Glaetzer 2017 Amon-Ra Shiraz
Australian Red
Black plum and dark fruit fill the glass, lifted by fragrant spice. This old-vine Barossa Shiraz is generous and full-bodied, with supple tannins keeping the rich fruit in balance. Dried spice runs through the palate. Sourced from Ebenezer in the northern Barossa Valley, Amon-Ra has plenty of depth without losing its restraint.
Domini Veneti 2017 La Casetta Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore
Italian Red
Ripe hedgerow fruit meets a smoky, earthy edge in this Corvina-led Ripasso. Nutty, savoury flavours give it the depth to sit comfortably beside rich food, with defined tannins holding the fruit in place. From Valpolicella in Veneto, the 2017 La Casetta is a fine partner for braised beef, game or well-aged cheese.
Fontodi 2017 Flaccianello della Pieve
Italian Red
Dark cherry and plum lead, followed by violet, liquorice and a touch of clove. This all-Sangiovese Tuscan red fills the palate without losing its shape, with fine tannins supporting the generous fruit. Cranberry and blueberry carry into the lingering finish. The 2017 is a broad, richly textured expression of Flaccianello della Pieve.
Domaine de Cristia 2005 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes
French Red
Ripe cherry and blackberry fruit give this old-vine Grenache a rich, generous centre. Roasted notes and liquorice add a savoury edge, while the palate is concentrated and full-bodied, with layer upon layer of dark fruit. There is plenty of power here, but the texture stays rounded and the finish carries the fruit and spice with persistence.
Château Pontet-Canet 1995 Pauillac Magnum
French Red
Cassis and black cherry mingle with truffle, coffee and dried herbs. Medium in weight, the palate has a firm grip rather than heavy richness, with dark fruit carried along a long, savoury finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc make up this Pauillac, presented here in a magnum for a larger gathering.
La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2016 Pessac-Léognan Blanc
French White
White flowers, lemon and a hint of spice introduce this expressive white Bordeaux. The palate opens smoothly, then grows richer and more generous as the fruit unfolds.

Château Duhart-Milon 2001 Pauillac
French Red
Ripe dark fruit meets a fine thread of spice in this Cabernet-led Pauillac. The palate has a clear, firm shape, with elegant tannins carrying the fruit through a long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot give it a recognizably Médoc profile, combining depth of flavour with the restrained structure of this fourth-growth estate.
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 2008 Saint-Julien
French Red
Blackcurrant and dark berry aromas open with flowers, leafy notes and a touch of spice. The fruit is concentrated yet fresh, carried by a firm Cabernet Sauvignon backbone.
