Chapoutier Vin De Paille 2005 (375ML)

96-98 RP / 95 WS Of course, Michel Chapoutier produces some very limited spectacular dessert wines. The 2005 Ermitage Vin de Paille has a dark amber color, much more noticeable acidity than the 2004, but tastes as unctuous,...

Climens 2006 (375ML)

96 WA / 94 WS / 18 JR Tasted at Chateau Climens. A slightly lighter colour than the 2007. The nose has a tightly-coiled bouquet of tinned apricot and orange-blossom, with a hint of tangerine in the background. The palate...

D'Yquem 2007 (375ML)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

96 WS / 16.5 JR Delivers a beautiful display of purity and grace, with creamed Jonagold apple, star fruit, white peach and chamomile notes flowing seamlessly, backed by wet stone and fresh verbena accents. Subtle but...

Molitor Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese*** WK 2015 (375ML)

96 JS / 95 VM The most amazing of the 2015 dry rieslings from Markus Molitor, but not only because it has the most amazing exotic fruit, but also because of its stunning spiciness and a devastating mineral quality at the...

Suduiraut 2005 (375ML)

97 JS / 94 WA / 17.5 JR What a wine for the vintage, with spices and furniture wax undertones, then dried citrus fruit. Great intensity in this, powerful stuff. Perhaps the best 2005. - James Suckling Tasted single blind...
