Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 1999

Medium lemon , light copper hue . Some light but persistent bubbles still. This is quite serious and rich on the nose , with some orange rind , walnut , touch of mushroom and meaty , soy hints . Quite rich , intense and dense on the palate but with good freshness still , long with orange rind and walnut. Perfect now and over the next 5 years or so . At Noble Rot , London , 15th Jan 2026 — a month ago

Extra Cuvée de Resérve Brut Champagne Blend 2015

It’s that time again- the NY wine spectator event.
Always a great event except this year that did not have several of the first growths and they upped the price!! Bad combo!!

Brut Blanc De Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 1975

1975 Paul Roger -
A little oxidation, little to no bubbles - concentrated. Almonds, citrus and raisin tones. 50 year old Champagne!

Serrat

Shiraz Viognier 2015

Made by Tom Carson (chief winemaker at Yabby Lake) as his side project. 2013 and 2014 (the latter being Halliday’s wine of the year) of this wine were awarded Australia wide Trophies and Tom says this 2015 is just as good. Sweet red fruits (mulberry) with heaps of spice - Barb said peppery notes. A fabulous wine with impeccable balance- a perfect match with the free range chicken dish that Barb created. 98 points from James Halliday. Tom Carson for the last few years has been Chief Judge of the Royal Queensland Wine Show. His expertise shows in his winemaking. — 4 months ago

Carson Ridge

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Medium ruby in color; black cherries, plums, and cedar on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins, but smooth; tastes like blackberries, cherries, and a hint of bell pepper witha long finish. Not as complex as I would like, but pretty good. — 3 years ago
