Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

We were married in 1990 and this is our 25th, therefore the 1990 vintage of Opus One which was the first wine we shared on our first date in the late 80's.
This bottle is a real surprise, fresh fruit, relaxed tannins and the realization of the promise made by Baron Phillipe and Robert so many years ago.

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Aristotelis Protopapas
9.6

An average vintage but the Lafite keeps its promise to deliver a top first cru quality.. To be drunk now. Although a light balanced style with the fruit and savory notes equal. More of a grand cru burgundy burgundy finesse. We sell at £1500 — 12 years ago

Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012

Tonight I am going with another Pinot Noir. I feel I am getting into a Pinot rut so this I promise will be it for a little while, but what can I say, I love me some Pinot. Well the nose comes on with good notes of black cherry, cranberry, allspice, clove, earthiness and floral notes of lilac. On the palate the black cherry comes through with notes of pomegranate, good tannins with green vegital notes, oak which all blends together very well in a full mouth feel. — 12 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2012

Together with 2010, this infant shows great promise for the future, thanks to its sincere structure and polished fruit flavors. Usually, not my favourite producer but here they hit the jackpot. — 11 years ago
