Vintage Port

Reviews:
100 Points – Wine Spectator
"In a word, superb. It's full-bodied, moderately sweet and incredibly tannic, but there's amazing finesse and refinement to the texture, not to mention fabulous, concentrated aromas of raspberries, violets and other flowers. Perhaps the greatest Taylor ever, it's better than either the '92 or the '70, though it's very like the '70 in structure."

This classically made, opaque purple-coloured wine is crammed with black fruits (blueberries and cassis). It reveals high tannin and a reserved style, but it is enormously constituted with massive body, a formidable mid-palate, and exceptional length. …

Don PX
Montilla-Moriles Sweet Wine
75cl Bottle

Pedro Ximénez (often abbreviated as PX) is a sweet, fortified wine primarily produced in Spain, especially in the regions of Jerez (Sherry) and Montilla-Moriles. It is made from the Pedro Ximénez grape, which is sun-dried to concentrate its sugars before fermentation. The result is a wine that is intensely sweet, rich, and dark, with a syrupy texture.

Often described as "dessert in a glass," PX wines are bursting with flavors of raisins, molasses, dried figs, caramel, chocolate, and nuts like toasted almonds or hazelnuts. The wine’s sweetness is balanced by its complex and layered profile, making it a luxurious treat for the palate. …

Up to 2009, Giovanni's son Alessandro looked after the beautiful vineyards situated in the long hills surrounding Piemonte.

Ryst Dupeyron Reserve Joseph Millesime vintage Armagnac
50cl bottle

A 1992 Ryst-Dupeyron Armagnac is not just a bottle of brandy; it's a meaningful and luxurious gift that will be remembered and cherished.

Tasting Notes
These vintages are bottled at the alcohol level in which they naturally come out of the cask. There is a wonderful contrast between the sweet and sour flavours of wood, amplified by the strong alcoholic degree. Rich palate feeling the alcohol and the concentration of dry plums, spicy with persistent flavour of rancio and of spices, but round, soft and long in the finish.

Malvasia

A rich, velvety smooth Malvazia with sweet caramel, chocolate orange and malted chocolate notes. Well judged balancing acidity teases out the finish and keeps the sweetness in check.
* Review by Sarah Ahmed- www.thewinedetective.co.uk *

Try this luscious sweet and full-bodied Madeira with stewed meat dishes with sweet and spicy elements. It pars marvellously with intense and rich dark chocolate as well as nutty and caramel desserts. Why not serve at the very end of the meal with a blue cheese such as stilton or Roquefort. Finally, a Malvasia is also delicious with cigars.

Porta dos Cavaleiros, Dao

Caves S. Joao, established in 1920, became a dominant force in Portuguese wine making in the early 20th century with their houses Porta dos Cavaleiros in Dao and Frei Joao in Bairrada. Given the shifting trends in consumer preferences, Bairrada and Dao fell to obscurity in the 1990s when critical influence drove the demand for bigger, extracted, warmer climate wines. As in all things, however, what comes around goes around! Sure enough, 20 years later savvy consumers and food-conscious sommeliers are looking for finesse and freshness and heading back to Bairrada and Dao. Wines that when young had a vegetal character, …

Vintage Champagne Matta Label in presentation box

As the years went by, Matta’s work, influenced for a long time by the violence and oppression that sadly marked this era, became subdued and more poetic.

These are some of the characteristics found on the design he created in his homage to Champagne. Matta leads the design with poppies, a well-known symbol of war remembrance and painted them on an ochre background. These flowers represent a need for nostalgia, yet a spirit of continuation all the same. Calligraphic marks, reminiscent of the famous ‘automatic writing’ of the surrealists, run across the design.

The bottle contains a Brut Millésimé 1992, made from a combination of Chardonnay (50 %) and Pinot Noir (50 %). …

Vintage Port

*** 100 Points - Robert Parker ***
***19/20 Jancis Robinson***



"Taylor's 1992 Vintage Port is unquestionably the greatest young port I have ever tasted. It represents the essence of what vintage port can achieve. The color is an opaque black/purple, and the nose offers up fabulously intense aromas of minerals, cassis, blackberries, licorice, and spices, as well as extraordinary purity and penetration. Yet this is still an unformed and infantile wine. If Chateau Latour made a late-harvest Cabernet Sauvignon, I suspect it might smell like this. In the mouth, the wine is out of this world, displaying layer upon layer of concentrated black fruits backed by well-integrated tannin and structure. …

Ryst Dupeyron Reserve Joseph Millesime vintage Armagnac
50cl bottle

The grapes used for the 1991 Ryst Dupeyron Armagnac were harvested in that year. This makes it a great choice for anyone with a special connection to 1991, such as a birth year or anniversary.

Tasting Notes
This Armagnac would have been aged for a considerable amount of time in oak barrels, likely around 30 years, allowing it to develop a rich and complex flavour profile. Armagnacs from Ryst-Dupeyron are known for their depth and complexity. Expect notes of dried fruits, vanilla, spices, oak, and perhaps hints of caramel or toffee. The extended aging period typically results in a smooth, well-rounded spirit with a long finish. …

La Spinona - Beruffi Pietro

This 1991 Barbaresco has developed elegant complexity and the refined character of a mature Nebbiolo. The bouquet features dried cherry, rose petal, tar, truffle, and subtle hints of leather, cedar, and earthy spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with softened, fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of dried red fruit, forest floor, and gentle spice lead to a long, savoury, and harmonious finish.

Serving Suggestions:
For optimal enjoyment, stand the bottle upright for 24–48 hours before serving to allow any sediment to settle. Carefully decant the wine to separate it from the sediment. …

Renzo Odicino

1991 Barbaresco – Renzo Odicino (Piedmont, Italy)

A quietly beautiful, fully mature Barbaresco that favours perfume and finesse over power. Brick-garnet with a tawny rim, it lifts with dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, with a hint of orange peel and tea leaf. The palate is elegant and savoury: red-cherry fruit carried by lively acidity; tannins are fine and resolved, giving silk rather than grip. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, dried flowers and gentle spice.

From carefully selected, well-stored bottles, this shows the ethereal side of Nebbiolo—more incense and dried flowers than muscle—making it a superb bottle for refined, slow meals and conversation. …
