Penfolds Yattarna 2018, Australia
£149.00 Buy Pale gold. Elegant style wine with high pitched nectarine, melon aromas with flinty complexity. Intense pure lime grapefruit nectarine flavours, fine looseknit al-dente/ chalky textures, lovely mid-palate richness, underlying savoury oak complexity and fresh persistent crunchy acidity. Expressive and pure fruited with superb vinosity and mineral length. Needs time to uncoil and further develop. An austere yet voluminous Chardonnay where less is more. A highly individual and expressive wine that needs a few years to develop more complexity and richness. Judging by the recent Penfolds Rewards of Patience tastings, the wine promises a lot more with further bottle age -
Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2016, Australia
£595.00 Buy This vintage is more immediately drinkable on release than historical vintages. It’s good to open now while there is plenty of deep diving to be done palate wise with its house styled VA note (in subtle amounts) and American oak influence playing its typical role in the overall character of the wine. Energy, depth and balance are key to its success, the palate appears bottomless with dried fig, anise, dark soy and classic chariness, yet there’s fleshy relief, neatly measured tannin feels that allow its dark fruit notes to rise again in the finish. -
Penfolds Magill Estate 2017, Australia
£139.00 Buy Deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is disarmingly attractive with blueberry, blackberry and raspberry nuances, background vanilla and chocolate, the palate soft and supple, rounded and silky-smooth, with fruit sweetness and fine-grained tannins in perfect balance. A stunning wine, elegantly-framed and deliciously drinkable now, although it will undoubtedly age well. Full-bodied but far from being a blockbuster. Hard to resist now. -
Penfolds RWT Bin 798 2018, Barossa Valley Australia
£132.00 Buy Medium deep colour. Intense dark cherry blackberry aromas with roasted chestnut dark chocolate notes. Well concentrated but elemental wine with deep set blackberry elderberry fruits, fine chocolaty tannins, new roasted chestnut vanilla oak notes and plentiful firm tannins. Finishes long and minerally. A lovely wine with Grange-like density, power and tension and the balance for a great cellaring career. Needs at least five years to fold into each other. -
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2017, Australia
£95.00 Buy Medium deep colour. Lovely fragrant claret style wine with exuberant fresh red cherry redcurrant, mulberry cassis aromas and roasted walnut complexity. Well concentrated and generous with inky cassis mulberry fruits, smooth velvety tannins, attractive viscosity and richness on the mid-palate and fine integrated acidity. Finishes powdery firm with superb mineral length. A hugely evocative wine; true to the original blueprint, spirit of style and the classic Penfolds multi-regional template. Delicious to drink now but should age beautifully. -

Chateau Clerc Milon 2006, Grand Cru Classe Pauillac
£140.00 Buy A great and understated vintage in Bordeaux. 2006 was an incredibly dry and warm vintage. Clerc Milon 2006 is incredibly precise and complex, showing notes on the nose of almond paste, chocolate, bark, mushroom, leather, vanilla and blackberry. The palate is refined and elegant, with delicate tannins, supportive acidity and exceptional length. -
Chateau Clerc Milon 2005, Grand Cru Classe Pauillac
£135.00 Buy An exceptional vintage for Pauillac. Intense claret hues from the glass. Notes of bramble, leather, coffee bean, liquorice and pencil lead are dominant. The tannins are fine and well integrated throughout the wine. Expect notes of mushroom, game and a hint of spice to bring up the rear on the finish. Drinking fabulously now but will definitely reward further cellaring. -
Chateau L’Evangile 2005, A.C. Pomerol
£350.00 Buy An intense nose that seems to offers a different character on every visit; black cherry, kirsch soaked vanilla, truffle and cedar. There’s a richness to the palate that is pinned perfectly by refined tannins leading to an evolved and magnificent finish. This is big, juicy and balanced claret that 2005 is so famous for. -
Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2014, A.C. Pauillac
£350.00 Buy An insight into Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Deep purple in colour. Incredibly complex for a second vin, the full and varied nose reveals ripe red fruit aromas with succulent cocoa and vanilla, rounded off by slightly toasted, smoky notes combined with youthful oak. Dense and silky on the palate, with exceptional concentration and a unforgiving finish. -
Chateau L’Evangile 2010, A.C. Pomerol
£375.00 Buy Inky black in colour once poured into the glass. Morello cherries, vanilla, raspberry, blueberry and mocha lead the aromatic notes. The rich concentration of the juice on the palate is typical from the vintage but Lafite have managed to keep it under control despite the high ABV. This just lasts forever on the palate, one of the Chateau's finest vintages on record.
