Double Crown

9.0

This Phipps brewery Double Crown beer was specially brewed for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee based on a similar recipe for the 1952 Coronation.

Belgian biscuit malt with Ernest and Barbe Rouge hops gives a balanced beer that is slightly hoopy with good malt backnotes. — 2 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1999

Bob McDonald

9.6

Mid to bright gold in colour. A note of paraffin Notes of Orange marmalade, toast, apricot, mangoes and almonds. Intensity off the charts. How can you get this much flavour into a wine. A fitting finish to a marvellous dinner. Hats off to the Downs Club - Mark Kennedy the chef, and Peter Barbe the Sommelier. May there be many more such dinners, also Ramon the importer who spoke about each wine with great knowledge. — 4 years ago

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Rare Vintage Rosé Champagne

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Philippe Clicquot founded his label in 1772 with an ambition to spread his wine. He conquered Europe and then Russia in 1780, followed by the United States in 1782. His son François, joined him as head of the house in 1798, who had recently married Barbe Ponsardin & 7 years later, following the untimely death of François Clicquot, his young widow ("veuve" in French), just 27 years old, took over the family business. Crisp flavors of strawberry & cherry, vivid acidity on lingering expressive finish. Nice! — 7 years ago

She’s consistent, classic, delicious, and iconic. Whether in a pink hue or semi-sweet expression, she leaves a celebratory impression on the palate. She was a pioneer. Strong. A visionary.
