  2020 Brunello di Montalcino, Sesti

  £8900

  Crafted in the historic heart of Tuscany, the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino from Sesti is a powerful yet refined expression of place, tradition, and visionary winemaking. The Sesti estate lies within the ancient walls of Castello di Argiano, a 13th-century fortress perched above the Orcia River, once part of a strategic chain of sight-and-defense castles. This remarkable setting mirrors the timeless character of the wines it produces.

  Founded by Giugi Sesti, a Venetian-born astronomer and opera impresario, the estate has long embraced a philosophy rooted in natural rhythm and artistic expression. Today, under the expert guidance of his daughter Elisa Sesti, the winery continues to produce wines of exceptional purity and poise, firmly placing Sesti among the most respected names in Montalcino.

  The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is captivating from the first pour – rich, full-bodied, and exquisitely balanced. The nose reveals layers of blackberry, wild herbs, and spice, wrapped in a savoury, earthy complexity that speaks of its noble terroir. On the palate, it is structured and powerful, yet retains an elegant flow, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity driving a long, resonant finish.

  A Brunello of remarkable depth and beauty, this vintage is already jaw-droppingly delicious, but promises even greater rewards with time.

  2015 Martelo Reserva Rioja, Torre de Oña, MAGNUM

  £8900

  The 2015 Finca Martelo Reserva is a juicy wine, thrilling the mouth with plentiful red and black fruit. A wise and careful ageing process in wood is appreciated in its seductive and well-balanced character and fresh sensations. It makes no attempt to hide the power of its modern profile but the character of a traditional wine and other more evolved touches are never far away. A top-quality Reserva wine produced by a winery steeped in expertise creating classic Rioja wines.

  Head winemaker Julio Saenz refers to it as “our little Burgundy” because of how closely it represents this unique location. In fact, the wine itself is a field blend, 95% Tempranillo with 5% other varieties including Mazuelo, Garnacha, and even Viura. The chalk soils and 80-year-old vines at Torre de Oña produce a fuller, riper style of Rioja, while the high altitude and Atlantic influence in Rioja Alavesa keeps the wine fresh and elegant. This style is complemented by the use of 20% French oak and shorter maturation, alongside La Rioja Alta’s ultra-traditional methods such as racking by hand.

  Founded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards.

  The 2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in balance and varietal purity.

The palate is finely tuned and seamless, with polished tannins and a supple texture that carries layers of dark fruit, cassis bud, and a whisper of savoury herbs. Oak is impeccably integrated, supporting the wine’s structure without overwhelming its elegance. The finish is long, fragrant, and composed, a hallmark of both the vintage and the estate’s restrained, classical approach. This is a Cabernet of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, offering a refined expression of Inglenook’s historic vineyards.

  2004 Gregor Shiraz, Hobbs

  £9500

  2014 Chardonnay ‘Durell Vineyard’, TOR

  £9500

  Ed Durell planted the first vines in the rock-strewn, windy hills in 1979. Today, Durell Vineyard spans three AVAs: Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. The block TOR sources from lies in the famed Sand Hill section of the vineyard, which overlooks the Sonoma Valley. This 2014 Durell Chardonnay ranks among the best they have ever produced. “This has the classic seamless, almost oily palate weight and texture to it that the best Durells have but with a thread of focus that helps to pull the intensity of the palate together. This shows mandarin oranges, stone fruits and an almost cut wet grass note to it.

  Kaiyo The Kuri 46%

  £9750

  Kaiyō Whisky is a distinctive Japanese whisky house known for its rare use of Mizunara oak and its pioneering sea-maturation technique. Under the guidance of Master Blender Jeffrey Karlovitch, a Keeper of the Quaich and one of the whisky world’s most refined palates, Kaiyō crafts small batches of whisky aged in handmade Mizunara casks, some of the most precious and difficult-to-work-with barrels in the world. Once matured on land, the casks embark on a voyage at sea, where the dynamic conditions of movement, temperature fluctuations, and air pressure variations coax even greater complexity from the oak. The result is a whisky unlike any other, rich, layered, and deeply expressive of both wood and wave.

  Kaiyō “The Kuri” is one of the most innovative expressions in the Kaiyō Wood Library Series, finished in Japanese chestnut (kuri) wood casks, a bold, creative twist that adds richness, spice, and creamy sweetness to the distillery’s already elegant house style. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it’s a beautifully textured whisky that showcases Kaiyō’s dedication to craftsmanship and experimentation.

  In the glass, it glows golden amber and opens with an inviting bouquet of toffee, roasted chestnut, cinnamon bark, and orange marmalade, backed by gentle hints of vanilla bean, coconut, and sandalwood from the Mizunara oak. The palate is rounded and luxurious, with layers of hazelnut, dried apricot, maple sugar, and warm baking spice, unfolding over a supple, medium-bodied structure. The chestnut cask influence adds a creamy, nutty richness that plays perfectly against Mizunara’s floral lift and exotic spice. The finish is long and balanced, leaving a trail of caramelised nuts, honeyed malt, and a touch of oak-char minerality.

  The Kaiyō Cask Strength Mizunara Oak bottling, presented at 53% ABV, is a powerful, undiluted expression that showcases the raw character and complexity of Mizunara-aged Japanese whisky in its purest form.

  In the glass, it reveals a deep amber hue and a heady, inviting nose of burnt orange peel, sandalwood, coconut, and incense, with supporting notes of toasted almond, honeycomb, and subtle baking spice. On the palate, it is intensely flavorful yet surprisingly smooth, delivering bold waves of dried apricot, dark toffee, vanilla pod, and lavender, all wrapped in a creamy, almost waxy texture. The elevated alcohol enhances the whisky’s structure without overwhelming its finesse. The finish is long, warming, and endlessly complex, with Mizunara’s signature touch of exotic spice and floral lift.

  This is a whisky for connoisseurs and collectors, offering a powerful yet nuanced drinking experience. Whether enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to unlock its hidden depths, the Kaiyō Cask Strength is a remarkable expression of Japanese artistry, Mizunara mastery, and the spirit of the sea.
