Rosemary's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Always a favorite winery and wine. Even after 16.5 years, this bottle offered a beautiful compliment to sushi. The color and clarity held, as did the fruit, which softened and provided an enjoyable, velvety mouthfeel. A mid-week treat! — 3 months ago

Grande Cuveé 168ÈME Édition Brut Champagne Blend

This is aging very well. 6 more bottles of the 168 in the cellar and very much looking forward to how they will evolve. Right now the 168 is in a great place and the 2nd maturation flavors are beginning to appear. Floral, acidic, Krug, caramel - it’s all there. Early to drink, but much more to come — 3 months ago

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Old Sancerre, such a rarity, preserves that precision focused acidity and notes of dried lemon, dried pineapple and dried peach. Finish is refreshing. Wow. — 3 months ago

La Grande Année Brut Chardonnay - Pinot Noir Rosé Blend 2004

Here we are again. It’s a 2004 rose and this is just amazing. Why oh why did I just buy a case of this and not more? Shame on me. This is a spectacular champagne that keeps over-delivering — 3 months ago

La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 2005

Quite pale lemon yellow colour . Still quite constant fine perlage . Some candied peel , light meaty notes , touch of nutty , yeasty richness . On the palate this is quite intense and fresh still , quite full bodied , with some citrus peel , roasted nuts . This is drinking perfectly now , quite rich but enough freshness to balance . Good length, balanced acidity , with a lightly toasty finish . At Noizé , London , 14th Jan, 2026 — 3 months ago

Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021

2021 vintage.
Sangiovese 60 % and Cabernet Sauvignon 40 % from Pitigliano estate in Maremma, Tuscany with a southwest exposure.
Owned by Tommasi family since 1997.
Rompicolla is ‘breakneck’ but means tremendously steep and slippery slope…a risky adventure.
Soils are deep in volcanic tuff.
Stainless steel ferment and matured 1 year in 65 HL Slavonian oak casks.
Red cherries, raspberries, savoury spice, and floral.
Medium bodied but fresh and clean on the finish.
This wine loves food ….and I appreciate that.
