Light salmon pink colour. Red cherry, mixed flowers and quince aromatics. Powerful in the mouth, red cherry, cured meat and red spices all fill across the palate. The intensity and complexity is serious here with acidity working well to keep it lifted, with a fine mousse and a brush of tannin completing the framework. Great length: it lingers long with a real vinous character that speaks of pinot noir. Will be a phenomenal match to more powerful dishes. (disgorged 09/24)

Light, bright yellow/straw in the glass, with aromas of herbs, celeriac and green apple, smoky/toasty tertiary characters in the background, and everything in lovely balance—no one thing dominating. The mousse is creamy on the palate with fluffy texture and a lovely dry, appetising finish which is soft, balanced and dry. Great length and tension. A seriously smart sparkling wine, ageing slowly and gracefully.

Deep, rich golden/amber colour revealing considerable age. The bouquet is a shock of richness and matured complexities, among them dried fruits, barley-sugar, buttered toast, salty seaspray and a waft of flor yeast character. In the mouth it's rich and full bodied, with amazing depth of flavour delivered with power and impact. The finish is dry and reverberates around the mouth for minutes. An extraordinary wine. Serve with mature Comté cheese.

Pale lemon yellow hue. White peach, green apple and subtle roasted cashew aromas. While the nose is subtle, the palate shows remarkable intensity and power. Apple and peach fruits, subtle saline minerality, hints of roasted nuts and nougat are bound by powerful framing acidity. Incredibly long and driving to the end. Truly world class chardonnay

Deep copper colour with a tinge of orange—at the darker end of rosé colours. The bouquet is complex and shows some mellowness from age, as well as a nuttiness that suggests barrel work. The palate is savoury and again multi-layered with toasty, nutty, charcuterie/smoked meats characteristics, and the palate is deep and flavoursome, beautifully balanced with a seamless flow to it, and a clean, dry-but-soft finish that invites several more sips. A lovely drink that transcends the usual expectations of rosé style.

Pale and crystalline rose-gold colour. Red toffee apple and cinnamon sugar aromas. Medium weighted, with distinctly pinot noir characters of cherry and undergrowth on the palate. Fine acidity and a supple brush of silky tannins carry it long. Will work wonderfully with food, particularly charcuterie and lighter game meats

Very deep, saturated purple colour introduces a very big and powerful DM. Amazing intensity and lots of stuffing. Chocolate, vanilla, black fruits galore. A huge and astonishing wine that has enormous potential. (A big cabernet sauvignon year—94%)

Good depth of lightly purple-rimmed colour; the bouquet is a riot of dried herb scents from thyme to sage and oregano with smoky black pepper, vegetable stock, red and darker fruits including raspberry, dark plum and blackberry. The wine is full-bodied and flows evenly across the tongue, with an effortless intensity and suppleness of texture. Fine tannins are an important part of the very long, high-impact aftertaste. A superb wine of intricate detail and elegance.

Deep-golden colour in the glass. Lifted aromas of honey, crème brûlée, apricot, mango, vanilla and sweet spice. Luscious, mouth-filling and opulent on entry. Flavours of stone-fruit, stewed apples, toffee and lemon curd drive the palate. The acidity has real cut and shape and ensures the finish is long, bright and defined. Delicious

Medium amber hue. Deep aromas of dried rose petals, burnished walnut and burnt fig. Unctuous and weighty with a lift of varnish to counter that richness. Sawdust, burnt toffee and fig nots all roil across the palate in that oily texture. Lingering incredibly long and yet, when the finish comes there’s a lift of vitality, allowing a nutty rancio element to linger in the memory

Deep tawny core into a rich amber rim that coats the glass. Wood varnish, dried fig and candied walnut aromas. Rich, powerful and detailed on the palate. Wonderfully weighted with dried fig, raisins, burnt toffee and walnut depth all harmonised perfectly along the line. Acidity offers direction and silken tannins ensure the finish—when it finally arrives—has finesse that draws you back for more

Full and deep ruby with purple tints at the rim. Raspberry and blackberry bramble, nutmeg, white pepper and candied peel aromatics. Palate is deep and powerful, black and red fruits layered with a exotic mix of ground spices. Sweetness is the connecting piece of the puzzle, and it carries wonderful length with a zip of acid and fine tannins working into play at the long finish. Has a lovely vinous character to it
