Single Malt

On the nose oak is the dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat. The palate is initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, followed by vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits. To finish, it is velvety and smooth with lemon meringue as well as an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.

1998 Chateau Musar, Bekaa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 1998 Musar Red is an elegant and fragrant Cinsault dominated vintage, mainly due to the cooler conditions. It shows wonderfully developed gamey aromas, is well structured and  has a vein of finely poised acidity running through it.  Medium bodied with great length.  The vintage was, by Lebanese standards, cold, with rainy weather that lasted until June (resulting in late flowering), leading to a summer that was sunny and dry.

£41.95

1999 Privado Anada Valsardo, Bodegas Valsardo

Tempranillo

The 1999 Privado Anada is a great value, fully mature Tempranillo from Valladolid. The wine still has plenty of fruit along with leather, spice and balsamic notes and decent degree of freshness too.  Please note that the corks on some of these bottles can be very delicate so it is best to use a Butler's Thief style opener.

£14.95

1999 Sercial, D’Oliveiras, Madeira

Sercial

The aged Madeiras from this fine property are an utter delight and always offer a degree of complexity and elegance that puts them firmly in fine wine territory.  Bottled after 19 years in cask, this is complex and nutty with a fresh, zingy vein of acidity running through it, sharpening the richness of the fruit on the amazingly long finish.

£140.00

2000 Malvasia D’Oliveiras, Madeira

Malvasia

2000 Malvasia D'Oliveiras has an intensely rich nose and a full rich mouthful of raisins and caramel, a powerful long finish and finely balanced acidity belying its relative youth.

£125.00

2000 Tokaji Aszu Essencia ‘Imperium’, Chateau Dereszla

We are delighted to be one of the very few UK merchants to get our hands on this sensational Tokaji Aszu Essencia 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.

£150.00

2007 Orovela Cuvee Chandrebi, Georgia

White Blend

This fully mature skin contact (Orange wine) from Georgia is a bit of a bargain if you like this style of wine.  Plenty of stone fruit flavours, a good dollop of funkiness and some savoury, fatty texture on the finish.  Pop a glass with virtually anything from Ottolenghi and you'll be a happy hipster!

£14.95

2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, Chateau Ksara

Cabernet Sauvignon

This single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was Lebanon's first single varietal red of the modern era.  This classic Cabernet is aged in oak for a year, and displays the classic hallmark of the grape. Red and dark fruits and a quite vibrant palate showing beautifully balanced fruit and cedar spice.

Bordeaux Blend

The 2011 vintage had a hard act to follow coming after two exceptional years in Bordeaux and whilst the wines aren't as showy as the '09's and '10's they are charming and drinking beautifully with a decade in bottle. 

£64.00

2011 Chateau Grandis, Cru Bourgeois Haut Medoc
