Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Caillerets’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a captivating bouquet with yellow plum, lemon thyme, jasmine and crushed rock. Very well-defined, it articulates its terroir with real aplomb. The palate is taut and focused, lightly spiced on the entry and almost peppery compared to the other Premier Crus from Morey, fanning out wonderfully with real brio […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was reductive on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, but that will be addressed by bottling time. There appears to be very good intensity here, and with time, there is an unexpected touch of Shiso leaf. The palate is well-balanced and poised, gently building towards an intense […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 2022
$215.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet has pleasing mineralité on the nose, almost making it worthy of a Premier Cru. It is very finely focused, with touches of hazelnut emerging with time. The palate is very well-balanced, with fine tension and poise. Not amazingly complex, yet it delivers in terms of purity and precision. Drink this over the next […]

Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$105.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers bright orchard fruit, particularly orange blossom, on the nose that will be difficult to resist in its youth. The palate is rounded with a smooth texture, lightly spiced with a dab of lemongrass perking up the finish. Delightful regional white Burgundy.” 87 points – Neal Martin, Vinous.com Click here for […]

Tyrrell’s Blanc de Blancs 2016
$65.00The wine world, like any other, is faddish and if you were to think of sparkling wine, any sparkling wine, the Hunter valley would be pretty far down the list, if not at all. But Tyrrell’s can always be relied upon to make at the very least, ‘good’ wine and some the greatest of all. […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz 2023
$85.00Don’t be misled by cliches about the size and style of the Jasper Hill wines. Big though they are, they are fresh and balanced, with lovely natural acidity and waves of fruit and tannin. “Controlled full on”. Ferrous and autumnal notes reside with dark cherry, chocolate, lavender, potpourri, leather, polished wood and a compote of […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Huldufolk Pinot Noir 2023
$130.00Perhaps the most idiosyncratic wine in the Sailor Seeks Horse stable, emanating from a single clone, 115, and aged in wood for longer and a higher percentage new, 40 . The most reticent, the oak gripping for now, but patience required, patience given. Time in the glass reveals reductive notes of flint, smoke and tar, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2023
$90.00The two Dijon clones of 114 and 777, so favoured by Gilli and Paul. Clones are mumbo jumbo to me, but there’s no mistaking the unique nature of this wine. Savoury comes to mind, and a certain discretion; it certainly doesn’t jump out of the glass the way the estate wine does. Brooding and gentle […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2022
$150.00“Mid purple, the nose offers a leaner raspberry style, and then a little more flesh behind, a darker fruit before the white pepper kicks in, with a little fresh but not vegetal bitterness to finish.” Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy 87-90 Points

Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
$220.00On this second look, this Fonseca is still remarkably expressive, lifted and gloriously fresh, even with that slight closing. It has reasonable mid-palate concentration but even better intensity of flavor. Despite that intensity of flavor, it is not quite as sexy as it is in some years, at least not yet, as the tannins are […]
