Super-dense and packed with flavour but with real verve and brightness. Sutton Grange's location in the granite foothills of Mount Alexander is evident here. Granite provides mineral lift and natural balance, which makes an ideal background for a medium-bodied, black/blue-fruited young syrah. A dash of spice, a hint of cedary oak backed by fine chocolatey tannins rounds this charmer out very well. Drink by 2030.

Bouvet Saumur Brut de Loire

Saumur, Loire Valley, FRANCE
$23. 99
Bottle
$287.88 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

After many years of ownership by Champagne Taittinger, Bouvet Ladubay is once again fully owned by the Monmousseau family who have continuously run the business since their purchase in 1932. Bouvet Ladubay employs precisely the same wine making process as Grand Marque Champagne, delivering French sophistication at an everyday price. The grapes for the Bouvet 'Blanc' Methode Traditionnelle are Chenin Blanc, which had been grown in the Loire Valley prior to the Roman conquest of France. Bouvet source their grapes from 120 properties around Saumur - spread over an area of 15 x 30 kilometres. The notion of using such a diversity of vineyard sites is to provide complexity to the base wines. Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley employ a similar process. These 120 micro climates each provide the blender with base material that when blended together will create the sensation of considerable complexity. The art of blending is critical and at Bouvet the third generation of blenders from the same family are in charge - in fact they have been creating the blend for the last 60 years.
Produced from predominately Chenin Blanc grapes with the addition of some Chardonnay. An exuberant mousse dissipates to reveal a pale straw coloured base that has pale gold tinged edges and a fine persistent bead flowing through it. Lifted ripe pear and red apple scents are followed by some quince and yeasty brioche like notes. Nicely rounded and full in the mouth the palate features pear and apple fruits over brioche and yeast lees characters. Finishes dry with lively acidity and a dash of quince. Concludes gently creamy and very flavoursome.

2021 Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto D'Alba

Piedmont, ITALY
$79. 99
Bottle
$959.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
From a vintage that was especially favorable to this varietal, the 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba shows a firm and solid quality of fruit with rich, juicy flavors of blackberry and sweet cherry. Maria Teresa Mascarello explains that Dolcetto is a very delicate grape that is extremely vintage-sensitive. It needs healthy conditions and steep diurnal temperature shifts, otherwise the berries are compromised. Unfortunately, acreage to Dolcetto is rapidly declining, she explains, because vintners prefer to plant more lucrative Nebbiolo and Barbera instead. Drink 2023-2027.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba is rich, deep and wonderfully expressive. A burst of dark cherry/plum, lavender and spice lends notable richness. In 2021 the Dolcetto marries sumptuous fruit with a total sense of classicism that is so appealing. The 2021 is a super-Dolcetto. Don't miss it! Drink 2022-2031.

2018 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo

$5988.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
This is a superbly delicate and carefully finessed wine that interprets the growing season with its alternating cold and hot intervals in an impeccable manner. The Bartolo Mascarello 2018 Barolo puts Nebbiolo and the vintage seamlessly together like lock and key. It opens to a beautiful drinking experience. The bouquet shows detail and finely tuned aromas of redcurrant, violet, rusty nail and blood orange. On the palate, this Barolo is so shiny and polished that it feels like silk. Without a doubt, this is one of the top wines of 2018. Drink 2026-2050.

Monica Larner - Wine Advocate (Jun 24, 2022)
The 2018 Barolo is a wine of extreme elegance and nuance. Dried red cherry, tobacco, dried flowers, mint and sweet spice are all nicely lifted in this sublime, delicate Barolo. All the elements fall into place so effortlessly. The 2018 naturally does not have the body of more important years, but it offers tons of persistence and fine balance. It has closed down quite a bit since I first tasted it a few months ago, which is probably a good sign. An opened bottle just got better and better over time. Drink 2028-2043.
94 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Lush and pure, the 2018 Barolo is a medium and transparent ruby hue, with aromas of fresh roses, wet stone, and ripe raspberry. This medium-bodied red is luxurious. with a silky and viscous texture and generous notes of ripe red cherry, warming cardamom spice, and soft earth. Elegant and long through the palate, with no harshness, it is drinking beautifully now or will continue to drink well over the next 15 years. Fermentation saw 45 days on the skins with a submerged cap. Drink 2023-2038.

Christian Drouin Reserve Calvados (700ml)

Normandy, FRANCE
$119. 99
Bottle
$1439.88 Dozen

ABV: 40%

Between September and November, Drouin harvests thirty organically grown apple varieties including bitter, bitter-sweet, sweet and sharp cider, then naturally ferments them. Typically kept for months in vats and tuns, young cider is distilled to produce fruity spirits destined to be sold as young calvados, while cider that’s kept longer is distilled around June to produce a more robust spirit better suited to long ageing. Drouin uses casks that may have previously contained sherry, port, rivesaltes (a type of sweet wine) and banyuls (French fortified wine). In this example, the Réserve is a blend of several distillates mostly aged in smaller used casks. The style intends to offer a nice balance between primary orchard fruit notes and spices. 40% Alc./Vol.

Lindores The Casks of Lindores Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$124. 99
Bottle
$1499.88 Dozen

ABV: 49.4%

Fully matured in Oloroso butts as evidenced by the spectacular colour, this is the third and final bottling of a limited edition series making up the core cask types of Lindores Abbey MCDXCIV. Our tasting from a 20ml sample revealed a medium bodied style that falls into a fresher sherried spectrum. Early cocoa and walnut fudge are followed by prunes and fruit bread while late hints of dried figs, cinnamon and fruity dark chocolate add interest. Elegance is the key word here, which is unexpected for such a relatively young malt. 49.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Mellow fruity prunes, dates, molasses, touches of vanilla and milk chocolate. Palate: Mellow dried fruits, molasses, dark chocolate with layers of cinnamon and ginger combined with a pleasant nuttiness like walnuts and chestnuts. Smooth texture. Finish Medium to long.

Lowlands, SCOTLAND
$124. 99
Bottle
$1499.88 Dozen

ABV: 49.4%

The second release in the "Casks of Lindores" series, created to showcase the award winning spirit of Lindores Abbey distillery and the three core cask types used to mature its flagship malt. This one's matured exclusively in STR (shaved, toasted & re-charred) red wine barriques. Our tiny sample suggested a youthful, zesty, full-flavoured dram defined by rich oak character, balanced by fresher orchard fruit notes through the finish - in particular ripe plums and pears. Straightforward but very tasty, it comes bottled at 49.4% vol. with zero chill filtration.
Notes from the producers... Nose: Mellow fruity apricot jam, toffee notes and a hint of cinnamon combined with butter and custard. Palate: Sweet and spices. Mellow plums and red berries, treacle, cinnamon spice and a pleasant woody smoky note. Very smooth, silky texture. Finish: Medium to long with spices, honey and caramel notes.

Holyrood Charmed Circle Strong Waters Golden Promise Spirit Drink (700ml)

Edinburgh, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $119.99
$89. 99
Bottle
$1079.88 Dozen

ABV: 43%

Other reviews... Golden Promise, superb barley (think Macallan), but lower yields than those of newer and blander strains. What would you think the industry did when those came out? Bingo. Colour: white. Nose: chevalier was deeper and sweeter on the nose, golden promise is fatter, less 'sweet', more on grassy and fattish elements, oils, earths, root vegetables… Chevalier just killed you, this is more introspective… Mouth: indeed, fat, rawer, tougher, probably needing more aging (and perhaps proper sherry casks). Even at 43%, it is a tad tough and brutal. Finish: artichokes, perhaps? Comments: I could down a magnum of the chevalier, I'm not sure I would quaff a wee glass of the golden promise in this state. But what you do get here is the potential. Remember the old saying, when the new-make's too good, the whisky will be crap. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

Other reviews... Obviously not whisky, but they've used Chevalier, an older, higher-quality strain of barley. In French, chevalier means knight, just so that you're in the know. Colour: white. Nose: exactly what we've always dreamed of, some proper barley eau-de-vie, rather than just raw newmake. I find this utterly stunning, deep, complex, with some buttered caramel, quince pie, dried jujubes, goji, even umami, lees, ale… Wow wow wow! Mouth: perfect. This is the spirit. Barley in majesty, breads, ales and stouts, figs, fudge, butterscotch, pear liqueur… Even the strength of 43% vol. is perfect in this context. Finish: medium, earthy, terroiry (hey hey) and just f…… good. Apologies. Comments: I remember when I first tried white Clairin from Haiti. Similar feelings. Oh and yes, some new clairins soon on WF! 89 points - whiskyfun.com

Guiborat Prisme.17 Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Champagne, FRANCE
Reduced from $175.00
$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

Champagne Guiborat is based in the grand cru village of Cramant, right in the heart of the Cote de Blancs. Much of their vineyards are planted in the deep chalk soils of Cramant and Chouilly grand crus, along with a parcel in the Marne near Epernay where they have some Pinot Meunier. While they own 8 hectares of vineyards, three quarters of their production is sold off to Laurent-Perrier, keeping only the best parcels for their own label.
Prisme is a 100% Chardonnay cuvee exclusively from old vine parcels owned by the family, namely Les Bergeries (Cramant, planted in 1984), Le Mont Aigu (Chouilly, planted in 1970 and 1979), and Les Caurés (Chouilly, planted in 1946 and 1988). The emphasis with Prisme is to display the transparent nature that the chalk soils of Cramant and Chouilly lend to these wines. Vinification occurs in 96% stainless steel, with the balance in neutral oak barrels. Following 7 months on lees the wine is assembled and sees a further 44 months on lees in bottle, and 12 months resting in the cellar before release. Dosage is a very low 1.5g/L.
Other Reviews....
The NV Extra-Brut Prisme . 17 is a taut, chiseled wine, based on the 2017 vintage with 13% reserve wines. Offering up notes of citrus zest, verbena, warm bread and fresh herbs, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, with racy acids underpinning an attractive core of ripe fruit. Drink 2023 - 2029.

ABV: 12.5%

Much of their vineyards are planted in the deep chalk soils of Cramant and Chouilly grand crus, along with a parcel in the Marne near Epernay where they have some Pinot Meunier. While they own 8 hectares of vineyards, three quarters of their production is sold off to Laurent-Perrier, keeping only the best parcels for their own label.
In certain years Richard Fouquet will release a wine solely from the Mont-Aigu parcel (planted 1970), however in the warmer years he chooses to combine fruit from this warm site with the cooler exposure of the Caures vineyard (planted 1946). This 100% Chardonnay cuvee is vinified in stainless steel and rests on lees for 6 months, before a further 68 months on lees in bottle prior to being disgorged with 1.5g/L dosage.
Other Reviews....
Incorporating some 16% of lieu-dit Caurés to temper the richness of Montaigu in sunny vintages, Guiborat's 2015 Extra-Brut De Caurés à Montaigu offers up aromas of crisp green apple, white flowers, citrus oil, freshly baked bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's racy and charming, with a pure core of fruit, a pillowy mousse and a chalky finish. Drink 2023 - 2038.

2019 Chateau La Tour Blanche

Sauternes, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

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 2019 La Tour Blanche has an open, well-defined, slightly Germanic bouquet that gains more intensity with aeration. Just a slight smokiness develops in the glass. The palate is very detailed with fine mineralité, taut and focused, real grip and weight with a persistent finish. This is a classy Sauternes, beautifully crafted and destined to age with aplomb in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Drink 2028-2060.

James Suckling
Another beautiful wine from this estate, the 2019 La Tour Blanche has a medium-gold hue as well as a classic Sauternes bouquet of honeyed peach, white flowers, ginger, and tangerines. Rich and medium to full-bodied, it displays a terrific balance between its sweetness and acidity, a great mid-palate, and certainly no shortage of length on the finish.

White pear, peach and green apple on the nose alongside some candied lemon notes. This is clean and pure with excellent acidity. Quite expressive and pronounced flavours of sherbet lemon, bright and zesty, with some caramel notes and burnt orange bitter edges. I like the overall feel, it's well balanced and fresh with real clarity. One that is more approachable right now. Drink 2027 - 2045.

2018 Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex Magnum (1500ml)

Pouilly Fume, Loire Valley, FRANCE
$850. 00
Bottle
$10200.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre are the global benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc, and there is no bigger name or more highly regarded producer in the area than Domaine Didier Dagueneau. Now under the guidance of Didier's talented son Louis-Benjamin, the wines still follow his ethos that authentic Pouilly Fumé requires healthy fruit from low yielding, old vines to produce the purest, and most intense and vibrantly fresh wine. That's not to say these wines are typical of the appellation. Given the severely low yields and approach to élevage, Dagueneau wines emphasise a creamy texture rather than bracing acidity, and combine mineral flavours with exotic fruits to supreme effect.
For many, the aptly named Silex is the pinnacle not only in the Dagueneau range, but in all of Pouilly Fumé. Hailing from a north facing vineyard rich in flint soils, the emphasis with Silex is the pure mineral traits Pouilly Fumé is famous for, yet with intensity and focus dialled up to eleven. Silex can take a few years in the cellar to fully express the core of citrus fruit among the smoke and flint notes; however history has proven it is well worth the wait. Dagueneau's Silex is a class leading icon of the Loire Valley.
Other Reviews....
Perhaps the most famous of the Dagueneau cuvées, the 2018 Silex is flowing and accessible on entry, but then it coils and tightens. The silex (flint) soil gives firmness, imbuing structure and steely tension. Power and concentration combine, providing an almost waxy texture on the finish. Flavors of spiced apples, almonds and pastry linger. It's just not quite as long as expected. Tasted over three days. Drink 2021 - 2028.

2020 Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Beaune Montrevenots Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine is one of the true quiet achievers in Burgundy, where they produce outstanding wines from their home in the picturesque hamlet of Pernand-Vergelesses, just north of Beaune. It's perhaps this setting, away from the feverish scouring of wines further north in the Cote de Nuits, that has allowed the domaine to fly under the radar. Certainly it has meant these wines can be found for a fraction of what we're now accustomed to seeing from Burgundy.
The domaine is under the guidance of fifth generation winemaker and owner Christine Gruere-Dubreuil, who has been joined recently by her daughter Clémentine. While they farm vineyards as far south as Volnay and Pommard, much of their production is centred around Pernand, including excellent sites on the Corton grand cru hillside, along with the leading premier cru of Savigny-les-Beaune; Les Vergelesses. All reds are 100% destemmed before spending 12-15 months in barrel, with 35% new wood used on the grand cru wines to around 15% maximum on the remainder of their range.
Other Reviews....
A very ripe nose freely reveals its aromas of mocha, dark currant, plum liqueur and plenty of earth character. The sleek, delicious and nicely vibrant flavors possess very good richness that terminate in a balanced finale where a hint of bitter pit fruit eventually emerges. Drink through 2028+.

Seductive aromas of red to dark raspberries, red liquorice and red cherries intermingle with scorched earth and light pepper notes. On the mid weighted palate rich dark raspberry, black cherry and red liquorice fruits make for an intriguing mix of flavours. Infusions of herbs du Provence, scorched earth and blackpepper lend further interest.

Lastly, and a wine that will be a candidate for perfection in 4-5 years, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Centenaire reveals a deep ruby/purple hue as well as extraordinary notes of black cherries, licorice, iron, nori, and peppery garrigue. As with the base 2019, the estate did an incredible job with the tannins, and this wine is flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and the sheer class to evolve for 25+ years. This is a perfect example of power with no sensation of weight or heaviness. The blend in 2019 is 84% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and 6% Syrah, and it wasn’t destemmed and was brought up mostly in concrete tanks, with just 6% in very old barrels. Drink 2021 - 2046.

The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire is approximately 84% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 6% Syrah, predominantly from a vineyard planted in the late 19th century. Aged almost entirely in foudre, it nevertheless hints at smoke and campfire on the nose while remaining dominated by black cherries and red raspberries. Full-bodied and concentrated, with ample depth and richness, this really shows its class on the long, silky, mouthwatering finish. It should drink well for upwards of a decade. Tasted blind. Drink 2023 - 2035.

Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate (May 2022)
A rich and very concentrated Chateauneuf with impeccable balance between the huge fine tannins, red fruits, candied orange peel and dried flowers. So powerful, but not a jot overbearing, this is only just beginning to reveal its enormous depths. Extremely dense long finish. Wait long enough and this will taste like Grand Cru Burgundy on steroids! Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

2020 Domaine de Vaccelli Granit Blanc

Corsica, FRANCE
Reduced from $185.00
$160. 00
Bottle
$1920.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Vaccelli's Granit Blanc is a selection of 100% Vermentinu vines 26 years old on average, sitting at the highest part on the hill facing the sea. This aspect lends a gentle salinity to the complex range of lemon and yellow stone fruit flavours, driven long on the palate with wet stone mineral streak. Another outstanding example of how in the right hands Vermentino has the capacity to engage the senses as well as any other white varietal.

One of the few blends produced by Vaccelli, Quartz Rouge is a mix of 40% Carcajolo, 40% Minustellu, and 20% Sciaccarellu. Among the Vaccelli reds, Quartz is a more impactful example, with the power of Minustellu and the structure of the Carcajolo supported by the intense fruity character of Sciaccarellu. Tannins are fine, guiding the conclusion to this delicious, energetic red.

Closure: Cork

Quartz Blanc is one of the few blends produced by Vaccelli, using a mix of four white grape varieties native to Corsica: Carcaghjolu Bianco, Riminese, Ghjenuvese and Cudiverta. A relatively new wine in the range, the vines for Quartz were planted in 2013 on sandy granitic soils. Quartz displays a harmonious balance between the fleshy citrus and green fruit, supported by white florals, honey, and a sappy bitter spice finish. Layered over this profile is a hint of curry leaf and wisps of smoke normally associated with premium Jura Savagnin.

$1139.88 Dozen

ABV: 15%

Closure: Cork

With the world of fine wine expanding all the time, new names continually rise to prominence and quality estates don't stay hidden for long. Domaine de Vaccelli is one such winery, deserving of their reputation as one of the most exciting projects in the market today. Bottles of Vaccelli are now quickly finding their way on to Michelin star restaurant wine lists, and into the cellars of collectors around the globe. This tiny winery based in Cognocoli-Monticchi on the island of Corsica champions local varieties Sciaccarellu (red) and Vermentinu (white), elevating each to a level of refinement seen only in the greatest wines of the world.
Initially formed in the 1960's by Roger Courrèges, the estate is now run by his grandchildren Nathalie and Gérard Courrèges. Certified organic since 2008, all vineyard work is performed by hand, while only native yeast is used during vinification which occurs in stainless steel tanks. Wines are then aged in a combination of stainless steel, barrique, 600L demi-muids and concrete eggs.
As to the style of wines, Vermentinu, or Vermentino as it's more commonly spelt, is the most important white varietal on Corsica where it excels in the wind swept sea side hills. Often fragrant and delicately fruited, Vaccelli produces examples displaying vibrant minerality with a gentle spiciness and ample racy acidity. These are complex whites that speak clearly of their island home and are notable for their supreme detail and balance.
On the red side, Sciaccarellu is the dominant variety where it thrives in the dry soils of Corsica. Known as Mammolo in its home of Tuscany, here it produces wines pale in colour yet generous in fruit and spice, with the slightly elevated alcohol balanced by fresh acidity. You'd be forgiven for thinking these were high altitude Nebbiolo such as Gattinara, and drinkers of these northern Italian reds will find much to enjoy here.
The Vaccelli Rouge is a blend of two parcels of 25+ year old Sciaccarellu vines, one exposed east-west, and the other one north-south. Flavours range from dark plum and kirsch to blood orange and mint, framed by firm, al dente tannins. Light in body yet powerful in flavour, there's more than a passing resemblance to alto Piedmont Nebbiolo here, and would charm drinkers seeking an alternative to those northern Italian reds.

2020 Domaine de Vaccelli Vaccelli Rose

Bottle
$839.88 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Much of the reputation for Corsican wine lays in the production of cheap and plentiful rosé, yet Vaccelli target a more serious and food friendly example. Vaccelli Rosé is 100% Sciaccarellu from vines averaging 30 years old and planted on slopes of sandy granitic soils. Pale onion skin in colour, juicy white strawberry and peach fruit abounds married to citrus peel and white florals. A gastronomic rosé with ageing potential of 6-8 years.
Other Reviews....
From 20-year-old Sciaccarellu vines on granite soils, the 2020 Ajaccio Rosé was matured for 19 months, including 11 months in wooden tanks and 600-liter barrels on the lees. It has a delicate, very fresh bouquet with aromas of spices, garrigue, lemon oil, iodine and candied orange. Medium to full-bodied, with a textural and silk structure, it’s built around bright acids and a lingering, salty finish. This vintage can be approached with pleasure even if it has 3-5 years of evolution ahead of it. Drink 2023-2030.

Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Rosés, when properly vinified, can age extremely well, and this is the case with this stunning 2020 Ajaccio Rosé. The color is beginning to evolve slightly, but it's the nose in particular that is absolutely fascinating. It evokes candied grapefruit, cranberries, and an exquisite note of kirsch. The texture on the palate is based on an almost perfect balance between power and finesse, with high-quality tannins. With superb length on the palate, this rosé oscillates between delicacy and vinosity. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Drink 2025-2029.

Column distilled from Perry Pears and cider apples. While Pays d'Auge Calvados typically benefits from extended ageing, Calvados from the Domfrontais region is more approachable young. Add old oak to the mix and the result is a deliciously fruity expression: Brimming with apple tart, ripe pear and orchard cider flavours and balanced by hints of cinnamon and crisp acidity, this is the perfect choice for Summer sipping or long drinks. 40% Alc./Vol.

Kirin Fuji Single Grain Japanese Whisky (700ml)

JAPAN
$149. 99
Bottle
$1799.88 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"Fuji proves once again that Japan knows its way not just around distilling but also blending. Exceptional stuff." - drinkhacker.com
While most other Japanese distilleries have followed the methods of Scotland, Mt. Fuji Distillery is influenced by major whisk(e)y producers all around the world, which explains this tri-part blend distilled using three different methods, each giving their own unique flavour profile. Although the exact mash-bill isn't stated, the backbone of the spirit is reported to be a 'Canadian style' grain, made with a batch distillation in something similar to a kettle still. That's supported by a Bourbon-style distillate using a doubler, and a third Scotch-style light grain put through a continuous multi-column still. The triptych of profiles comes through in the flavours. Fuji smells a little more malt-like than typical single grain with creamy soda and vanilla enhanced by delicate fruity notes like stewed pears and caramelised apples. It's also fuller, richer and with more texture than you'd anticipate. There are the expected lashings of vanilla wafer, however they hover over a backdrop of poached orchard fruits and warming wood spices, followed by more creamy soda, hints of dried banana and a lovely flourish of American oak giving a Bourbonesque or light rye character to the finish. This release was initially for bars only, but from early 2021 it became available to regular tipplers in Japan and then abroad. A good thing. It's a single grain with terrific mouthfeel, and one that deserves a wide audience. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... The elegant nose on this blend of grain whiskies produced by Mount Fuji Distillery has aromas of ground hazelnut, black tea, chestnut flour, mild baking spices, ripe orchard fruits, citrus zest, and elderflower. The palate is packed with orchard fruit, orange, pepper, and chicory, with bitter bark, pepper, and wood spices showing more grain whisky character, and ends with nutty notes and a short finish of cinnamon and oak. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...So many grain whiskeys have a tired quality of doughy breakfast cereal that dominates the palate, but Fuji feels incredibly lively and focused on its apple and pear elements, notes of brown sugar and butterscotch — touched lightly with florals — dominating completely. Much more overtly enjoyable than your typical grain whiskey bottling — even most very well-aged ones — Fuji proves once again that Japan knows its way not just around distilling but also blending. Exceptional stuff. - drinkhacker.com
Notes from the producers... NOSE Aromas of poached pear, rustic fruit tart, Cognac and marron glacé. PALATE Seamless mouthfeel with multi layered flavours of poached pear, orange marmalade, raspberry jam, baking spices, and bitter chocolate. FINISH Mellow with gentle sweetness and pleasant spiciness, smooth with medium length finish and a hint of exotic incense.

2019 Maison Valette Vire-Clesse Et Pourtant...

Burgundy, FRANCE
$185. 00
Bottle
$2220.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

For three generations, the Valette family has lived in Chaintré, a small village on the border between Mâconnais and Beaujolais. They grow only Chardonnay on fifteen acres scattered in five villages. The domain was created in 1977, when Gérard Valette was one of the first in the area to leave the local cooperative and start bottling his own wine. After completing wine training, son Philippe joined in 1990 and then decided to convert the family's vineyards to organic farming, using biodynamic methods since 1992.
The Valette's are known for their specific style, wines raised with thorough lees-contact and without racking. They have remained true to this style of winemaking since the 1950s. It is a sort of family tradition that requires accuracy as well as painstaking detail knowledge of the indigenous yeasts and the wine’s proneness to develop reductive flavours. If the estate's wines through the late 1990s were simply powerful, textural examples of high-quality white Burgundy, the wines being released today belong in a category of their own. Complex and sapid, these are fascinating wines although you should be prepared to find wines that are quite different from any of the Valettes' neighbours. Anyone who appreciates the Jura bottlings of Jean-François Ganevat or the Thomas Pico Chablis wines is likely to love them.
Vire-Clesse Et Pourtant.. hails from plots where the soils contain high levels of limestone lending an extra level of freshness and intensity to the wine. Average age of the vines here is 60 years old, and following vinification the wine is aged for 30 months in older barrels. As with all of Valette's wines, this will benefit from extended aeration so decanting is recommended.

$3000.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

A youthful Glenrothes double barelled by Dumangin in their trademark Ratafia cask selection. Disgorged in 2020, No.T-131 yielded 344 bottles at 46% Alc./Vol.
Gilles Dumangin returned to the family Domain in 2000 after studying in London. A small wine merchant, not far from Harrods had introduced him to a Tain L'Hermitage finished single malt. It was love at first taste. Gilles was inspired to create his own delicately tannic 'Ratafias Champenois' (a fortified wine made with Champagne must and Champagne based spirits) using second-fill barrels from the Côtes-du-Rhône Septentrionales (x-Syrah). He now applies the same principles to single cask whiskies - this time with a Champagne twist, using the same barrels that aged his Ratafia Champenois.
The Dumangin whiskies follow in the footsteps of French pioneers like Michel Couvreur - only there's another layer of expertise bought to the table. While Gilles clearly has a 'magic touch' when it comes to selecting and maturing world class singles and grains, he isn't just a buyer and bottler. He's an acclaimed winemaker applying his know-how. Whiskies arrive in Champagne to complete their maturation in 228 litre barriques in the cellars at Chigny-les-Roses. The Ratafia finishing gives them a distinctive signature: a subtle yet delicious, creamy, fruity twist unique to Champagne.

Arran ten year old now comes with a puff of smoke: It's the newly presented Machrie Moor matured for a decade in first-fill bourbon casks, and the third in a series of light to medium peated styles offered by the distillery. Described as a bit of a chameleon that changes in the glass, it is something like a Port Charlotte only with less smoke and more fruit - or perhaps more like a Campbeltowner? The nose delivers what the label suggests - peat, only in a dry, non-confrontational manner that becomes more polite and fruity after air contact. The most likeable thing about this whisky is the twist on the palate. Expecting something peaty, instead you get a delicious fruit-salad; the juiciness of the malt makes for a sweet, succulent finish before leaving you with an oily, warming, brine and pepper tang. Nice coastal vibe. We're heading towards Springbank rather than Laphroaig. Tasted from a 30ml sample. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Closure: Cork

Stéphane Tissot is a tireless and vigorous promoter of individual sites and natural wines. He brings technological experience from his work in Australia and South Africa, and combines this with his ruthless yield reduction philosophy and very serious 'small batch' winemaking which is carried out as naturally as possible. Tissot plants mostly on clay and limestone, all sites are farmed biodynamically and yields are kept low, averaging only 30 h/l per hectare. Ferments are allowed to commence naturally and the still wines are bottled without filtration and little or no SO2 is added across the board. Vibrancy and fruit presence is a signature across all his wines. Given Stéphane is constantly experimenting and obsessively seeking improvements; he is at the forefront of the Jura revolution and produces terroir-driven wines of depth, intensity, interest and undeniable quality.
The low-yielding biodynamic Savagnin grapes for these Vin Jaunes are hand-picked and the juice fermented in steel tanks. The mostly clay soils give wines of higher acidity (whereas limestone gives less acidity and more minerality), and strong backbone. After the primary fermentation the wine is part-filled (around 85%) into old barrels (228 lt. usually) and a 'flor' yeast veil or 'voile' develops on the surface of the wine, protecting it from oxidation and adding complex aromas and flavours to the wine. The barrels are stored in a cool but 'airy' cellar (not underground) for around 6-7 years so the dryer atmosphere causes the evaporation of water and therefore concentration of flavours and reduction of the wine volume. In fact, usually only 620ml. (the size of a Vin Jaune bottle) remains from a litre. This is very expensive wine to make, as not only is there a huge volume loss, but often some barrels need to be culled.
Chateau Chalon is no doubt the greatest site in the Jura for making Vin Jaune, the Grand Cru if you will, and produces wines with a touch more finesse than the other single site Vin Jaune in this collection.

After the primary fermentation the wine is part-filled (around 85%) into old barrels (228 lt. usually) and a 'flor' yeast veil or 'voile' develops on the surface of the wine, protecting it from oxidation and adding complex aromas and flavours to the wine. The barrels are stored in a cool but 'airy' cellar (not underground) for around 6-7 years so the dryer atmosphere causes the evaporation of water and therefore concentration of flavours and reduction of the wine volume. In fact, usually only 620ml. (the size of a Vin Jaune bottle) remains from a litre. This is very expensive wine to make, as not only is there a huge volume loss, but often some barrels need to be culled.
La Mailloche has a gentle east aspect and very degraded soils of Liassic clay. Another wine with good firmness and seductive weight with some nice bitterness.

2018 Georges Laval Les Chenes Brut Nature Champagne

Champagne, FRANCE
$550. 00
Bottle
$6600.00 Dozen

ABV: 12.5%

Closure: Cork

While the Laval family has been growing vines for four generations, it was not until 1971 that Georges Laval began producing estate-bottled Champagne. Now under the direction of George's son Vincent, this is one of the great under the radar properties in the region. Laval’s vineyard holdings comprise just 2.5 hectares, most in the premier cru village of Cumières. Across the seven parcels the average vine age is over 30 years, with the oldest vines of the estate over 70 years of age. Organic viticulture has been practiced since 1971, and despite the challenges of this approach in Champagne, they are now certified by Ecocert. Laval’s wines are harvested ripe and almost never chaptalized, and fermentation takes place in barrel, with indigenous yeasts. The wines are bottled late, usually about ten months after the harvest, and they are neither fined, filtered nor cold-stabilized.
Les Chenes is Vincent Laval's dense and powerful 100% Chardonnay cuvée from a lieu-dit of the same name, made only in exceptional years. After harvesting fully ripe grapes, the wine spends around 10 months in barrel before another 4 years in bottle prior to disgorgement with zero dosage.

2017 Georges Laval Les Hautes Chevres Brut Nature Champagne

Les Hautes Chevres is a tiny selection of old vine Pinot Meunier planted in 1930, 1947, 1965, and 1971. Unfortunately the 1930 parcel needed to be replaced following the 2014 harvest, yet these are still some of the oldest Meunier vines in the area. Situated at the top of the slope within the Cumieres vineyard, this tiny parcel sits on a layer of fine clay over a firm limestone bedrock base, and produces Meunier with a rich and multi-dimensional profile, further heightened as the wine ages in bottle. This micro-cuvée is one of the rarest and most sought after in the region. Bottled with zero dosage.

Vincent produces one of the most singular expressions of Rosé Champagne, very much in the style of red Burgundy with bubbles. A rough split of 50/50 Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are picked as whole bunches and carefully crushed by foot with a healthy amount of skin contact leading to a bold, vibrant red colour. Expect a rich, layered, and unquestionable detailed rosé unlike anything else you will have encountered.

Risky Business Prosecco

King Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$21. 99
Bottle
$263.88 Dozen

ABV: 10.5%

Closure: Crown Seal

A buoyant fluffy white mousse subsides to reveal a pale straw coloured base that has a steady stream of bubbles coursing through it. Distinct pear and ripe apple scents jump out of the glass with some quince and sherbet like notes also evident. Light and airy across the palate pear, green apple and citrus flavours overlay a delicate baked bread background. Vivid acidity leads into a mouth-wateringly fresh aftertaste.
Alc. 10.5%

Other Reviews…..
Risky Business has been sourcing prosecco from the King Valley for nearly 10 years. There's an enviable consistency to style. It's seen here from the bright, just-cut green apple and citrus summery scents through to the utterly delicious lemon sorbet crunch and bubbly zing on the palate. And dry ... prosecco looks so good when it's dry and clean-cut.

Cadenheads Original Collection Heaven Hill 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (700ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

"...super good! More grasses and herbs, even mosses, green spices, citrus peel… Not sure all that is very 'bourbon', but I really like this development. " - whiskyfun.com
An American with a traditional sweetness that carries on consistently through the dram in the form of fruit notes. The finish reminded the Cadenhead's tasting panel of a piña colada cocktail. Even from a tiny sample, aromas billow from the glass, mixing up tinned peaches with vanilla gobstopper and Bounty bar. Eminently sipable with a nice fruity-oak-corn sweetness, the finish is nutty and riddled with sweet wood shavings followed by late cinnamon and coconut. Doing what any good indie should do, Cadenheads have bottled a whiskey that takes you off the beaten track. Aficionados should have fun comparing it against mainstream styles. 46% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... It's good that those very distinguished people at Cadenhead's would have made it clear that this was ex-bourbon barrel. You never know… Colour: straw. Nose: it's almost as if this was matured in fresh oak for only two or three years and then re-racked in refill. Soft vanillas, brioches and sponge cakes, barley syrup (yes), nougat and popcorn, perhaps tangerines… Mouth: super good! More grasses and herbs, even mosses, green spices, citrus peel… Not sure all that is very 'bourbon', but I really like this development. Goes towards cinnamon and soft peppers then, which was more expected, naturally. Finish: rather long, a tad oakier. Nice green fruits, green plums, rhubarb… Comments: a bourbon that's gone a little towards Scotch, you could almost call it a malty bourbon. 84 points - whiskyfun.com
Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Coconut, strawberry laces, leather. Flavour: Almonds, dark chocolate, pineapple. Finish: Dry. Kiwi fruit, piña colada.
