2018 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Burgundy
In Bottle. Two plots, one all pinot from 1926, the other more pinot than Gamay 70 year old. 65% stems in the first plot, 100% in the second, with gamay finally being no more than 10% of the total. Brilliantly perfumed, with the gamay still making its presence felt on the nose in angular fashion, with pink raspberry fruit on the palate and significant length. An excellent example. Tasted: November 2019. 87/100 4* Star Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

From 80 to 90 year old vines with <10% gamay. There is plenty of freshly turned, and pungent, earth character on the somewhat gamy aromas of wild red and dark berries. The earth continues onto the solidly voluminous and rich middle weight flavors that possess very good punch while exhibiting excellent depth and persistence for the genre on the rustic finale. What is all the more impressive is that this wine should have no trouble aging well too if that's your preference. In sum, this is a very good PTG. 87/100 Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, Burghound

2019 Bourgogne Aligoté, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Bruno Clavelier, Burgundy
From 95+ year old vines where most of the fruit is from Aligoté Doré and is vinified and raised in stainless steel.

Bright and ripe aromas include those of apple, citrus and various spice elements. The delicious and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in an impressively complex, lingering and highly refreshing finish. This is an unusually good example of the genre and enthusiastically recommended. 88/100 Outstanding Top value Allen Meadows, Burghound

In bottle. This comes from Aligoté d’oré vines planted in 1926 and yielding just 25 hl/ha. Given that, this is not going to be a nervy Aligoté to be sure. But it is a beautiful wine with its pretty pale colour, and graciously perfumed bouquet. There is excellent acidity at the back and a concentration of fresh fruit for the finish. Tasted: November 2019. 87/100 4* Star Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

1 x Yamawa style (山和 Style):
immaculate balance of gentle ginjo notes with refreshing acidity & supremely refined umami. "aesthetics of subtraction" true to the adage of Yamawa Shuzo, Yamadanishiki is expressed in its opulence, yet brilliantly restrained.
1 x Hagino Tsuru style (萩の鶴 Style):
juicy acidity bursting forth with exuberant tropical notes, culminating to a restrained, sharap finish. as the artwork depicts, a free-spirited & fun adventure awaits!

Yamakan Daiginjo (2^nd release), Katsuyama & Abekan - 大吟醸ヤカマン, 勝山 x 阿部勘 　
The Yamakan 2^nd release is definitely worth trying and will make a great addition to any gathering. It combines two brewing styles, producing a unique, high-quality sake whose aroma has a well-balanced body and taste is incredibly smooth with a subtle richness. This sake will take you on a journey of the senses and its complexity of flavor will satisfy even the most discerning palates. An unforgettable taste has been created by this blend of two different sake Brewery.

“Ice Valley” sake, Summer Limited, Katsuyama 　
Experience the unique taste of "Katsuyama ICE VALLEY" - a departure from Katsuyama's traditional aromatic and sweet sake. Enjoy its dry and rich flavor straight, chilled, or on the rocks with ice, for a delightful combination of refreshing ripe Japanese peach aroma, natural umami, and a crisp mouth-watering finish. Customize your experience by adding yuzu or lime for a light, subtle taste.

The 2001 Calon-Ségur has a delightful bouquet, very pure and a little more vivacious than the preceding vintage, featuring lovely brambly red fruit, rose petals, autumn leaves and a touch of cigar box, all well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little more cohesive than the 2000, and slightly granular in texture, with a graceful, elegant and quite persistent finish. This is one of the few châteaux where it's difficult to choose between the 2001 and 2000. Drinking perfectly now. Drink 2021 - 2045

A truly stunning and huge wine, Gruaud has often been a little rustic but the 2010 is refined, yet overflowing in all departments. The highest levels of tannins ever seen at Gruaud are quietened and second string to the dense yet beautifully focused, cool fruit. A powerful experience with waves of precisely defined blackberry fruit, super-fine tannins and freshness which will all help to see this become a long-lived wine and probably one of the best value wines of the vintage - a triumph.Martin

A blend of 62 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 36 percent Merlot and two percent Petit Verdot. Dark crimson in colour, the wine has a deft touch, the hallmark of winemaker Nicholas Audebert, and a finesse and elegance about it this year with a velvety texture. It finishes fresh with a long, persistent length.

Dark fruit with cedar and herbal notes on the nose. Some meat, too. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Juicy and savory character on the palate with a balanced structure. Flavorful finish. Second wine. Try after 2023 when it will be more together.

Evocelles was hit by a cataclysmic hailstorm in 2021; there’ll be hardly any wine next year. The three hectares of vines are at the top, touching the treeline (so of interest to the local wild boar). There’s Brochon spice, tight fruit and tannin. With 30% whole-bunch, this is a wine of vitality, finishing with some white pepper. Drink 2023-2029.

Bodegas C.V.N.E. is still owned and run by the Real de Asua family whose ancestors established it back in 1879. Its full name is Compañía Vinicola del Norte de España but it more commonly known as "coonay".

In the late 1980s the firm built a spanking new stainless steel winery in the town of Haro and is now producing thoroughly "modern" style Rioja wines. Both red and whites are produced and their white Rioja is one of the few remaining heavily-oaked examples on the market today.

The 2 different ranges of C.V.N.E, the Vina Real and Imperial, are rich, full-bodied Riojas, with the Reservas and Grand Reservas being some of the most long-lived in the region today.

The secret of Tempranillo seems to reside in its hidden depth; gregarious and initially appearing far too attractive to be remotely serious, this wine gradually revels the true depth of its personality; the black fruits are ripe of course , but are backed by notes of laurel, licorice, garrigue and forest floor; the tannins are finely-tuned needless to say, but are swathed in a fine minerality; all in all this is clearly very fine indeed. Juan Carlos thinks it more closely resembles 2004 than 2001, but is sure that it will be better than both of them.

Overall Red Wine of the Year. “With 100 points, you can only go down," Eben Sadie laughed as we tasted this wine. The 2020 is just a whisper short of the perfection of the 2019 release, but it's still a stunning red and has beaten all comers in this year's report. A seamless blend that combines five soil types and 11 vineyards, it's Syrah-based with 60% Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre, Tinta Barocca, Carignan, Cinsault and Alicante Bouschet. What grace, texture, focus and persistence. This has fibre, sinew and muscularity, nuanced 10% new oak and plum, blackberry, damson and wild strawberry fruit. Sublime winemaking. 2024-40”

Our Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir has been specially made for us by Jim Clendenen, the highly regarded winemaker of Au Bon Climat, with whom we have been working for 20 years. The 2019 vintage is ripe, with rich aromas of red cherries, damsons and wild berries. The palate has a generous and silky texture, its tannins supple and beautifully integrated. Subtle notes of spice and wild herbs provide complexity and intrigue. Drink now until 2025.nins.

Historically almost all Scotch bore a distinctive smoky note, as peat was the most readily available fuel: today, however, it is much less common. Our Classic Peated Cask is a tribute to the traditional, peated dram -with expressive bursts of soot and smoke complemented by the spirit’s fruitiness.

Appearance: Light.

Bouquet: Well balanced, with Peat aromas giving the edge. Fruity undertones deliver a rich complexity.

Palate: A fruity sweetness introduces the soft peaty character. Well balanced to perfection.

Finish: Mid-long, deliciously Peated.

The Hebridean island of Islay is renowned for the distinctive peaty style and smoky flavours of its whiskies. Our Classic Islay Malt is carefully selected blend of casks from some of the island's iconic distilleries, creating a balanced, complex and distinguished smoky dram.

Appearance: Light

Bouquet: Beautifully integrated, the tar aromas and orchard fruit compliment each other. The characteristic Islay peat note has the upper hand.

Palate: Full, approachable, creamy texture with some sweetness, and the quick reminder of its smoky heritage.

Finish: Long lingering peat smoke.

The ingredients here are some of Meursault’s best village vineyards. Chaumes de Narvaux is elegant and mineral, Clous adds finesse, Limouzin is nestled among the Premiers Crus, giving depth and richness, while Criots and Crotots add textbook buttery notes. Jean-Philippe works his magic and makes one of the best examples at this level, showing creamy and crystallised fruits. Drink 2022-2030.

This is deliciously moreish, with sweet strawberry fruit and cranberry bite for lift. The final blend will also include some wine aged in large foudre, which adds a heartier, richer texture and rounds out the wine. Simple but not one-dimensional. Drink 2019-2023.

It is fair to say that Ben is very happy with 2017, describing it as the kind of vintage he would sign up for every year. The whites, he says, are beautiful, and not far from 2014 in style, with purity, finesse, great definition and balance. He describes the reds as pretty, appealing and with body to support ageing, while highlighting the importance of lower-yielding old vines for serious ageing. He eloquently explains that there is no “black sheep” in 2017, that no village has underperformed. For reason of space, the limited volumes of Grands Crus have not been included in this brochure.

Guiberteau’s 2019 Saumur Blanc is from clay-limestone soils from lower on the hill in Brézé (older vines) and Clos des Carmes and Clos Guichaux (younger vines), all planted between the 1940s and 2012. Aged on fine lees in stainless steel tank until the spring and only lightly filtered, the 2019 exhibits a bright lemon-yellow color and a clear, pure, fresh and aromatic, intense and elegant bouquet with chalky limestone notes. Round, pure and mineral on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, utterly mineral and tightly structured Chenin with ripe pear flavors on the crisp and salty finish. This wine is full of energy, tension and finesse, and it's one of the finest you can get in this price range. - The Wine Advocate

The NV Palo Cortado Obispo Gascon, produced from Palomino grapes averaging 20 years old, and shows the telltale nose of Palo Cortado with its lactic touch and an off-dry nose of apricots, blond tobacco and spices. The palate is dominated by the salty notes (common to all Barbadillo wines), sharp, medium-bodied, with great length.

The Pedro Ximenez originates from barrels that Don Rafael Terán Carrera left Don Antonio Barbadillo Abrossy at the end of the 19th Century which formed the basis of a solera created in 1921 at the Bodega del Toro in Sanlucar de Barrameda. It is immensely rich and concentrated with incredibly complex layers of sweet dried figs, Medjool dates, baking spices and aged noble woods. The palate is thick and silky, coating the mouth like an oil slick and culminating in a long, intense and bittersweet finish.
