Trotte Vieille 2005 St Emilion
$359.99Château Trotte Vieille is a historic St-Émilion known for a more classically styled, Cabernet Franc-leaning wine. Its profile emphasizes freshness, mineral nuance, and structure. The bouquet often has a distinctive limestone-derived minerality and a touch of “oceanic” freshness alongside aromas of crushed red berries, cherry, and subtle florals. You might also detect herbal and earthy notes – cedar, tea leaf, a hint of menthol – reflecting its old-vine Cab Franc component.
On the palate, Trotte Vieille is medium-bodied and firmly framed. It has bright, savory red fruit flavors (tart cherry, redcurrant) that are lively but not overly dense, supported by dry, fine-grained tannins that give it a serious backbone. The style here is more “old-school” Saint-Émilion: not overly sweet or plush, but rather elegant, with a certain austerity in youth. The finish highlights that tension between fruit and earth – you’ll note the fresh acidity, a touch of bitter cherry skin, graphite, and a gentle toastiness.
With some age, the wine gains softness and the tannins relax, revealing more round fruit and a lovely perfume of violet and forest floor. In essence, Château Trotte Vieille is fresh, mineral, and aristocratic – a wine of subtle complexity and classic balance, showcasing Saint-Émilion’s limestone terroir through its lifted aromatics and refined, persistent finish.
El Tequileno Reposado Rare
$354.99A richly aged reposado with aromas of warm baked agave, vanilla bean, honey, and subtle toasted oak, complemented by hints of caramel and soft spice. On the palate it’s smooth and layered, showing notes of cooked agave, butterscotch, dried fruit, and gentle baking spices, all framed by a creamy oak influence. The finish is long and mellow, with lingering sweetness, light spice, and a refined, oak‑kissed character, perfect for sipping.
Taylor Fladgate 10/20/30/40 Tawny
$354.99A presentation box containing one half bottle each of 10, 20, 30 & 40 Year Old Tawny. This unique collection demonstrates the evolution of tawny Port as it ages in wood, starting with the round and jammy 10 Year and culminating in the sumptuous 40 Year with its wonderful mellow complexity and concentration.
Chateau Haut Bailly Grand Cru Classe 2019
$349.99Château Haut-Bailly Grand Cru Classé is a refined Pessac-Léognan red with the estate’s characteristic balance of perfume, graphite and poise. Cabernet-led notes of cassis, black cherry, plum, violet, tobacco, cedar and crushed stone develop into a sleek, savoury palate.
Medium to full-bodied, it is defined by fine tannins, fresh acidity and a persistent mineral finish. Elegant rather than overtly showy, it rewards decanting and pairs well with roast beef, lamb or duck.
