Odd Society Wallflower Gin
Resurrection Spirits Dry Gin
Rye grain gives the aroma a distinctive, gently spicy foundation, lifted by classic juniper, West Coast pine and pointed lemon. The palate is bold yet balanced, with juniper and pine bringing dry botanical structure while a soft rose note adds measured floral detail. Sweet lemon keeps the middle bright. The finish is clean and aromatic, leaving rye spice, evergreen freshness, rose and citrus with steady persistence.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin 750 mL
Over 180 years of distilling expertise results in the classic character of a classic gin, Tanqueray. On the nose, juniper is in the foreground, with citrus and coriander; dry and very balanced, with a hint of sweetness and a reserved, elegant delivery of flavours. Good enough to sip or blend into your favourite cocktail.
Coquard Le Coq Beaujolais
A bright, gently tannic Beaujolais with wild raspberry, red cherry and a touch of blackcurrant.

Vilacetinho 2021 Grande Escolha V Verde
A fresh Vinho Verde with citrus, peach and yellow plum, lifted by lemongrass and a clear mineral note.

Clean and versatile on the finish, it is particularly good with oysters, goat’s cheese, grilled fish or gently spiced Thai dishes.
Clos Lapeyre 2016 Vitatge Vielh Jurançon Sec
Ripe green fruit and citrus lead a concentrated, full-flavoured white, lightly touched with honey.

A powerful, expressive style for roast fish, creamy poultry dishes or firm mountain cheeses.
Lapeyre 2019 Jurancon Sec
An aromatic dry white built around Gros Manseng, with dried apricot, peach, vanilla and a gentle floral note.

Rabasse Charavin 2016 Cairanne
A mature southern Rhône red with black cherry, dried plum and blackberry, layered with garrigue herbs, leather and peppery spice.

Harmonious and settled through the finish, it is well suited to roast lamb, braised dishes or mushrooms.
Rabasse Charavin 2020 Cotes Du Rhone
A ripe Southern Rhône red with blackberry, black cherry and plum, framed by garrigue, pepper and licorice.

La Liquiere 2019 Nos Racines Faugeres
A concentrated old-vine Carignan with blackberry and blackcurrant at the centre.

Château Mouton Rothschild 2009 Pauillac
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.
Grosbois Gabare 2020 Chinon
A generous Chinon with ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit, a dusting of cocoa and a subtle leafy note.

Serve it lightly cool with pâté, charcuterie, grilled pork or lentil dishes, where its bright fruit and savoury edge can work together.
Grosbois Clos La Henry 2020 Bourgueil
A smooth Loire Cabernet Franc with raspberry, graphite, green pepper and violet. The palate is refreshing and supple, with the red fruit and floral notes carried by a clean, understated structure.

Smith Woodhouse Vintage Port 1980
Ruby with a mature brick rim, showing red and dark berries, anise, dried cherry and a quiet earthy spice.

Graceful and ready to drink, it suits Stilton, aged cheddar or toasted almonds.
Graham’s Vintage Port 1985
Deep at the core with a fine tawny rim, offering ripe plum, dark berries, fig and baking spice over a subtle nutty undertone.

Persistent and composed on the finish, it pairs naturally with Stilton or walnut tart.
Fonseca 1985 Vintage Port
Blackberry, blackcurrant and raisin lead an inky, concentrated bouquet, with dark chocolate and a gentle savoury note adding depth. Full-bodied and round, the palate carries abundant fruit over thick, well-integrated tannins. A firm backbone keeps the sweetness composed, while the finish is long and velvety. Decant carefully and serve with Stilton or dark chocolate.
Fonseca Vintage Port 1970
Mature and beautifully poised, with dried plum, caramel and orange peel layered with exotic spice, cocoa and warm red fruit.
