Gaja Costa Russi 2003, Piemonte

Optimum 2009 - 2018

Until 1995 Costa Russi carried the Barbaresco D.O.C.G. appellation. The Gaja single-vineyard philosophy remains the same as it has always been: to express the extraordinary quality potential of each vineyard site in order to produce wines of distinctive personality and unique, inimitable character.

Cotes du Rhone CLAVIN Domaine Vieille Julienne 2007

2011 - 2018

One of the truly great names of Cotes du Rhone, the Clavin vineyard situated around the house was the first to be planted on the estate and so has the oldest vines. With an average age of 70 years, it is suspected that some are a generation older. "Quite simply the finest Cotes du Rhone I've ever tasted" Ed Wells.

Domaine JP Grossot Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin 2007

2010 - 2016

Sourced exclusively from 1.5ha within the 1er Cru vineyard ‘Vaucoupin’, situated 220m a.s.l with a southerly exposure on the hills outside the town of Chablis. Clean as a whistle on the nose, showing predominantly mineral aromas of flint and citrus fruit. A traditionally tight palate allows the nervy, limey acidity to shine through the green apples and stones on the palate. Lengthy, clean, and elegant.

Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2006, Pauillac

Best 2013 - 2022

The wine produced at "GPL" is classified as one of eighteen Cinquièmes Crus (Fifth Growths) in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste certainly out performs its position as a 5th growth. Like Pontet Canet and Lynch Bages it is capable of genuine greatness.

Domaine Les Beates Terra D'Or Magnum 2005 (Chapoutier) Aix En Provence

The 2005 cuvee is a blend of hand-picked old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache. After a long fermentation the wine is aged in oak barriques and larger barrels for 2 years. This is a famously conentrated wine that will age for 15 to 20 years. In its youth it should be decanted before serving.

Trinity Hill Facon Traditionelle Sauvignon 2009, Hawkes Bay

2010 - 2012 +

Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2009, Hawkes Bay

2010 - 2011

As great as it's ever been the flavours and aromas of passionfruit and nectarine gently compliment the delicate aroma of gooseberries in the 2009. A mineral character lends a distinctly Graves-like character to the wine. The addition of Semillon has added to the texture and flavour. The fresh acid is balanced by a tiny amount of retained sweetness.

Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Trinity 2006, Hawkes Bay

Drink 2010 - 2013

Each grape variety was harvested and vinified separately.  The blackberry and black pepper nuances of Syrah, the leather and plum aromas of Merlot and the lifted red currant character of Cabernet Franc have combined to produce a complex, fruit dominated wine. The oak aging has added a further dimension to the wine without being obvious. Its richness with firm, ripe tannins make this wine extremely serious yet eminently drinkable.

Trinity Hill Homage Syrah 2007, Hawkes Bay

Drink 2010 - 2020

Gerard Jaboulet, from that famed Rhone estate, provided some of the vine cuttings and much of the inspiration for a wine that is dedicated to his memory. Strongly spicy Syrah with dense, sweet fruit forming a solid core. The wine offers an impressive array of flavours. In addition to the black pepper and star anise there is violets, toast, coffee, blackcurrants and plum. Big but supple with impressive potential. A relatively high proportion of Viognier (9%) adds to the wine’s elegance and lifted aromatics. 19.5/20 5 Stars, Decanter Magazine.

Gaja Conteisa 2005, Piemonte

Optimum 2011 - 2020 +

A 15 acre part of the Cerequio vineyard in the commune of La Morra bought by Gaja in 1995. Conteisa is the Piedmontese word for quarrel, and is a reference to the dispute between the communes of La Morra and Barolo over possession of the Cerequio land. 8% of Barbera is added to the Nebbiolo, and the wine is characterized by its sumptuous texture, sweetness of fruit and perfectly integrated tannins.
