Refined and structured, with black cherry, plum and cassis supported by earth, truffle, graphite, dark chocolate and gentle spice.

Ekho 2023 Aegean Islands Rose
Soft pink and quietly aromatic, led by floral notes rather than overt fruit.

Bunan 2023 Moulin Des Costes Rose
A pale Provence rosé with wild strawberry, peach and fragrant Mediterranean herbs.

Elegant and refreshing, it pairs naturally with shellfish, grilled fish, salads or vegetable dishes dressed with olive oil and herbs.
Ducru-Beaucaillou 1990 Saint-Julien

M. Chapoutier 2005 Banyuls Vin Doux Naturel
Dried fig, raisin and blackberry lead a generous fortified profile, joined by raspberry, cherry, mint, black pepper and a light truffle note.

Silky and refined through the finish, it suits fruit desserts or firm cheese, while a slight chill brings extra definition.
Domaine Philippe Delesvaux 2004 Clos du Pavillon Coteaux du Layon Saint-Aubin
Fresh white pear leads into apricot, persimmon, fig and dried tangerine, with honey, candied apple and a light butterscotch note adding depth. The palate is fully sweet and generously textured, yet lacy acidity and a fine mineral spine keep it precise. Almond and honeysuckle emerge across the long, composed finish.
Seppelt NV DP 33 Muscat
Deep brown with an olive-green rim, opening on raisin, toffee and honey with a measured hint of marmalade.

Buller NV Fine Old Muscat
Reddish amber and richly perfumed, with raisins, dried fig and dark chocolate leading into caramel, brown sugar, dates and molasses.

A long, warming finish makes this an excellent after-dinner pour, either alone or beside chocolate brownies and cream.

Soldera 1998 Brunello di Montalcino
