Special Origin
Remoissenet 1969 Chevalier L’Arquebuse
$599.99A beautifully mature Burgundian expression showing evolved aromatics of dried citrus peel, baked apple, hazelnut, and honeyed wax layered with truffle, spice, and delicate oxidative complexity. The palate is silky and fully integrated, with softened acidity carrying a mellow core of preserved orchard fruit, toasted nuts, and savoury umami depth. Long and contemplative on the finish, unfolding with layers of nutty, earthy nuance and refined tertiary character that speak to its age and quiet complexity. Drink sooner than later.
La Fleur-Petrus 1997
$599.99La Fleur-Pétrus Pomerol 1997 exemplifies the charm and sophistication of mature Bordeaux. Its seamless integration of fruit, earth, and tertiary characteristics makes it a delight to savour, offering a glimpse into the complexity and depth of one of Bordeaux’s esteemed appellations. While it has reached a stage of maturity, it retains enough vitality to captivate the senses and is a testament to the timeless allure of the region.
Ducru Beaucaillou 2015 Saint-Julien
$599.99“The 2015 Ducru-Beaucaillou has a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon at 95%, with just 5% Merlot in the blend. Deep garnet colored, it prances out of the glass with flamboyant notes of rose oil, sandalwood, and star anise, leading to a core of kirsch, warm cassis, and redcurrant jelly, plus a waft of cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is coated with opulent exotic spices and red and black berry preserves layers, framed by velvety tannins and lovely tension, finishing long and seductive. 98 points.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, November 2022
Cos D’Estournel 1986
$659.99Château Cos d’Estournel is famed for a bold yet exotic St-Estèphe style. It delivers the appellation’s dense, powerful structure alongside a unique elegance and spice-laden aroma profile. Expect layers of dark fruit (blackberry, plum) infused with Indian/Asian spices, vanilla and cedar, reflecting Cos’s oriental flair. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with subtle tannins and fresh acidity harmonizing the richness.
This “pagoda-adorned” château’s red exudes balance and purity – a harmony of silky tannins, vibrant black fruits, and a powerful terroir imprint that leaves a long, suave finish. It’s an opulent yet refined Saint-Estèphe, often described as seductive and exotic in character.
