Roasted fig, blackberry, cassis and kirsch form a deep, generous core, joined by graphite, pepper, tobacco and a touch of tar.

Gabbiano 2009 Alleanza Toscana IGT
Italian Red
$74.99
Rich ruby with purple reflections, offering fresh red currant and a light touch of sweet chocolate. The palate is smooth and evenly fruited, with currant returning at the centre. The balance is measured rather than heavy, carrying clean red-fruit flavour and subtle cocoa through fine tannins to a long finish.
Tommasi 2009 De Buris Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOC Riserva
Italian Red
$419.99
Bright, deep ruby with a taut, finely drawn nose of sour and sweet black cherry, evolving toward spice and cocoa bean.

Poised and harmonious, it closes with remarkable persistence and a long, polished finish.
Poças 2009 Late Bottled Vintage Port
Portuguese Fortified

Château Côte Montpezat 2009 Cuvée Compostelle
French Red

A mature Castillon red with blackcurrant, plum, cedar and earthy spice. Bottle age has softened the structure while preserving a savoury Bordeaux finish.
Château de Sales 2009 Pomerol
French Red
$187.99
Chocolate and cracked pepper lead the nose, followed by ripe red fruit and a discreet oak note. The palate opens with fresh energy, then settles into a structured, medium-bodied frame of fine tannins. Red cherry, coffee and dark chocolate add mature complexity, carrying the wine into a powerful, persistent and quietly seductive finish.
Château Godeau 2009 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
French Red
$189.99
Roasted black cherry, ripe plum and black raspberry lead, layered with liquorice, chocolate, sweet earth and light cedar. The palate is full and fleshy, with dark fruit carried by polished, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Savoury depth keeps the richness composed through a long, elegant and persistent finish.
Louis Roederer 2009 Brut Nature Philippe Starck Champagne
French Sparkling
$174.99
Yellow with light amber glints and exceptionally fine bubbles, opening on honeysuckle, broom, peach and roasted hazelnut. Citrus, spice and chestnut cream add depth to the ample, creamy palate. Saline freshness keeps the texture light and airy, while zesty bitterness, pepper and delicate oak linger through the poised finish.
Château Mouton Rothschild 2009 Pauillac
French Red
$1,999.99
Opulent and seductive, with black currant, black cherry and plum surrounded by violet, cigar box, tobacco, liquorice, smoke and bitter chocolate. The palate is rich and satiny, its dark fruit controlled by fine-grained tannins, savoury mineral freshness and a long, pure finish. Still youthful, it benefits from three to four hours in a decanter before serving with veal or lamb.
