St Julien, 2nd Growth Classification, Bordeaux
Magnum Bottle

Léoville Las Cases is the most legendary wine of Saint-Julien: on a quality par with the Médoc's first growths, without the hefty price premium to match. It is a prime example of a Bordeaux 'super-second' - a second growth operating at a first growth level. Léoville Las Cases is also one of the largest, oldest and most picturesque of the Médoc's classified Bordeaux growths. Grapes are fermented at lower than average temperatures, which is partially responsible for the wines displaying some of the most exotic aromas and aromatic richness in the Médoc.

Château Léoville Las Cases, situated in the esteemed Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France, stands as a beacon of excellence and tradition in the world of fine wine. …

Pauillac 5me Cru Classe, Bordeaux

*** 88 Points - Neil Martin Wine Journal ***

Reviews:
"This has a superb nose, very lifted and well-defined, cedar, blackcurrant, smoke and a touch of burnt toast. Just soars from the glass. The palate is full-bodied, ripe tannins, beautiful balance and poise with a sense of controlled opulence towards the finish. It comes across very natural, black cherries, blueberry, a touch of orange zest. This is certainly an over-performing wine for the vintage and shows better than previous bottles, although it did fade a little when returning after 15 minutes in the glass. Drink now-2015. Tasted September 2009. …

Single Harvest Tawny Port
450cl Rheoboam

Graham 1997 Single Harvest Tawny Port

Deep brown-orange center. With an intense copper-toned halo. Aromas of quince jam with hints of vanilla and subtle caramel, as well as notes of honey and raisins. The aging in wood is reflected in delicate almond and marzipan notes. In the background, a slightly noticeable appealing smoky element.
Intense red fruit flavors, complemented by cask aging but full of freshness and vitality, combined with an underlying citrus acidity, give the wine balance and elegance.
A long and pleasant finish, with a subtle combination of nuts, tea, and tobacco.

Justino's - Malvasia

"There won’t be a lot of this wine on the palate so it is a rare privilege to have tasted it. Amber in colour the wine is woody to the nose as it should be, it is on the palate that this wine reveals itself, extraordinary levels of layered flavour, nuts and candied orange, sweet but with an utterly bracing acidity that keeps the wine from being at all cloying. A rare wine and a world class wine, a true delight and a wine to share amongst the best of friends." Tasting Notes

Justino's - Tinta Negra

This wine is a blend of several grape varieties grown in the island, predominately Tinta Negra, harvested in 1997.

"A dark amber colour with a lucid and consistent yellow edge. More than a Marsala, the impact of the aroma is like a great Vincotto from the Marche region, although it is much finer. The bouquet has less caramel and is less volatile with more notes of prune, dried fruit and coffee. The mouthfeel is sweet and caramel-like with notes of black tea and coffee, while the finish is invigorated by a distinct acidity." Silver Award -San Francisco International Wine Competition

"The 1997 is an elegant Port, though having some good depth. Its tannins were melted and some secondary flavours were already starting to show, the fruit was chaging from ripe plums to candied figs. It is reaching its 2nd plateau of maturity.
Passadouro is an early drinker but this 1997 is one of the good port wines they made in the 90's.

This 1996 Burmester Vintage Port from the fabulous 1996 Port Vintage has outstanding provenance! This bottle has been stored at the Burmester cellars in Porto since bottling, until it was acquired by us earlier this year.

The 1996 Burmester is a beautiful mature garnet colour. On the nose it has cocoa, chocolate together with a hint of mint. On the palate this is quite complex - medium bodied with a perfect balance between the acidity, tannins and flavours, there is a little spiciness in the mouth that adds to the experience. Long, long finish. This is in a good place and should hold well for the next decade or so. …
