Glenlivet 18 Year Old Batch Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

"...a long time since I encountered a Glenlivet this complex and complete at any age: memorable." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26
Eighteen years in first and second-fill American oak with a portion of ex-sherry casks has delivered a quintessential Glenlivet that's neither too heavy nor too light. Comparing it to one of Scotland's greatest actors, whiskyadvocate.com described an earlier bottling as "mature, rich and sexy.'" Glenlivet 18's new presentation is sleeker, more contemporary, and comes sub-titled 'Batch Reserve'. Exactly what that means and why it's now bottled at 40% isn't clear, however the slight drop in ABV from its previous incarnation has not impeded the quality. Recent tastings agree, this is pretty special stuff, with Jim Murray in particular reaching for superlatives. A regal Speysider from whisky's heartland that deserves a place in your cabinet. Stock up while the price is right!
Other reviews... Sumptuous, with the malt really planting the flag, despite the close but lush intentions of the (heather) honeyed spices... A stunning assembly of the most delicately nuanced flavours which expand exponentially as it warms. It has been a long time since I encountered a Glenlivet this complex and complete at any age: memorable. 95 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26
Gold - 96 points - International Spirits Challenge 2026
Dark gold with copper highlights. Powerful aromas have a rich malt character with plenty of spice and light peaty notes. Follows through with a surprisingly silky palate where sweet caramel flavors emerge giving way to spicy oak and lingering peat on the finish. 92 points (Exceptional) - tastings.com

Fernet Italiano Digestif Liqueur (700ml)

ITALY
$64. 99
Bottle
$779.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The health-enhancing properties of Fernet have made it the favoured "digestivo" at dinner tables across the world; traditionally served straight up at the end of a meal, it aids in digestion and cleanses the palate. This versatile liqueur can also be used to spike espressos to make the famous "caffè corretto" (literally, "spiked coffee"). In recent years, as a new generation has discovered this invigorating liqueur, many have begun to serve it with cola, fruit juice, grenadine, energy drinks and even beer! 40% Alc./Vol.

Old Pulteney 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Highlands, SCOTLAND
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

This newly presented Pulteney replaces the fabulous 17 year old. Aged in bourbon and second-fill American oak casks, followed by a period in first-fill Spanish oak oloroso butts, from a 20ml sample the aromas are shy, yielding suggestions of toffee apple, vanilla malt and "a hint of sea air", as the brand is known for. It's pretty spot on in terms of a classic Pulteney profile with a delicious integration of apple and pear fruitiness alongside beeswax, vanilla and a flurry of spices. Salted crackers and more beeswax carry through the aftertaste making for some Clynelish-like moments, although it's less full and succulent than the slightly older age statement it replaces. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... More than a night cap... one you should definitely take to bed with you. 95.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2020
...Sherry is immediately obvious on the nose, with fresh-baked fruitcake aromas, honey, and allspice. The palate is sweet and spicy, with Jaffa orange segments dipped in sea salt, toffee, and dark chocolate. Orange and oak in the medium-length finish. 89 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith (Winter 2018)
...It’s meant to have been double matured in bourbon and Spanish, but it’s unclear whether that was successively or parallelly. Not that we desperately need to know. Colour: gold. Nose: really very lovely, not smoky this time, naturally, but really coastal, with the much advertised sea air well in place, while a bready side keeps it cereally. Sour dough, Ethiopian bread (yep, just tried that, it’s very fermentary). A little mint too. Like this nose a lot. Mouth: very good, just the oak’s a little too spicy/gingery for me, which gives it an ‘infused’ side that’s also to be seen elsewhere, especially at all the new crafties that are using new small casks. All the rest is pretty perfect, fresh, coastal indeed, bready, with hints of liquorice allsorts that will please all the kids within ourselves… Finish: medium, on just the same notes. Comments: very good. Not exactly my cup of malt because of the modern oak spices, but very good nonetheless.

2017 Inglenook Rubicon

Napa Valley, California, UNITED STATES
$370. 00
Bottle
$4440.00 Dozen

Cellar: 10 - 15 Years (2030-2035)

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

While the history of the Inglenook estate dates back to 1873, the modern rejuvenation of the property began when Francis Ford Coppola purchased a portion of the vineyards in 1975. He vowed to reunite the various parcels of land, along with the historic Chateau, and restore the reputation Inglenook enjoyed earlier in its life. With input from esteemed Bordeaux consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, and Philippe Bascaules (Chateau Margaux), Inglenook is now firmly one of the leading properties in Napa Valley.

Inglenook’s flagship wine the Rubicon is made from a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Impenetrable inky black in colour with a deep bright dark red black tinged hue. Ripe blackcurrant and liquorice scents are sent sailing out of the glass followed by hints of blueberry, vanillin cedar, subtle dark chocolate, traces of scorched earth and spicy dried herbs. Full in body yet possessing plenty of the estates hallmark freshness, rich blackcurrant, dark to black cherry and liquorice fruits adorn the palate, carried by a polished yet firm matrix of tannins. Tightly knit finish with elements of vanillin cedar, subtle dusty earth, faint black olive and spice also evident. Concludes long and very refined.
Cellar 10-15 years.
Alc. 14%

This shows a wonderful core of ripe fruit with berry and currant character. Hints of spices and tobacco. Some cedar. Full-bodied, creamy and rich. Fresh. Beautiful length. Drink after 2022, but already so delicious.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon is another wine that has turned out very well. In this vintage, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Rubicon aren't that materially different. Red fruit, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, menthol and licorice all develop in the glass. Here, too, I am quite impressed with the wine's freshness.

Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia Colleccion Extra Anejo 100% Agave Tequila (750ml)

Jalisco, MEXICO
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

ABV: 40%

* Presentation subject to change without notice.
First released in 1995 to celebrate the company's 200th birthday, José Cuervo Reserva de la Familia pioneered the category of extended age Tequila. Matured for a minimum of two years in a combination of American and French oak barrels, some of the reserve components are up to thirty years old. The tequila itself which has been described as "rich and brandy-like" doesn't change much from year to year. And just as consistency has become its hallmark, so too has been its high praise. What does change annually is the packaging, with a different Mexican artist making each release a collector’s item.
Tasting note: [20ml sample] Pale copper gold. The bouquet combines blanco-like vibrancy with the kind of depth you'd expect from XO cognac - brine, charred capsicum, smoldering eucalyptus, beeswax, vanilla and menthol... with air contact, it also presents a drier, woody aspect including cigar box, cedar and white pepper. Likewise the silky delivery matches sappy agave and butter menthol lozenge-like flavours against drying astringency. It's delicate and somewhat fleeting through the finish, trailing off with black tea, potpourri, white pepper, hints of grilled pineapple, vanilla and trace beeswax. The overall effect strikes a fine balance between young and old. 2017 edition tasted. 40% Alc./Vol.

This limited edition spritz inspired gin is layered with quintessential Summer flavours, perfectly suited to the laid-back nonchalance that comes with the warmer weather.

Expect clean citrus characters of lemon and lime emphasised by the grape's acidity, followed by grassy herbal notes of native sage and a sweet floral finish of honey and passionfruit. 44% Alc./Vol.

Kavalan Distillery Select No.2 Single Malt Taiwanese Whisky (700ml)

TAIWAN
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

The entry level 'Distillery Select' Series sits beneath Kavalan's existing 'Solist' and 'Rare Sherry' whiskies and comes presented in a bottle shape inspired by Taiwan’s architectural pride, Taipei 101 - one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. Each whisky in the range is created to showcase a different facet of Kavalan’s character. For this second expression, the Master Distiller emphasises floral and herbal notes.
Other reviews... Unusually for Kavalan, they have here made the rare error of selecting casks which tend to cancel each other out rather than ensuring complexity.

Mezcal Vago Elote Mezcal (700ml)

Oaxaca, MEXICO
$169. 99
Bottle
$2039.88 Dozen

Tasting note: [49.9.% ABV batch tasted from a 20ml sample] Made by Aquilino García López at his palenque in Candelaria Yegolé, Oaxaca. Garcia infuses the first and second distillation with toasted corn from his own farm which "smooths the edges off the Espadin" and adds a gentle sweetness. Complex and classic with smokey Mezcal aromas of tyre rubber, oil rag, baked citrus, brine and plantain, this shows fabulous balance in a high ABV, creamy attack, ending oily, peppery with tobacco ash, wax and impressive length. Approx. 1000 bottles produced.
Other reviews... that roasted corn definitely shines through on the nose and palate. Mesquite and dust on the nose, with some cheese funk and mint hiding among the corn notes. More corn on the palate with leather, dirt, and cotija cheese. Funky and delicious. Aquilino was a master for sure. Descansa en paz Aquilino. 4/5 stars - mezcalreviews.com

2016 Peay Vineyards Estate Scallop Shelf Pinot Noir

California, UNITED STATES
$140. 00
Bottle
$1680.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.6%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate Scallop Shelf comes across as a bit shy in the way it speaks with a hushed voice. Inward and not especially expressive, the 2016 doesn't have either the depth of the Ama not the energy of the Pomarium. Instead, the Scallop Shelf lies somewhere in the middle, with a less clearly defined personality than the other Pinots in the range.

The 2018 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese is very intense and aromatic on the dense and voluptuous nose. Lush and creamy on the palate, this is a generous and dense, lush and persistent Brücke Spätlese with remarkable freshness and piquancy. It's pretty straight and piquant, with remarkable finesse and mineral tension. Tasted in July 2019.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Oct 2019)

White peach, quince and red raspberry give an impression on the nose and the creamy, polished palate of both jellied and fresh fruits. An influx of lime serves for welcome, animating brightness, and the penetratingly sustained, mouthwateringly salt-tinged finish is transparent to wet stone, setting up a shimmering fruit–mineral exchange.

David Schildknecht - Vinous

This is a decadent sweet wine with bright dried peaches, white truffle and light honey. Tropical fruit, too. Full-bodied, dense and layered with beautiful intensity and richness. Sweet finish.

Vouette et Sorbee Textures (R16) Champagne

Champagne, FRANCE
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Bertrand Gautherot has been quietly working away in the hamlet of Buxières-sur-Arce, in the Aube’s Côte des Bar region of Champagne, yet his wines have not escaped the attention of the top restaurants and retailers of the world. Each year Vouette & Sorbee allocations are eagerly awaited, and these exceptionally fine wines are consistently some of the best and most unique expressions from the area.

The vineyards here lie closer to Chablis than to Épernay, both in distance and geology, with soils dominated by the same Kimmeridgian limestone for which Chablis is famed. Gautherot’s wines take their deep and powerful personalities from these soils and the (relatively) sunnier climate of the southern Aube. His wines all come from a single harvest—noted by the “R” number on the back label—with the exception of the Fidèle cuvée, which sees a small addition of 5-10% reserve wine from a perpetual blend started in 2001. His winemaking abhors any kind of manipulation in the cellar. Gautherot uses the traditional Coquard press and the juice is transferred into oak or amphorae via gravity rather than being pumped. Primary fermentations are always carried out with natural yeasts and riddling and disgorgement are all done entirely by hand. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration and without dosage. The results are some of Champagne’s most original and delicious wines: wines of distinctive personality, energy and sense of place.

Textures is one of Gautherot’s newest cuvée; a rare, 100% Pinot Blanc Champagne crafted from vines in the Fonnet vineyard (planted between 1995 and 2000). Gautherot describes it as his “easiest” wine, i.e. the one that is the easiest to drink young. There is certainly more pulpy texture (hence the name), more fruit, and easier-going refreshment than in his Blanc d’Argile. There is also ample intensity and a great deal of poise and interest on offer, and a complexity that comes from the aging. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind expression of the Côte des Bar. You can expect candied citrus, floral and ripe lemon aromas and flavours, a generous, not-quite-creamy palate and a twist of gentle, refreshing bitterness on the close.

ABV: 41%

Tasting note: Beautifully presented in a decorated carafe, this 100% Grande Champagne Cognac opens with floral-soft, finely integrated aromas of crushed petals, buttery oak and hints of orange zest, stretching into a fruitier spectrum after air contact. Succulent nectarine, passionfruit and white peach flavours build to medium concentration. Ends as it began: graceful, feminine and elegant. The antithesis of Fillioux's masculine 'Numero 1.' 41% Alc./Vol.

Hartshorn Sheep Whey American Oaked Vodka (500ml)

$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 50%

A unique barrel-aged vodka made using sheep’s whey from what is arguably Australia’s smallest distillery. Ryan Hartshorn spent two years learning how to convert the complex sugars held within the whey protein so that they could be fermented and distilled. Run through a tiny fifty litre glass still, with a small amount selected for maturation in American oak barrels, this is a creamy, buttery vodka with heady vanillas and a degree of elegance to be enjoyed straight. As with previous releases, each bottle is hand painted by Hartshorn. 50% Alc./Vol.

Cocalero Herbal Liqueur (700ml)

BOLIVIA
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

ABV: 29%

A 'Cocalero' is the Bolivian title for a coca leaf farmer. The farmers supplying the key ingredient for this exotic new elixir are reportedly the same as those employed by a world famous soft drink company. Just like the soft drink, the coca leaf involved in the production of Cocalero contributes no psychoactive qualities. Already popular in night clubs where it's mixed with energy drinks to create a “Cocalero bomb”, its creation involves a specialised steam distillation process pioneered by the perfume industry to extract the flavours and essential oils from the coca leaves. The result is blended with botanicals like ginseng, juniper, orange, guarana, lavender, green tea and ginger giving it a subtle herbal twist.
Other reviews... On the palate, Cocalero is moderately sweet—moreso than the more traditional “herbal liqueur” of Cloosterbitter, but markedly less sweet than the intensity of St-Germain, which is primarily used for sweetening cocktails. It packs a bright, piercing note of candy-sweet lime citrus on the forefront, which passes into a melange of herbal notes, some piney juniper, and closes with moderate bitterness—once again in between the more bitter Cloosterbitter and the non-bitter St-Germain. It’s surprisingly “crisp” in nature. Dare I say, the effect is much more balanced than one might expect. Sure, it tastes almost exactly like a green Froot Loop, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The level of residual sweetness is dialed into a place where it’s not unpalatable to drink at least a small amount of Cocalero neat, and by pouring it over ice this drinkability would only be accentuated. Likewise, the restrained bitterness helps keep everything in check and keeps the liqueur from feeling entirely like a gimmick. Is this a drink for lovers of intensely bitter amaro, such as Fernet Branca? Certainly not, but it could very well appeal to drinkers who are just dipping a toe into herbal liqueurs, and it might have some interesting cocktail applications as well—as long as you’re seeking that candy lime note. Ultimately, Cocalero isn’t among the most complex spirits in this corner of the liqueur family tree—it’s not a replacement for chartreuse, or Cloosterbitter, or Suze. Rather, it’s an easygoing drink that is approachable when neat, and might have some other applications waiting to be discovered. 29% Alc./Vol - Jim Vorel, pastemagazine.com

The results are some of Champagne’s most original and delicious wines: wines of distinctive personality, energy and sense of place.

Blanc d’Argile has been described as Grand Cru Chablis with bubbles—a comparison that, on this evidence, flatters many a Chablis producer. Within the cold, west-facing, Kimmeridgian limestone-rich lieu-dit of Biaunes, there is a small plot of Chardonnay that Gautherot planted wild (without preparing the soils) amongst the native vegetation. The Côte des Bar is overwhelmingly planted to Pinot Noir, but nevertheless he did this in 2000, with massale cuttings from Anselme Selosse’s vines (in Avize) and Vincent Dauvissat’s Valmur Grand Cru vineyard. This plot has become the base of what Antonio Galloni calls “one of the most beautiful and distinctive wines in Champagne.” Fermentation for this wine was wild and took place in 4-10 year old, 500 and 600 litre barrels, with a small a portion of fruit fermented and raised in Georgian amphora. As with the Fidele, this wine spent roughly 15-18 months in bottle on lees, before being disgorged by hand with zero dosage.

2018 L'Aventure Optimus

Paso Robles, California, UNITED STATES
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Stephan Asseo, founder and winemaker at L’Aventure Winery, came to Paso Robles in California seeking more freedom to express his winemaking ideals than was allowed while working in Bordeaux. Falling in love with the rolling topography of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, he felt the deep calcareous soils, and the maritime influence had the potential to craft some of the world’s greatest blends. So far he's been proven right, and his array of red blends has quickly resulted in wines which have earned high scores and critical acclaim. These are rich and deeply impressive wines from one of the most talented winemakers in America.

Other Reviews....
A normal blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, and 10% Syrah, the 2018 Optimus reveals a deep purple color as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, black licorice, tobacco, chocolate, and a rocky, earthy minerality. It's rich and medium to full-bodied, with beautiful purity and silky tannins. This is a terrific introduction into the wines of l'Aventure and will drink well for over a decade.

Jeb Dunnuck

A barrel sample blended of 53% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Optimus is deep ruby-purple in color and scented of crème de cassis, baked blackberries, chocolate mint, wet clay, crushed blueberries and faint notions of lilac with an undercurrent of exotic spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied with lovely layering of spiced black and blue fruits, a detailed, finely pixelated frame and great freshness, finishing with loads of ripe fruit. I can’t wait to taste this from bottle!

Distinct yeast lees and baked bread aromas show notable depth out of the glass intermixing with dried honey, roasted almonds and brioche along the way. Rich, mouthfilling flavours of baked bread, yeast lees, citrus and grilled nut are fresh and focused yet also have a pleasing viscosity. Oily toast and brioche like characters are also present.

Based on an original recipe from the 19th century, this superb, pale gold Anis is drier than most - which makes sense - like Absinthe, and unlike Pastis, it contains no sugar. On the nose, herbs including Spanish green anise and fennel from Provence are complexed by notes of lavender, chamomile and thyme. The palate takes off with a burst of bittersweet, herbal / anise, finishing more fennel-like, zesty, peppery and long. The dryness makes this perfectly suited to pre-dinner drinks.

Cape Grim 666 Autumn Butter Flavoured Vodka (700ml)

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$66. 99
Bottle
$803.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Vodka production is not a foreign concept in Tasmania, with almost all current whisky distilleries producing the adaptable spirit in order to maintain cash flow while their whisky matures. Many with great success. And why not? Tasmania boasts some of the cleanest air and purest water in the world, the latter being essential for any successful vodka. Add some of the best brewing barley to the mix and it will come as no surprise why 666 Vodka was conceived. It was a gold medal winner at the 2010 San Francisco world spirits competition, the first Australian Vodka to win this award. It's created from 100% Tasmanian barley, triple distilled in copper pot stills and charcoal filtered to rid of any impurities and finally cut down to 40% ABV with rainwater collected from Cape Grim.
The brand has recently combined efforts with the Tassie Dairy industry to create "Autumn Butter", a deliciously creamy vodka sensation! 40% Alc./Vol.

Vibrant pear and apple fruits have a racy feel underscored by notions of lemon sherbet and lees characters. Finishes dry and very refreshing with crisp acidity and a medium length aftertaste.

2016 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque

Cote Rotie, Northern Rhone, FRANCE
$999. 00
Bottle
$11988.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Loaded with exotic perfumes of spring flowers and ripe berries, the 2016 Cote Rotie La Turque looks more like the wine I first tasted back in 2017. Medium to full-bodied, it's exquisitely silky and elegant from start to incredibly long finish; while there is ample concentration and a fine, lacy framework of tannins to support the fruit, the tannins virtually melt away into the background, leaving behind lingering notes of salted licorice and mocha. Approachable now, it should drink well for at least two decades.

Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate (May 2021)

Inky magenta. Candied cherry, blackcurrant, exotic spices, violet oil and a hint of olive on the powerfully scented nose. Velvety, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering palate-staining, mineral-laced black/blue fruit preserve, floral pastille, smoky bacon and spicecake flavors that open up steadily on the back half. Displays sharp delineation and a resonating floral note on a strikingly long finish that's framed by plush, rounded tannins.

Josh Raynolds - Vinous

Showing beautifully, the 2016 Côte Rôtie La Turque comes from the Côte Brune (along with the La Landonne) and includes a solid chunk of co-fermented Viognier. As with all the top La Las, it spends a full four years in new French oak and is bottled with no finning or filtration. Resembling the La Landonne with its smoky, meaty style, this deep purple-hued effort is medium to full-bodied and has complex notes of black raspberry, cassis, roast coffee, camphor, and flowers, silky tannins, and a great finish. It shows the more elegant style of the vintage yet is still concentrated, with fabulous tannins and impeccable balance. It's a beautiful, classic example of this cuvée to enjoy over the coming 20-25 years.

2017 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Napa Valley, California, UNITED STATES
$499. 00
Bottle
$5988.00 Dozen

Cellar: 8 - 10 Years (2028-2030)

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Joseph Phelps was a successful construction executive and entrepreneur whose early interest in wine led him to establish vineyards on a 670-acre former cattle ranch in Napa Valley. Over the next 40 years Joe became one of the most respected figures in the California wine industry, building Joseph Phelps Vineyards into a critically-acclaimed winery internationally known for its iconic wines and unwavering commitment to quality. In 1974 Joe Phelps had the idea to make a separate cuvee each year, one that would represent the finest wine he could make from each vintage, and he called it Insignia. While his original intention was to allow Insignia to be any varietal he chose, it become increasingly clear that red Bordeaux varieties – particularly Cabernet Sauvignon - were ideally suited to Napa Valley and would consistently yield the best wines of the vintage. From 1977 on, Cabernet Sauvignon was never less than 50% of the Insignia blend and gradually became the dominant varietal. Joe’s vision evolved: Insignia would always be a proprietary red Bordeaux-style blend. Over forty years later, Insignia is recognized as one of the world’s most iconic wines.
A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc. Sports magnificent density of colour, the core inky black and the hue an equally deep dark red black hue. Dazzling black cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice aromatics fill the olfactory senses followed by vanillin cedar, light scorched earth notes and spice. Rich and exceptionally concentrated the palate is awash with lavish black fruits that include blackcurrant, black cherry and liquorice. Firm yet well integrated tannins carry the densely textured fruit superbly with elements of vanillin cedar, earth, dark chocolate and spice lying underneath. Nicely balanced with good freshness concluding with a powerful aftertaste that shows great polish.
Cellar 8-10 years.

A beautiful, focused wine with a tight center palate of blackberries, blueberries and dark chocolate. Very subtle. Hints of mint and sage, too. Medium to full body and fine, racy tannins. A reserved and very pretty Insignia. Fresh finish. Hard not to drink now, but better in 2022.

jamessuckling.com

A barrel sample, the 2017 Insignia is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, to be aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with bold scents of baked black plums, crème de cassis and fruit cake with hints of espresso, tapenade, hoisin and potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling black berry preserves and loads of earthy sparks, framed by chewy tannins, finishing with loads of freshness. Very promising! 7,500 cases were made (about half the normal production).

Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Wine Advocate (Nov 2019)

Not yet bottled, the 2017 Insignia (which includes no Petit Verdot due to the frosts) offers both red and black fruits as well as lots of spice box, gravelly earth, and integrated oak. It opens up beautifully with time in the glass, is medium to full-bodied, has beautiful mid-palate depth and concentration, and a great finish. It’s a classic, undeniable success in this challenging vintage.

The 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese (Gold Capsule) is very clear, intense and concentrated on the precise and succulent nose that reveals clear and super precise stone fruit intermixed with chervil, tea and very fine slate aromas.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Oct 2020)

Heady and head-spinningly diverse floral perfume, nut pastes and pit fruit preserves inform the nose and the luscious, glossy, creamy, delicate palate of this beauty. Nougat and quince jelly are the strongest midpalate impressions. Lime zest and fruit pit serve for welcome, enlivening counterpoint on a finish whose vibrancy and exuberance are amazing, especially from a wine of such sheer overall richness and ripeness as well as such creaminess of texture. Sweetness is prominent, but by no means excessive. The Prüms insisted that this wine issued from virtually botrytis-free albeit desiccated fruit.

David Schildknecht - Vinous

Maybe I'm amazed! In spite of the density and concentration, this retains the light-footed and filigree character that are typical for this great vineyard site. A cornucopia of dried stone and tropical fruit, but also spices, dried herbs, a whiff of licorice and much else besides. Only just beginning to show what it's made of! Drink or hold.

Tasting note: Made using Albanian juniper and Fenugreek with the distillery's 'blood orange gin' as a base, at first pour this smells a little like orange cake but quickly develops aromas of meringue, vanilla and creamy soda, repeating in a liqueur-like delivery (think Pavlova less the fruit on top). The lack of juniper and the overt sweetness puts this in a sub category of gin liqueurs. Recommended with light tonic and a strawberry garnish. 37.5% Alc./Vol.

2018 L'Aventure Cote a Cote

Bottle
$2520.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Stephan Asseo, founder and winemaker at L’Aventure Winery, came to Paso Robles in California seeking more freedom to express his winemaking ideals than was allowed while working in Bordeaux. Falling in love with the rolling topography of the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, he felt the deep calcareous soils, and the maritime influence had the potential to craft some of the world’s greatest blends. So far he's been proven right, and his array of red blends has quickly resulted in wines which have earned high scores and critical acclaim. These are rich and deeply impressive wines from one of the most talented winemakers in America.

Other Reviews....
Straight-up sexy, the 2018 Cote A Cote is a Grenache-dominated blend that includes 26% Mourvèdre and 23% Syrah, all aged in 35% new French oak. Stunning notes of black raspberries, ground pepper, Asian spices, and candied violets all flow to a full-bodied, concentrated wine that reminds me of a great vintage of Domaine de la Janasse's Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes cuvée. It shows more chalky minerality with time in the glass and is pure, seamless, and beautifully put together. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years.

The 2018 Côte a Côte, a blend of 48% Grenache, 26% Mourvèdre and 26% Syrah, is stunning from new oak, concrete and amphorae. Medium to deep ruby-purple, its perfume and spice come through despite its aging vessel, offering up fresh blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrant aromas with layers of pepper, garrigue, dried flowers, blood orange, grilled lamb and grapefruit. The medium to full-bodied palate unleashes a torrent of dark, spiced fruits with a high-definition frame, fantastic freshness and a long, layered finish. This is pure pleasure, and I very much look forward to tasting the final blend from bottle.

2013 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Vite Talin

Piedmont, ITALY
$899. 00
Bottle
$10788.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
Here it is: the newest creation to emerge from the talented hands of Luciano Sandrone and his family. To be released in 2019, the 2013 Barolo Vite Talin is a wine born from a single vine. They noticed one plant that behaved differently than the others. It produced dark and concentrated fruit. Unlike common Nebbiolo, its leaves showed shallow sinuses between the lobes. Its vigor was different, producing fewer very loose clusters with small berry and seed size. The Sandrone family first noticed this vine in 1987 and named it Talin (a dialect version of the Italian name Natale) after the farmer who originally had the vine. For years, they vinified fruit from this vine separately in order to study its progress. They had a hunch that this mysterious vine was indeed genetically Nebbiolo, and they eventually received confirmation of this from the University of Turin. With this, they earn the right to call this wine Barolo. The massal selection is from Le Coste, and Barolo now results in less than one hectare of vines (6,000 square meters) and less than 2,000 bottles produced per year. This first vintage celebrates the 40th anniversary of the estate (1978-2018). The wine opens to an intense, dark color with extra pulp, power and structure in the mouth. The tannins are soft and rich. The wine is fermented in oak with maceration times that range from 20 to 25 days. It is then aged in tonneaux for two years before going into oval-shaped bottles for another two years before its commercial release. In total, it completes six years of aging at the winery. This is a game changer for the Sandrone family and for Barolo. What I find fascinating is that Barolo Talin takes us away from the discussion of vineyards and crus. It reminds us that the Nebbiolo grape is ultimately what is behind every great Barolo that we love. This wine takes us to the heart of Nebbiolo.

Monica Larner - Wine Advocate (June 2018)

Sandrone's 2013 Barolo Vite Talin is just as fabulous from bottle as it was from cask. Rich, unctuous and deeply layered in the glass, the 2013 possesses tremendous density and voluptuousness. Today, it is a bit closed down following its bottling about six months before this tasting. One of the things I admire most about the 2013 is the juxtaposition of translucence and power, which, at its essence, is what great Barolo is all about. The Vite Talin (previously reviewed here as a Riserva) is new to the range. The Vite Talin emerges from a parcel within the Rivassi cru known as Talin with heavily virused vines that produce a minuscule crop. For many years I have tasted the Talin Barolo from cask as one of the potential candidates for Le Vigne. During all of that time, Sandrone ultimately decided to sell the entirety of the production off in bulk. Until 2013, when the Sandrones decided to bottle the wine on its own, with an old-school label that celebrates the Sandrone family's history prior to the founding of the Luciano Sandrone winery.

James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion (February 2020)
This isn’t released until July 2020 but if Australian cabernet shiraz blends are to your liking then this release is worth jumping on as soon as you can.
It’s a seriously good wine. Its volume and silken mouthfeel announce themselves from the first sip but then the long chains of tannin, tobacco and dust and floral-like highlights, and compelling length serve to seal a quite wonderful deal. This is hearty, full-bodied Australian red wine in all its glory. It’s built on redcurrant, plum, blackcurrant and cloves and the mouthfeel/length combination here is really quite something.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front (February 2020)
Hickinbotham's flagship 2018 The Peake Cabernet Shiraz checks in as a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Shiraz. Aged in 50% to 60% new French oak, the Shiraz component is drawn from the "drippings"—not the free-run that comes off the skins immediately, but not pressings, either. The two varieties complement each other, with the Shiraz adding richness of texture—a certain lushness and velvety feel that the pure-Cabernet Trueman is missing. Cassis and raspberry notes combine with hints of cedar and vanilla, mint and dried spices. Medium to full-bodied, this is velvety, rich, long and complete, just a joy to drink. Drink 2021 - 2035.

Black Tot Finest Caribbean Rum (700ml)

ABV: 46.2%

Black Tot returns! Named for 'Black Tot Day' (July 31st 1970), the date the Royal Navy discontinued daily rum rations, followers of the brand will recall the 'Last Consignment'. Retailing for around 1.5K and prized by collectors and sailors, it was created with stocks of authentic British Royal Navy rum, relics of which had been stored in stone flagons at various Army and Navy bases around the UK following the abolition of the tot.
This is the third in the Black Tot series to be released by Elixir Distillers. It's reported the team tasted twenty six different blends over two years before deciding on this particular expression. The final composition is made up of 20% Guyana unaged pot and column still rums, 35% Barbados 5 year old pot and column still rums and a 5% Jamaican pot still rum contribution, aged for three years.
Tasting note: Dark spices, raisin cake, molasses and dark chocolate aromas follow in a medium bodied rum with fruity / caney flavours of papaya, pineapple husk and sweet spice; finishes with bittersweet dark chocolate and hints of molasses cake. Authentic Caribbean style and flavour, but traditionalists might expect more punch. 46.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered and bottled without additional sweeteners.
Other reviews... Elixir Distillers have really hit this one out of the ball park. It’s an absolutely fantastic Navy style rum which easily competes with the likes of Woods 100, Pusser’s Gunpowder. It is a little less boozy at 46.2% ABV but it certainly doesn’t compromise taste wise. - thefatrumpirate.com

Regardless, this brilliantly balanced Orkney-fest of a malt hits all the right notes; A measured dollop of honey perfectly complements the smouldering peat; a grapey-smokey-sherried burst arrives with a salty, maritime lick, while the nutty, sooty finish and impeccable balance seal it as an utterly quintessential HP.

ABV: 48%

Doorly's rums are made at the Foursquare Distillery, one of Barbados' oldest trading companies. Currently owned and operated by the 4th generation of the Seale family, Richard Seale remains the Master Distiller & blender. The distillery is situated in the south eastern quarter of the island in St. Phillip and built on the site of a former sugar factory dating back to the 1650s. This blend of pot and column still rums was aged in ex-bourbon casks, with a smaller portion matured in ex-Madeira casks. While it's not quite cask strength, at 48% it definitely promises more oomph than the entry level Doorly’s. No sugar or other sweeteners are added, which will also please purists.
Other reviews... The mid palate shows more of the Madeira influence. Notes of red wine and blackberries mingle alongside dark chocolate and some faint notes of marmalade. Finish wise we are left with a spicy and slightly heated end to the rum – white pepper and lots of ginger and a trace of cinnamon. The finish is very long and the rum lingers for a long time in the mouth. Lots of barrel char like flavour. Further sips seem to temper the more bitter and woody notes. More fruitiness becomes apparent. Once the palate adjusts the rum has a much better balance than the initial sip might lead you to believe. The extra ABV means this is a rum worth sitting down and spending some time with. Doorly’s XO you can almost swig straight from the bottle – you don’t want to do that with this. Sit down with it and appreciate it in small sips... For most other producers this would be the jewel in the crown. There best efforts. for Foursquare it’s just another great rum....The only people who would be disappointed with this rum are the nuggets that think Bumbu or Plantation XO are great Barbados rums. 4 Stars - thefatrumpirate.com
...Doorly's is one of Foursquare's brands. Colour: amber. Nose: not the first time that I have the impression that by using molasses and blending column and pot still, they often manage (not saying that was their goal) to create some kind of 'agricole' rum. This one's got the same kind of waxy polishes, slightly salty, almost olive-y touches, the slightly heady floralness, the crème brûlée, the tarte tatin, these slightly 'burnt' touches, this earthiness… Now, yes I know Barbadian rum existed way before the French started to make agricole rum, thanks to Napo and the British navy (or the other way 'round). Mouth: excellent, bold, salty, full of liquorice and smoke, cigars, burnt caramel, varnish and olives, some lavender (sweets), aniseed, caraway and cloves… I'm wondering if you wouldn't achieve some rather similar results if you would let some yellow chartreuse age for a decade or so in active wood. Like, in a proper ex-solera manzanilla butt. Seriously, I find this Doorly's just perfect and, perhaps, a little 'funkier' than the Foursquares. But not too sure about that part… Finish: long, with a little pepper, one olive, some orange juice and some caraway. Comments: I even like the blue parrot on the label. Is that an ara? What would the rum world do without parrots? In any case, this Doorly's was extremely convincing. 89 points - whiskyfun.com

An exceptionally fine and very persistent bead weaves its way through a strawberry pink coloured base after a well formed frothy white mousse dissipates. Filling the nostrils are enticing strawberry and raspberry aromatics which are complexed by some baked bread, yeast lees and light toast notes. Delightfully sculptured by refreshing acidity, the palate has delicious raspberry and strawberry fruits racing across it with yeast lees, baked bread and chalky tones lending further interest. Finishes nervy, crisp and long.

Full-bodied and intense, it seems to have added structure since last year, with a firm matrix of tannins holding it all together and lingering on the lengthy finish. Put this Mourvèdre-based blend (approximately 60%) away for five or more years; it should drink well for a couple of decades beyond that.

Inky ruby. Deep-pitched red and dark berry liqueur, candied violet, licorice and Moroccan spice scents show superb detail and a smoky mineral overtone. Densely packed and focused on the palate, offering powerful blueberry, bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors, along with chewing tobacco, floral pastille and fruitcake notes. Hangs on with serious persistence, steadily building tannins and reverberating florality. Two-thousand eighteen was a superb vintage for Mourvèdre, and it shows here, with that variety making up about a third of the blend. Drink 2027-2040.

Very spicy with grilled meat and lots of blackberry and blueberry aromas, together with moss and bark, following through to a full body with round, dusty tannins that are polished and together. Finishes a little tight, suggesting the need to age and open up. Chewy at the end, too. Better after 2024, when it opens.

Lastly, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin showed beautifully, and while it doesn’t hit the heights of the 2001, 2007, 2010, 2016, or 2017, it’s a beautiful expression of this cuvée that deserves a place in the cellar. Revealing a deep purple hue as well as a kaleidoscope-like array of blueberries, charred meat, graphite, ground pepper, violets, and garrigue, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless texture, building tannins, and a magical finish. It doesn’t have the sheer wealth of material found in truly great vintages and stays compact and focused on the palate, but it has beautiful depth of fruit and intensity as well as a seamlessness to its tannins. I suspect it will be relatively approachable by this cuvee’s standards, yet it still has enough structure and tannins to warrant a solid 7-8 years of bottle age. Given its balance, freshness, and purity, it’s going to age beautifully. Drink 2025 - 2050.

This is deeply coloured but not opaque. The 2018 Hommage has a heavy Mourvèdre fug that rises up from the glass with higher toned violet notes along with bass notes of liquorice, rolling tobacco, blackcurrant leaf and a little sticky damson. It’s fairly full-bodied, but without excesses, showing well balanced acidity and alcohol alongside grippy, gently muscular tannins. There are no signs of the more adverse climatic features of the vintage at this stage and it has a good sense of harmony. It’s an excellent wine, though perhaps not the most thunderous or profound Hommage but still a great wine and a remarkably elegant iteration of this cuvée. Amazingly drinkable already, but wait until 2028 if you can. Drink 2024 - 2036.
