Domaine Ponsot Clos des Monts Luisants Vieilles Vignes 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Blanc 750 mL
Ripe yellow fruit, pear and green apple open with lemon rind, almond and a quiet honeyed note. The palate is broad and creamy, yet fresh acidity and salinity keep the texture composed. Toast, chestnut and warm spice add depth around a core of citrus and orchard fruit. Full-bodied but controlled, it finishes long and savoury, with mineral tension carrying the richness.
Dom Pérignon 2015 Takashi Murakami Limited Edition Champagne 750 mL
Toasted notes and cocoa lead into lime blossom, jasmine and peony, with anise, cardamom and a fresh botanical edge. Orange peel and green papaya bring brightness before the palate broadens around peach, nectarine and citrus. The texture is generous but controlled, carried by fine acidity and a persistent mineral line. Gentian and spice remain through the remarkably long, precise finish.
Maison Dampt 2015 Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaillons 750 mL
Citrus peel and orchard fruit sit against a firm line of stone minerality, with almond and a gently pithy edge showing the wine's maturity.

Serve lightly chilled with roast fish, scallops, poultry or a mushroom dish in a light cream sauce.
Ashes & Diamonds 2015 Grand Vin No. 2 A&D Vineyard Oak Knoll Red Blend 750 mL

Château Malescot St-Exupéry 2015 Margaux 750 mL
Steeped plum, fig and blackberry open with lilac, oyster-shell minerality and finely integrated oak.

The finish is long and harmonious, lingering on black fruit, violet, warm spice and mineral detail.
Pio Cesare 2015 Barolo Mosconi Nebbiolo 750 mL
Wild berry and bright red fruit lead, joined by red liquorice, balsamic herbs and a measured earthy note.

Crushed stone brings mineral definition, while the savoury detail remains clean and composed. The finish is persistent and balanced, returning to red fruit, herbs and liquorice.
Château Haut-Sarpe 2015 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 750 mL
Spicy red fruit and ripe red plum sit at the centre, with liquorice adding a darker, savoury thread.

The finish stays clean and composed, carrying plum, spice and liquorice with restrained persistence.
Castello di Ama 2015 L’Apparita Merlot 750 mL

Fine, porcelain-like tannins add grip, while star anise, cinnamon and a quiet meaty note deepen the savoury side. The finish is long, mineral and persistent, with cherry and balsam returning.
Achaval Ferrer 2015 Finca Altamira Malbec 750 mL
Blood orange and bittersweet cherry open with ripe strawberry, red berries and a faint thread of star anise.

Fattoria La Fiorita 2015 Brunello di Montalcino 750 mL
Mid ruby in colour, with floral lift, dark fruit and a touch of black pepper. Generous cherry jam and red currant fill the palate, held in shape by youthful, firm tannins.
