  2000 Tokaji Aszu Eszencia ‘Imperium’, Chateau Dereszla, 375ml

  £12000

  Château Dereszla is world-renowned for its sweet wines made from grapes affected by Botrytis cinerea, also known as “noble rot”. The wine is made from hand-picked grapes from Chateau Dereszla’s finest plots and made into a paste, which is then added to a base wine for fermentation for 14 days.  The wine is then aged in French oak for more than 2 years prior to bottling.  The elegant label replicates a design created by Carl Faberge for Dereszla’s centenary in 1907.

  This is a sensational Tokaji Aszu Eszencia from Dereszla.  Only produced in the very finest years, (made twice by Dereszla in the last 22 years), and now a defunct classification, this is a very rare slice of history in a bottle.  Incredibly sweet yet with perfectly poised acidity, the wine has a complex apricot and Seville orange marmalade fruit character mingled with spice and gingerbread notes. With an impressive 252 grams per litre of sugar, it is no wonder the wine is syrupy and very rich, but the constant freshness provided by the acidity keeps the wine balanced and makes it a wonderful match to dark chocolate desserts, good quality cheeseboards and rich pates.

  2013 ‘Dreams’ Chardonnay, Vinnaioli Jermann – Magnum

  £12500

  Silvio Jermann is one of Italy’s finest winemakers.   All his wines are extraordinary, multi-layered and complex, expressing the essence of each varietal character to its purest and fullest degree. In terms of their philosophy, Silvio says “I want the wines to be genuine. I want them to be balanced and elegant but above all, they should move us, prompt our emotions and have a sense of authenticity”.

  The 2013 Dreams Chardonnay is a delicious wine and is up there with Italy’s best white wines.  It handles its oak treatment with ease, blending pure white orchard fruits, flowery perfumes and stone dust with hints of vanilla bean and brioche. The textures are silky and seamless, contrasted by stimulating minerality with a green citrus twang that adds further depth.  Intense.

  Dedicated to U2′s “The Joshua Tree” album (1987) and specifically to the song “Where the streets have no name”. This wine was created with the 1987 harvest and over the years its name has undergone a number of variations. For its first nine years, it was called “Where the Dreams have no end…”

  2015 Valpolicella Superiore, Romano dal Forno

  £12500

  Legendary Romano Dal Forno has made wine at his family estate since 1983. His Amarone is the pinnacle of his production, but he uses the same care and attention to his Valpolicella, which is superior to many other producers’ Amarone. A traditional Corvina-based blend, fermented in steel before 24 months in oak barrique.

  It is an Amarone in all but name, made entirely from appassimento berries – grapes dried for 20-25 days. The 2015 vintage was exceptional for Valpolicella, as in much of Northern Italy, bringing incredible levels of concentration to the wine. The wine has a deep crimson, rim-staining colour. The nose is rich, full of high-toned aromatics, neroli floral scents, dried cherry, raisins and sweeter vanilla tones. The palate is impressively structured, the oak tannins melding with the rich red cherry fruit, bringing great depth to the palate. There is a great balance of flavours beyond the sweet, dried fruit, with savoury fresh tobacco and sweeter almond pastry notes. Despite the immense concentration, there is plenty of acidity keeping the palate vibrant. With such richness and structure, this will give a good 10-15 years’ drinking pleasure.

  2015 Lune d’Or, Clos des Lunes 3 Bottle Gift Box

  £12500

  A magnificent 3 bottle Gift Box

  Located in Sauternes, on one of the greatest white wine terroirs in France, the Clos des Lunes is a magnificent rolling vineyard planted with old sémillon and sauvignon blanc vines. On very old vines, some perfectly golden clusters are chosen and delicately sorted grain by grain, by expert hands.

  The wine is pale gold in the glass – which is rather apt considering the name!  The nose is very expressive with fragrances of tangerine, lemon and grapefruit with wafts of fresh hay and chamomile.  Together these aromas give a mouthwatering sensation.  This leads into the racy palate that is complex, textural – preserved lemons, stone fruits and a delicious passion fruit taste.   The finish is long luscious and minerally.

  ABK6 XO Family Cellar Single Estate Cognac + Gift Box

  £12500

  ABK6 Cognac is a modern, family-owned house with deep roots in the Grande Champagne region, the Premier Cru of Cognac. Founded by the Abécassis family, the estate is led by Elisabeth and Francis Abécassis, who are committed to a single-estate philosophy, cultivating, distilling, and ageing all their eaux-de-vie from their own vineyards. This complete control from vine to bottle allows ABK6 to craft Cognacs of exceptional purity, character, and finesse, blending traditional savoir-faire with a sleek, modern aesthetic that appeals to a new generation of spirits enthusiasts.

  The ABK6 XO Family Cellar is the pinnacle of the estate’s collection, an extra-old Cognac blended exclusively from eaux-de-vie aged for a minimum of 10 years in French oak, and sourced entirely from the family’s private cellar. It is a bold yet elegant expression that embodies the richness and finesse of Grande Champagne’s chalky soils, renowned for producing long-lived, aromatic eaux-de-vie.

  In the glass, this XO presents a deep amber hue with golden reflections, signalling maturity and complexity. The nose is opulent and inviting, offering layers of candied orange peel, dried fig, spiced plum, and toasted almond, lifted by notes of vanilla bean, leather, nutmeg, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it is silky and full-bodied, delivering a harmonious interplay of raisin, dark chocolate, baking spice, and honeyed oak, all wrapped in a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long, warm, and luxuriously smooth, with echoes of rancio, the signature of well-aged Cognac, and a final flourish of dried fruit and sweet spice.

  2020 Blanc Etc, Domaine Didier Dagueneau

  £12700

  Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre are the global benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc, and there is no bigger name or more highly regarded producer in the area than Domaine Didier Dagueneau. Now under the guidance of Didier’s talented son Louis-Benjamin, the wines still follow his ethos that authentic Pouilly Fumé requires healthy fruit from low yielding, old vines to produce the purest, and most intense and vibrantly fresh wine. That’s not to say these wines are typical of the appellation. Given the severely low yields and approach to élevage, Dagueneau wines emphasise a creamy texture rather than bracing acidity, and combine mineral flavours with exotic fruits to supreme effect.

  Previously labelled as Blanc Fumé de Pouilly, now reborn as Blanc Etc… and looking better than ever. Generally speaking this is the most approachable wine in the range, and since Louis-Benjamin came aboard the wine is now far closer in quality and class to the other releases. While each of the other wine focus on a single soil type or terroir, Blanc etc… blends some young vine parcels on their Saint-Andelain hill with two parcels planted on flinty clay and limestone white clay soils nearby. It was fermented in a mix of new and three-four year old barrels and then matured in both wood and tank.

  2019 Pinot Noir ‘MCM88’, Senses

  £12950

  A rich, concentrated Pinot Noir with aromas of black raspberries and pomegranate layered with hints of lavender, rose oil and wild sage. Black fruits and mineral notes lead to an earthy finish with a floral lift.

  The grapes for the MCM88 come from the famed vineyard formerly known as Keefer Ranch, which produces an exuberant single vineyard Pinot Noir, from the block originally farmed by Kosta Browne. The grapes come from a very special block, now known as Perry Ranch, which produces a bold style of Pinot Noir with great concentration and richness.

  2019 stands out as one of the more exceptional vintages in recent memory. Cooler temperatures and stable weather throughout the growing season allowed for slow maturation of flavours without any heat events spiking sugar accumulation in the berries. Although 2019 also saw the devastating Kincade fire in Sonoma County, the fruit was harvested by then, so the smoke did not affect the grapes.

  2019 VIK, Viña VIK

  £15500 Original price was: £15500.£13500Current price is: £13500. 13% saving

  VIK is a remarkable visionary Bordeaux style blend and can be considered as a Chilean ‘First’ Growth.

  Elegant, silky and complex, with captivating aromatic intensity and freshness. The ripe, expressive fruit flavours are layered with violet and spice through to lasting finish full of finesse.

  Created by Alex and Carrie VIK, the vineyard was born amidst the foothills of the Andes mountains, within the Millahue Valley, named “Lugar de Oro” or “Golden Place” by the native Mapuche people: 4,300 hectares of astonishing Chilean wilderness where they planted over 327 hectares of vines. Holism is the concept that best reflects the VIK spirit. It is the perfect union of humans and nature as an integrated whole. The holistic wines are the result of a magnificent, dynamic terroir and the best winegrowing and winemaking techniques and practices, coupled with superlative work to protect and enhance the environment, concern for human and social development, and a focus on art and architecture. Cristian Vallejo, Vik’s chief winemaker, is considered as a “terroir purist”, inventing its own concepts of barroir (barrels toasted with wood of roble trees that have fallen on their lands) and amphoir (amphoras made with clay from Millahue).

  Kaiyo The Unicorn 46%

  £13500

  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 Unicorn” is the pinnacle of this philosophy: a limited, ultra-premium expression bottled at 46% ABV, matured exclusively in rare first-fill Mizunara oak casks, and presented without chill filtration. It’s named for its mythical rarity and singular quality, representing the most elusive and expressive barrels in Kaiyō’s cellar.

  In the glass, it shimmers a rich golden amber, revealing an aromatic bouquet that is both captivating and refined. Expect layers of orange peel, sweet incense, coconut husk, and toasted almond, interwoven with subtle hints of lavender, tea leaf, sandalwood, exotic spices and signature notes of well-aged Mizunara oak. On the palate, it is silky and weightless, yet profoundly flavourful. Notes of honeyed malt, dried apricot, vanilla custard, and roasted chestnut are lifted by floral spice, soft smoke, and a lingering whisper of sea air.

  The finish is long, harmonious, and haunting, with a creamy, spice-laced fade that calls you back for another sip. Kaiyō The Unicorn is not just a whisky, it’s an experience. A benchmark of Japanese artistry and rarity, ideal for collectors, connoisseurs, and those seeking something truly one-of-a-kind.
