5 YO Rich Reserva, Blandys, Madeira

Blended

The Blandy's 5 year old Rich Reserva is a Decanter Magazine Gold Medal winning Madeira from one of the islands finest producers.  Made with a 50/50 blend of Malmsey and Bual this is a sweet, rich and silky smooth fortified wine with excellent balanced acidity keeping the wine fresh and lively.  This is a Madeira for immediate enjoyment and shows the typical dried fruits, toffee and spice one would expect.  Delicious on its own as an after dinner drink, or with rich chocolate puddings and cheese.

2012/16 Sauternes, Chateau Lamourette

Semillon/Sauvignon

The Sauternes from Chateau Lamourette are beautifully balanced with dried fruits, honeycomb and quince alongside perfectly poised acidity which freshens the wine.  Already showing nicely with a bit of time in bottle, this will continue to evolve for years to come.

2008 Colheita Tawny, Niepoort, Douro Valley

Douro Blend

A brick-red appearance with some light orange tinges leads into a fine slightly smokey aroma with hints of dried fruits. The palate is refreshing, with wonderful acidity and hints of dried apricots and crystallised fruit, leading to a lengthy mellow spirit driven finish.

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle

Chenin Blanc

The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.
