Vaudon VS Fins Bois Cognac (700ml)

Cognac, FRANCE
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

While the house of Vaudon produce ‘multi-cru’ blends in combination with Grande Champagne, the heart of the operation is focused on a single cru: Fins Bois, the largest of Cognac's regions. Ugni Blanc vines are planted in light soils made from hard, superficial calcareous clay that bring body and softness to the eaux de vie. Fin Bois cognacs are known to age quickly, developing spice and liquorice notes early on. This is Vaudon's entry-level offering. Amid its stone-fruit fragrance and soft, delicate mouthfeel you'll also find hints of vanilla, fresh pears and fennel. Present day custodians, Anne-Marie Vaudon and Pierre Vaudon continue the family's history and know-how that began in 1771. 40% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Attack is supple and delicate, a well-known signature from good Fins Bois Cognac’s. A beautiful marriage between a white fruit basket and slight notes of liquorice. The Fins Bois eaux-de-vie bring interesting flavours of fresh berries sustained with an important vanilla ambiance completed by a bouquet with fruits notes like pear or apricot, a beautiful harmony.

2022 Y (Ygrec) d'Yquem

Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$430. 00
Bottle
$5160.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Y d'Yquem (Ygrec) is the rare, dry wine from Chateau d'Yquem. Historically Y was made in the years when the season didn't allow for sufficient accumulation of botrytis, but since 2004 the decision was made to make the wine each vintage. Differing from the sweet wine, Y is composed of predominantly Sauvignon Blanc (75%) with the balance Semillon, harvested early in the season, before being matured in barrel (one third new) for approximately ten months.
Other Reviews....
This is a big white with sliced apple, pineapple and lychee fruit. It’s full-bodied and dense with lots of fruit and phenolics on the mid-palate. A roundness and power at the end. From the same plots as Yquem. Harvested August 9. 60% sauvignon blanc and 40% semillon. Drink or hold.

2022 Domaine Zind Humbrecht Riesling Roche Granitique

Alsace, FRANCE
$76. 99
Bottle
$923.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Modern day Domaine Zind Humbrecht started with the 1959 amalgamation of the Humbrecht family vineyards in Gueberschwihr and the Zind family vineyards in Wintzenheim. However current custodian Olivier Humbrecht MW is the latest generation of Humbrecht winemakers dating back to 1620. Olivier is a legend among modern French winemakers, becoming France’s first Master of Wine at the age of 29, before returning to the family Domaine and beginning a journey to revitalise the vineyards after years of chemical treatment common at the time. Today the Domaine comprises 41.1 hectares of vines spread throughout a range of Grand Cru and single-vineyard sites, all cultivated organically and according to biodynamic principles. These are the pinnacle of aromatic whites from Alsace.
Other Reviews....
The 2022 Riesling Roche Granitique was harvested in the Brand Grand Cru. The nose is clear as a bell with a touch of smoke and a strafe of citrus, but essentially shy. The palate is clear, bright and shining, with a spectrum of plum, from greengage via Reine Claude to Mirabelle. This is fresh, wonderfully stony, zesty, streamlined and pervasive. It's almost incisive, with just a touch of pepper on the finish and a lovely feel of grapefruit zest. (Bone-Dry). Drink 2024-2045.

You can almost taste all the sunshine of this very warm vineyard site. The aromas tip over from stone fruit to fresh pineapple and white flowers. But what makes this so exciting is the vibrancy and mineral energy that so beautifully balances the juicy fruit on the palate. Very long, super-clean finish. Mostly from younger vines in the Grand Cru Brand. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Picked very late in the middle of September, the 2022 Clos Windsbuhl Hunawihr Riesling offers a very deep, rich and intense, lime and limestone-driven bouquet that is very distinctive, rich, coolish, fresh and citric. Round and generous on the palate, this is a powerful, complex, very salivating Windsbuhl Riesling with the generosity and finesse (also in terms of acidity) of a grand cru and a lemon-fresh (and bitter) finish The wine is wide and juicy but also refined and fresh in all its minerality. It is also really rich and potent yet not at all driven by alcohol. The salinity is great here and intertwined with tannins and noble bitters. 4,400 bottles 12.46% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024. Drink 2025-2070.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Feb 07, 2025)
The 2022 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl is a "bucolic" site, Humbrecht says, surrounded by forest and fields at altitude. It is on rocky Triassic limestone. The wine is slightly flinty and nutty on the nose. The palate is stony, too, taut and bright but flowing like clear spring water, cooling, with ever more citrus coming to the fore. Lemon zestiness and lovely brightness make this mouth-puckeringly tangy and deliciously thrilling. (Bone-Dry). Drink 2026-2060.

Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous
At once powerful and crystalline, this densely structured dry riesling is made for the long term. Extremely lemony and salty on the medium- to full-bodied palate, then so compact at the very long, driving finish, which is as pointed as a rapier. The last riesling harvested in this vintage, but with the lowest alcohol and the highest acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

From a cooler, higher part of the grand cru that is facing east-southeast on rocky, reddish soils, the 2022 Hengst Wintzenheim Riesling opens with a very deep and coolish, intense and complex yet refined and elegant, terroir-driven bouquet with fresh apple puree and spicy and saline terroir notes. Full-bodied, very elegant and not all too rich, this is a dense and well balanced, less racy Riesling than the Clos Häuserer but with a long, intense and finely tannic finish. After 500 liters in the inaugural 2021 vintage, 3,200 bottles plus 170 magnums of the 2022 vintage were filled in January 2024. The vineyard was planted in 2016 with the winery's own selections at a density of 9,000 vines per hectare, which yielded 28 hectoliters per hectare in 2022. 12.83% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024. Drink 2025-2045.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Feb 07, 2025)
The 2022 Riesling Grand Cru Hengst is picked on the eastern side of the Hengst. The parcel was planted in 2016 with high density, and the first vintage of the wine was the 2021. Gorgeously smoky flint precedes subtle floral and tangerine peel notes. The juiciness on the palate is all-encompassing, spreading wonderfully ripe, fresh Mirabelle fruit pervaded by fine, tangerine-like ripe citrus. The 2022 is serene, bright and sunny, with a long, zesty aftertaste. (Bone-Dry). Drink 2026-2050.

Dense nose of papayas, persimmons and gunpowder. Huge concentration on the medium- to full-bodied palate, but it is as fresh as it is lush. Terrific energy at the bold and clean finish. There is a touch of sweetness in there somewhere, but you barely notice it. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Other Reviews....
The late-budding and rather late-ripening Clos Saint-Urbain, in the very south of Alsace, meets the very warm and solar 2022 vintage in this wine. What a thrilling setting this is, the more so since August and September brought rather cooler conditions to this cooler but, due to its dark soils and stony terraces in summer, nevertheless warm terroir of the Rangen. Indeed, the pH level was rather low in 2022 (at 3.1) and caused a dry and tense Riesling that doesn't at all show the characteristics of the Rieslings around Turckheim or elsewhere in Alsace.
The 2022 Clos Saint-Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling opens very clear, pure, saline/iodine-inflected and stony on the flinty or smoky nose that represents the volcanic terroir of the clos perfectly or, as Olivier Humbrecht puts it, "Like a volcano fart."
Powerful, rich and saline on the palate, this is a dense, highly complex and energetic Saint-Urbain that somehow combines the purity of Dönnhoff's Hermannshöhle with the concentration, power and mineral complexity of the magnesium-rich Rangen. The finish is very intense, dense and aromatic as well as salivating, with a great mix of tannins, saline acidity and perfectly ripe (apricot) fruit.
Pressed slowly over 14 hours, this is one of the, if not THE, finest Rangen I have tasted from Zind-Humbrecht. (Loyal readers know that I had them all a year ago.) The 2022 comes in with 12.8% alcohol and is a wine to keep for many years. Drink 2028-2090.

Stephan Reinhardt - Wine Advocate (Feb 07, 2025)
The 2022 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru was harvested among the last Rieslings but had one of the lowest alcohols, with 12.8 %. A lovely sharp, green aromatic flavor, almost of watercress intensity, fresh, green and vigorous without being unripe, sets an initial aromatic highlight. The famed smokiness arrives on the second sniff, followed by gloriously aromatic tangerine. The palate is exquisitely precise, stony, taut and naked, but oh so nuanced with immense citrus brightness. This is a marvel glimmering with zestiness, citrus and such stony directness. (Bone-Dry). Drink 2026-2060.

Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous
All the yellow and fresh tropical fruit of the world is packed into this exceptionally complex and mind-blowingly intense wine that pushes the envelope of minerality all the way, and then some. If that isn’t your thing, then get off the bus, but for friends of very focused, stony wines this is a staggering experience. The smoky, salty and spicy finish is really extraordinary. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Other Reviews…..
The amber-colored 1999 Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 Grande Cuvée Nouvelle Vague (Library Release 2024) is deep, refined and very intense on the nevertheless finessed nose that tends almost toward red wine or Colheita in its toasty and darker-toned fruit aromas that are reminiscent of potted cherries and plums as well as iodine, syrup and chestnut honey. Rich and elegant on the palate, with cedarwood and graphite (pencil tip) notes, this is a highly refined and elegant, very saline, vital and salivating TBA with oatmeal notes on the finish. This is a superb 25-year-old TBA. 10.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. Drink: 2025 - 2075.

If you’ve never tasted a mature dessert wine, then you must try this to find out how incredible these wines can be. Great nose of peat and gunpowder underlined by notes of molasses and candied orange slices. Concentrated and rich, but elegant and beautifully balanced on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Very long, subtle finish. Drink or hold.

- TBA No 1 Traminer
  Other Reviews…..
  The 2021 Trockenbeerenauslese No 1 Traminer Nouvelle Vague opens with a deep, intense, fresh and savory bouquet with candied lemon and minty and herbal aromas. Full-bodied, rich and savory on the palate, this is a refined and elegant, lemon-fresh and bitter-finishing TBA with a tight and spicy structure and less juice than in more generous years. This 2021 TBA is more pithy and saline, even gastronomic, since it doesn't taste super sweet but spicy and savory. This is due to early botrytis in a very dry year and the harvest in early October. 10.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. Drink: 2029 - 2070.

ABV: 13.5%

Ménétrières reflects a mix of three soil types, clay, limestone and marl. One of the fuller yellow colours. Almost banana and cream on the nose, high class though. Here the fruit and the crystalline racy character march hand in hand, very well integrated with the oak as well. Waves of flavour course across the palate. Clearly an additional nobility, with a fine backbone and excellent length. 13.5% alcohol. Drink from 2028-2038.

Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
Here the nose is similar to the Perrières but with more floral influence. In contrast to the relatively refined mouthfeel of the Perrières, the notably bigger-bodied flavors are rich, concentrated and powerful with seriously good punch on the strikingly long, balanced and sappy finale. In the context of what is typical for Pouilly-Fuissé, this is a big wine. Drink through 2030+.
91-93 points
Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ménétrières 1er Cru is more reticent on the nose following on from the Les Perrières. Crushed stone and subtle menthol notes emerge with aeration. Fine delineation (again). The palate is well-balanced with fine depth, but this year, I found more complexity within the Les Perrières, and it needs a little more mineralité on the finish. Nonetheless, it is a well-crafted Pouilly-Fuissé, albeit not best in show this vintage. Drink 2024-2040.

Over the crest from Ménétrières, with more of a northern aspect as well as east, lots of stones in a light marly limestone. Once again, the Tournant de Pouilly shows a superb backbone, rinsed in lemon and lime, on a very pure white fruit, apples in the orchard, one feels to be hardly touching the potential of this wine. Stunning potential. 13.5% alcohol. Drink from 2028-2040.

The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Tournant de Pouilly 1er Cru, which is located in the climat of Les Reisses, has a sophisticated bouquet with crushed stone, orchard fruit and noisettes. The 2022 is pure and quite seductive. The palate is nicely balanced with a keen thread of acidity. It's a little more tensile than the Les Ménétrières this year, with a bright, lightly spiced, persistent finish. Excellent. Drink 2024-2040.

2000 Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K 23 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$1699. 00
Bottle
$20388.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"A glitch in the Ardware" reads the inside of the futuristic presentation box. Welcome to the first in a new limited edition series, created during a milestone year at Ardbeg. Each one will represent a different side of the distillery with no two whiskies alike. ‘Y2K’ is pronounced ‘Year-Two-K’. While the year 2000 will be remembered by many for bootcut jeans, flip phones and the elusive millennium bug, it went down in Ardbeg history for very different reasons. Following decades of neglect, the Distillery had been saved from extinction by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 and meticulously restored. As the clock ticked over from 1999 to 2000, Ardbeg was returning to full production. And while the rest of the world partied, with many distilleries shut down in fear of computerised chaos, its dedicated stillmen stayed up all night to keep the spirit flowing.
Crafted with some of the very first spirit of the millennium, the inaugural edition in the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series is unlike anything before. It was distilled in the historic still which served Ardbeg for 51 years, before being retired in 2001. And with an increased rigour applied to cask selection under the new ownership, the whisky was laid down in some of the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks around. The result is a single malt jampacked with bright zesty notes and intensely sweet, sooty flavours – a smoky anomaly never to be repeated. Aromas of lemon balsam reminisce with linseed oil and heather honey, while soot and peppermint stir up memories of ground coffee and aniseed on the palate.
Says Dr Bill Lumsden, Master Distiller, "Ardbeg Vintage Y2K is a phenomenal souvenir of a pivotal year at Ardbeg. Crafted at the dawn of a new era in our historic still, this ultra-rare whisky has been stowed carefully at the Distillery ever since. Herbal, citrusy and sweet on the nose, before soot, peppermint and coffee explode on the palate, this retro collectors’ classic is pure Ardbeg nostalgia.”
Other reviews... Distilled in Ardbeg’s historic still that was retired in 2001 after 51 years of service, this vintage has a sweet and zesty nose with coal soot, honey-lemon lozenges, Peppermint Pattie, and traces of black licorice. Silky smooth on the tongue, with sweet vanilla, lemon, peppermint creams, doughnut custard, ashy peat smoke, and orange pith, with creamy coffee, aniseed, and vanilla on the finish. No water needed. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com
Notes from the producers... Colour: Pale amber. On the nose: Herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a distant, subtly fragrant smokiness. A closer look reveals tangy notes of lemon balm, linseed oil and candied walnuts. Theflavourintensifies with a splash ofwater, followed by notes of heather honey, creosote and some tarpaulin. On the palate: A tingling, sorbet-like structure, vibrating on the tongue. The initialflavouris intensely sweet, with a burst of aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee grounds. Sooty and tarry flavours then develop. Finish: The long, lingering aftertaste reveals notes of antiseptic lozenges, bitter orange peel andoaktannins.

From a 30ml sample we found a full-bodied whisky with dried fruit cake salient on the nose and palate along with subtle marzipan - Evidently from a good cut as the poise at this ABV and age is pretty good. The drying finish leaves you with mere suggestions of assorted dried fruits and nuts. 55.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Brandy can justifiably lay claim to the title of South Africa's favourite spirit, selling more than white spirit and whisky markets combined. And so it should. With a heritage dating back to the late 17th century when early Dutch pioneers in the Cape quickly worked out that the typically Mediterranean climate and favourable soils were ideal for growing grapes - wine, and ultimately, brandy was produced. The quality has more than kept pace with demand.
South Africa remains a world-class producer (it’s also one of the few brandy making areas outside Cognac that still conforms to age-old Cognac traditions). The quality/price ratio combined with the range on offer is compelling. The KWV company is a case in point. It first distilled in 1926 and has been receiving praise for its brandies ever since. Master Distiller, Kobus Gelderblom is at the helm. In 2010 KWV was awarded a gold medal for the 20 Year Old Brandy at the London International Spirits Competition (it’s worth noting that only four brandies were awarded golds at the competition). A single estate bottling from KWV was subsequently honoured as “Best Brandy in the World’ by the same group. A remarkable achievement that continues to grow. Gelderblom has a passion for Pinotage with Chardonnay his other preference.
KWV's five year old blends pot still brandy with unaged wine spirits. Its opulent bouquet includes dried figs, raisins, clove and toffee apple. The mouthfeel is plush and soft, mirroring the aromas with flavours of dried figs, Christmas pudding and cafe-creme combined with a gently warming, spicy flourish. It's remarkably well balanced, with a persistence that brings notes of toffee apple and vanilla to the spicy afterglow. A very drinkable all-rounder and great value. 43% Alc./Vol.

A hefty bouquet precedes a heftier delivery. A hard one to nail down but there’s no pronounced peat so if it’s from Springbank it’s a Hazelburn distillate or Glengyle? A slight grittiness to the mouthfeel reminds us of Glen Scotia, as does the slightly prickly attack. The sprite finish is flattened by the sweetness of the wine before a rush of coastal freshness relieves the sugars. Initially the wine input smothers, but it gets better as you go, which brings us back to Springbank… Whatever the mix, it's very characterful. Finished in a muscat cask. 312 bottles for the Australian importer. 54.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

2021 Domaine de Trevallon Alpilles Rouge

Provence, FRANCE
$240. 00
Bottle
$2880.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Formed in the early 1970's, with the first vintage 1976, Domaine de Trevallon have become one of the most famous and respected properties in Southern France. After graduating his architecture degree, Eloi Durrbach set south aiming to make natural wines with a sense of place and ability to age with ease. Planting now comprises 15 hectares of red grapes, equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, plus 2 hectares of Marsanne and Roussanne. All grapes have been grown and treated organically since their planting.
Alpilles Rouge is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Syrah, aged for 24 months in old foudre and barrels with a minimum amount of racking during this time. The grapes are not destemmed, and vinification occurs with natural yeasts and no sulphur. While this wine is generally opulent and indulgent in its youth, it famously rewards time in the cellar, beautifully evolving slowly over decades.
Other Reviews....
From a marginally cooler, damper year, the Syrah and Cabernet are already beginning to meld together. Tightly youthful and closed, this needs either advance decanting or be allowed to age for a few years. Fresh, vibrant notes of blue flowers and dark berry fruit on the nose opens out to concentrated, ripe blackberries, the vibrant kick of sloes and powerful, bitter black chocolate tannins, finishing with aromatic notes of black pepper and sweet allspice. Drink 2025-2045.

Matured in a mixture of French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Pitch black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Potent aniseed, dark plum and black cherry scents fill the nostrils complimented by some toasty vanillin oak, fennel and peppered earth notes. Rich aniseed, dark plum and black cherry fruits carry ample flesh across the medium to full bodied palate with notions of toasty vanillin oak, fennel and peppered earth the underbelly.

Other Reviews…..
A rich, oak-influenced style in keeping with the producer's style of red-wine making which demands further bottle ageing. Tight and focused, it delivers a complex array of scents and flavours, of clove, cardamon spice, violet with a thread of herbal complexity before settling into a solid core of plums, blueberries and cassis. The overarching influence of oak resonates in tandem with burly tannins. Drink by 2031.

This is a single site Cabernet from McLaren Vale, planted in 1993. Ten days on skins, after pressing the fermentation was finished in barrel, with around 30% of it new French oak, followed by 14 months maturation. Deep maroon, the wine offers rich chocolatey notes, dry herbs, tobacco leaves, mulberries, smoked meats, plums and soy. Oak is evident, but it is not intrusive. There is a supple texture, firm finish and very good length. Sleek tannins. Lovely example of a warm climate Cabernet which will provide excellent drinking for the next eight to twelve years. Very good buying. Drink 2024-2036.

From the estate Firehawk Farm; two-thirds destemmed and crushed over whole bunches for a seven-day ferment, then pressed to mainly seasoned oak for 12 months' maturation. A spicy rendition of grenache, this is also quite deep, though very much lifted and respectful of the integrity of fruit flavour. Davidson plum, baked raspberry tart, rhubarb, white pepper and celery salt, cinnamon and clove. It’s got some moody depth and bright fruitfulness, the tannins dryly assertive. Drink by 2028.

2023 Feudo Montoni Catarratto Masso

Sicily, ITALY
$44. 99
Bottle
$539.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 1 Years (2024-2025)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

Feudo Montoni enjoys a long history in the Valledolmo region of central western Sicily. Their cellars are housed in the baglio (typical Sicilian court square building) built by the noble Arogenese family in 1469. The property was purchased by current owner and winemaker Fabio Sireci’s grandfather Rosario in the late 1800s.
This Catarratto comes from the ‘Masso’ cru, which is one of the highest vineyards on the Feudo Montoni Estate at 700m and named because of its rocky-sandy soil. The vines are aged between 55 and 60 years old but have been grafted onto very old bush vines producing fruit that’s dense and full flavoured. This iron rich soil contributes to a wine that is intensely fresh and mineral. After concrete fermentation, the wine is kept on lees for 6 months with some batonnage before being bottled.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a glimmer of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Intense pear and lime scents infused with fresh herbs are trailed by some Granny Smith apple, slate and mineral notes. Highly energised the palate features a racy flavour profile of lime, green apple and mandarin fruits infused with a mix of Mediterranean herbs, wet slate and saline characters. Crisp acidity. The long snappy finish laced with minerality.
Drink over the next year.

2022 Comando G La Bruja de Rozas Garnacha

Sierra de Gredos, SPAIN
$54. 99
Bottle
$659.88 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

It’s time to leave your preconceptions at the door, as Comando G produce Garnacha (Grenache) unlike anyone else in Spain. Comando G’s Daniel Landi and Fernando Garcia craft Garnacha up in the near inaccessible hills of the Sierra de Gredos mountains which are miles away (figuratively and literally) from the dark, powerful, brooding wines of Priorat that hit the scene 20 years or so ago. These are a different breed of Garnacha, light, ethereal, built on tension and finesse. There’s no lack of concentration however, and they have much more in common with high-end Burgundy than what you would normally associate with Spain. Word is well and truly out on these special wines, with demand far outstripping supply and prices skyrocketing on the secondary market.
Other Reviews....
There is a change in the 2022 La Bruja. It is no longer a village wine from Rozas de Puerto Real. In 2022, it is a regional wine, and in 2023, it also will be a regional wine but from Ávila, from the Cebreros appellation, as they are focusing their work there. It's a juicy and aromatic Garnacha, very much in the Comando G style, with good ripeness, 14% alcohol and more in the style of the 2020. It has a medium-bodied palate and a sapid finish with contained ripeness and fine granite granularity. They macerated less to adapt to the vintage, and it partly fermented with less skins. It's a more approachable La Bruja, expressive, open and more fruit-driven, more in a Morgon style. 56,487 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. Drink 2024-2029.

Other Reviews....
The Rozas 1er Cru has a slight change in 2022 and turned into a village wine, the 2022 Rozas. They selected the best five vineyards that used to go to the Rozas 1er Cru, vineyards they have worked since 2012. In this warmer vintage, they did a softer vinification, with less maceration and more fermentation without skins, to avoid over-ripeness and notes of black fruit in the wine. It has more fruit and some silty tannins, which are more like Italian tannins in the more Mediterranean years like this 2022. This village is more subject to the changes in the years, with more herbal and ethereal notes in the wines in cooler years and juicier and with more marked tannins in the warmer ones. It has 14.5% alcohol and is more jovial, definitely not banal. 10,992 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. Drink 2024-2032.

Other Reviews....
The 2022 Navatalgordo, a village red from the village of the same name, is one of two completely new village wines from 2022, as the one from Rozas is an evolution of the Rozas 1er Cru. This was produced to reflect the character of the village, showcasing wines with tension and sharpness. It comes from soils with lots of quartz and was made with their own grapes and ones purchased from growers that have been working together with them at an average 1,100 meters in altitude. It fermented with full clusters in concrete and oak vats with 35- to 40-day maceration, and its élevage was in concrete and oak foudres. This village produces wines with lower alcohol, lower pH and higher acidity, even in warmer years like 2022. And the wine has more color, even if the alcohol is lower, from the cold. It's a wine that needs more time, more Barolo with a chalky character and slow development. It has a very floral and expressive nose, with electric acidity, and is tense, serious. This is the 2022 that feels less like 2022... Only with time in the glass did it develop some meaty aromas (Bovril?) and spiciness, which pointed at a warmer year and more Gevrey character. It has a contained 13% alcohol and a pH of around 3.0! Incredible parameters for a year like 2022. 11,047 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. Only a little sulfur was added at bottling time, never before, as they feel the profile of the wine is more apt to work without added sulfur. Drink 2024-2034.

The 2021 Las Umbrías is completely unusual. For a start, it's cloudy. They decided to bottle it like that, without racking, and the nose feels like a Poulsard from the Jura produced in Chambolle-Musigny, wild, lively and expressive. It has notes of red fruit, hints of tangerine and flowers. It's cold, ethereal, delicate, with almost unnoticeable tannins, and it's full of crystalline energy, quartz and iron. This is a vineyard that marks the vintages like no other. In great vintages, it has great finesse; and in warmer years, it suffers more. This is not a vintage for all consumers, as the wine is quite different from previous years, with a contained 13.5% alcohol and a vibrant and characterful palate. Magical. A total of 1,490 bottles were filled in March 2023, unfiltered and unfined, as direct as possible from the tank, where it was racked directly from the foudre. Drink 2024-2034.

The 2021 El Tamboril Tinto felt closed and austere like no other wine from the portfolio. This single vineyard from the village of Navatalgordo, the most austere and cold of the villages where they work, is also the highest altitude where they work. After years of working the vineyard, they were able to buy it in 2021; and in 2022, they made even bigger changes in the viticulture (they put in individual sticks for each vine). At 1,200 meters above sea level, this is the coldest place in the coldest vintage, and the soils are as rocky and mineral as it gets. This is a serious and mineral red with a moderate 13.5% alcohol, great freshness and acidity and a palate with very fine, chalky, Barolo-like tannins that make you salivate. It should develop in bottle for a loooooong time. 1,3,42 bottles were filled in April 2023. Drink 2025-2040.

The pale, delicate and ethereal 2021 Tumba del Rey Moro feels more austere than any other vintage of this single-vineyard wine. It comes from vines at 1,100 meters above sea level on granite soils in the village of Villanueva de Ávila and has a notable absence of fruit. Instead, it's mineral and floral, with subtle herbal notes ("piparra" peppers again!). It was harvested around the 12th of October, and by that time, the grapes had had a full development of aromas and flavors. The wine finished with 14% alcohol but with gobsmacking balance and freshness. The alcohol is not noticeable, a constant across the portfolio. The nose was shy at first and took time to develop, but when it did, it was layered and complex, with more Burgundian floral notes. The palate is super austere with lots of energy, reminiscent of liquid granite, with grip and light. It's a sharp vintage of Tumba del Rey Moro. 1,712 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023. Drink 2024-2033.

So ethereal, scented and precise on the nose with huge complexity, but everything remains soft-spoken and quiet. Wet stones, white pepper, tile, and mineral. A little less round and loud than 2020, but this is super nuanced and refined, showing more linearity with chalky tannins. Lovely austerity here, completely stripped down. Ungrafted, north-facing vineyard. Drink or hold.

The 2024 vintage was a warm and dry season which produced pristine, high quality Pinot Gris fruit. Approximately 10% of the wine was wild fermented in older oak barrels and 10% wild fermented in tank; this adds complexity and texture to the wine. The remaining juice was fermented using a range of fermentation techniques and yeast strains to enhance the aromatic characters of the wine.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Intense pear and Jonathan apple aromas fill the nose followed by some musk, subtle honeysuckle and delicate spicy quince notes. Rich, luscious pear and ripe apple fruits infused with musk are delivered with terrific concentration and carry a full, rounded shape. Subtle honeysuckle and quince elements lie underneath. Brisk acidity lends freshness to the long supple and enveloping finish. In a word, delicious.
Drink over the next year.

2019 Chateau Fayau Cadillac

Cadillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2025-2031)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

Sauternes enthusiasts have long known that across the Garonne River they can procure what is arguably the greatest value wine in sweet white Bordeaux, which in exceptional years produces a wine equal to Sauternes which may sell at two or three times its price. This bizarre anomaly is the Chateau Fayau Cadillac, and although the wine cannot be labelled Sauternes as such, it is essentially identical in every way.
A vinous bargain when one considers the prices of top Sauternes houses.
Brilliant straw yellow pale gold tinged colour with a watery hue. Leaping out of the glass are honeyed peach and apricot scents followed by some marmalade, sweet pineapple and delicate spice notes. Luscious yet not heavy or cloying, coating the palate are honey drenched flavours of apricot and peach which are intermeshed with notions of pineapple, marmalade, subtle toffee apple and spice. An underlying freshness lends itself to an agile feel across the long and exotic yet elegant finish.
A beautifully poised Fayau.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

2023 Stargazer Palisander Riesling

Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
$54. 99
Bottle
$659.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Stelvin

This wine comes exclusively from Stargazer's own vineyards in the Tea Tree sub-region of the Coal River Valley, where the vines were planted in 2002. The soil here is clay loam with a high calcium content, which results in thicker grape skins and more flavor. The fruit is handpicked, destemmed, and left on the skins for 12 hours before gentle pressing. The juice is wild fermented in ceramic and concrete egg-shaped containers where it is left to age on lees for a further 10 months, before bottling at 1.2 grams of residual sugar.

2014 Murray McDavid Benchmark Caol Ila 7 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$159. 99
Bottle
$1919.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.2%

Finished for twenty months in 110L 1st fill Koval Rye whisky casks, at nearly 60% ABV, this is a high-impact young Caol Ila and one of the biggest we've tasted to date. Sweet yet fresh with smoked meats, brine and a burgeoning creaminess while effusive aromatics deliver a steady undercurrent of vanillas, keeping pace with oozing peat reek; by the finish, it's ashy, peppery, tangy and citric - all at once. The power and persistence mean you can play around with water to release more of the oils or just let this flavour bomb settle over ice. Either way it's a cracker. 146 bottles only for the Australian importer. 57.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

2008 Murray McDavid Benchmark Single Cask Glenallachie 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Australian Exclusive

Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

ABV: 50%

Present day Glenallachies are either heavily oaked or wine-driven - or both - placing them alongside some of the biggest malts on the market. Here we have an importer's selection that leans away from the extremes of Billy Walker’s official bottlings, straddling a line between older Glendronachs or Glengoynes, making for something more sophisticated in the genre. At first taste, leather and bitter peel lead into biscuity malt followed by juicy oloroso; time in the glass develops hints of honeyed cereals, curaçao, cinnamon buns, cafe cremes, walnuts and dark chocolate. It takes water well, but on its own this is perfectly approachable and worthy of the attention of fans of complex, drier-styled malts. Kudos to the Australian importer for bringing something different to the table! Eleven years in a 600L sherry butt / twenty one months in a 1st fill Oloroso cask. Limited to 287 bottles. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Fleshy nectarine and citrus fruits overlay a delicate dried honey, biscuity oak and gun flint back drop. Lively acidity lends a brisk feel to the refined mid length conclusion.

Other Reviews…..
Ultra-pleasing chardonnay here. Even, flowing richness metered by bright acidity, all the hallmark stone fruits, apple, woody spices, nougat, vanilla going on. Supple but with a faint chalkiness, great extension of flavour, a general sense of vibrancy and drinkability. It feels dictionary definition but also a plus up on that, more of everything, and balanced beautifully. What a delight. Class above its pay grade. Drink by 2030.

Other Reviews….
The classic Barossa fruit profile and lines are here but with a bit more space and mid-weighted verve. Which was exactly the challenge set by a friend of Dean Hewitson and he's nailed the brief. Black and blue fruits, abundant spice, just the right amount of crunch to the fruit, chewy tannin grip and an energetic vibe. It all makes for great drinking. Drink by 2032.

Dave Brookes – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
This has intentionally been made to ensure it drinks well when young, as well as into the future. That it is brilliant value is simply a bonus. A combination of whole berries and those crushed, with several weeks on skins before sixteen months maturation in older French oak barriques. Inky black, the nose exhibits notes of dark chocolate, mocha, roast meats, black cherries and leather. A savoury style with fine balance, there is good intensity here which runs the full journey plus silky tannins and impressive length. The palate sees notes of warm earth and spicy sausages emerge with saturated flavours throughout. Like this a lot and can certainly be enjoyed now, but will also age for a decade at least. Drink 2024-2034.
