauternes can. Orange confit, passion fruit, crystallized ginger and exotic white flowers fill out the layers. Silky contours are a sign of total finesse. Impeccable. Guiraud is one of the most elegant Sauternes readers will come across. Drink 2033-2065.

    Elegant and balanced, with quince, pastry and spice aromas. Medium-bodied with a silky texture. Refined and charming, with controlled sweetness and a succulent spice note bringing vitality toward the finish.

    Sweet and luscious, a lovely lick of pineapple and mango straight away – ripe, sweet, but also salty the two giving a nice interplay between power and concentration and brightness and energy. Grippy and fun with an approachable element as well as being signature Sauternes from a great vintage. Sweet candied lemons, pineapple chunks and wet stones. Yummy. Drink 2027-2055.

    Bottle
    $659.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 Rayne-Vigneau has a backward nose with dried honey, yellow plum and almond scents, perhaps less forward than some of its peers. The palate is well balanced with a very pure entry, bright acids and a gorgeous, tender yet paradoxically powerful finish. Oh yes! Drink 2030-2059.
    95-97 points
    Neal Martin - Vinous

    The 2025 Rayne-Vigneau is a wild, exotic wine. Orange confit, burnt sugar, crème brûlée and candied ginger build in an ample, creamy, rich, luscious Sauternes. This is beautifully done. Extroverted tropical and spice overtones emerge on the close. Drink 2030-2045.
    92-94 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    This is rich yet contained, with nothing massive or cloying, but very well put together. Medium- to full-bodied with a subtle savory undertone.

    Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com

    Mirabelle plum, dried apricot and orange blossom on the nose, smells lovely. Crisp and cool, not overly sweet, still a little tight and focused all in one line rather than enveloping the mouth. I like the freshness, it’s a nice counter to the sweetness with salted caramel, pineapple and mango as well as peach and apple too but maybe missing a touch more flesh at this point. Still, it’s super refined with real elegance and detail. Clean and clear, grippy with some honeyed sweetness. I like this a lot. Drink 2027-2048.

    The 2025 Sigalas Rabaud has a nicely detailed bouquet with plenty of botrytised fruit. The palate is fresh and bright on the entry, very pure, with quince, peach and apricot notes. Just a little oak to be subsumed towards the finish (at the moment it imparts a touch of heaviness), but I am sure it will eventually come good. Excellent. Drink 2031-2055.

    Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com

    Friendly and upfront, a lovely lick of quite bright acidity before turning much more mineral with flint, wet stones, struck match and a cool, crisp graphite edge. Very pure, very gentle, not overly sweet with mouthwatering acidity but hidden behind the complexity of flavour and layers of texture – spice, bitterness, freshness and fruit. I like it but still seems quite quiet for now. Drink 2027-2043.

    2025 Chateau La Tour Blanche (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer
    Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
    $61. 99
    Bottle
    $743.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Chateau La Tour Blanche takes its name from the founder of the estate, Jean Saint Marc du Latourblanche, and is one of the most respected producers in Sauternes. The 40 hectares of vines used for their grand vin are planted in one large parcel with a prime location close to the Ceron river, and the soils are a mix of gravel, clay, sand, and limestone. Planted here is a combination of 83% Semillon, 12% Sauvignon Blanc, and an unusually high proportion of Muscadelle at 5%. The Semillon is aged in 35% new, French oak barrels for 16 to 18 months, while the Sauvignon Blanc and the Muscadelle are aged for 16-18 months in stainless steel vats before blending and bottling.

    Other Reviews...
    The 2025 La Tour Blanche has a more primal bouquet, tightly wound at first, then opening with beeswax and light apricot scents. The palate is wonderful, with plenty of vivacious botrytised fruit, energy and tension. It is weighty as usual with this Sauternes, but there is a countervailing sense of energy through to the finish. Excellent. Drink 2031-2060.

    Bottle
    $719.88 Dozen
    Closure: Cork

    Other Reviews...
    Notes of dark berries, cassis, spices and licorice, mingled with delicately oaky nuances, preface the 2025 Laroque. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it’s built around a rich core of fruit that is framed by youthful, structured tannins and concludes with a taut, saline finish. While the bouquet shows a darker register, the palate remains fresh, lending the wine an elegant austerity that should integrate further with élevage.
    91-93 points
    Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

    The 2025 Laroque is a gorgeous, super-elegant wine. Vibrant, salivating acids and beams of tannin are the first signs we are on the clay/limestone plateau in Saint-Émilion's Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes sector. Blood orange, mint, chalk and white pepper bleed into a core of red-toned fruit. Medium in body, with striking energy and tension, Laroque is positively stellar in 2025. This is another superb showing from the team led by Technical Director David Suire. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2055.
    93-95 points
    Antonio Galloni - Vinous

    The balance of savory fruit with fine tannins is already so attractive. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and a refined finish.

    Another great success and value pick for Laroque. Really aromatically complex. Ripe and pristine black bramble berries on the nose, perfumed and nicely fragrant. Lovely aromatic purity. Smooth and so silky, smooth, svelte as Laroque does so well. Mouthwatering with bright acidity but so juicy – strawberry and cherry with a hint of cranberry and soft accents of dried herbs liquorice and wet stones. Grippy but so charming even at this point. Tension with freshness, perfectly polished and friendly. A yield of 31hl/ha with varying yields depending on the terroir from 25-45hl/ha. 3.40pH. Drink 2030-2048.
