Wine


White Wine

Motzenbacker Dem Himmel So Nah 2008
Graceful Riesling full of life. Aroma of flowers (lillies, roses) and fruits, such as apricots, vineyard-peach and red apple. Well-constituted with a smart, noble suave mouth-feeling.

Pouilly Fuisse Cuvee Armand Cottin 2008
Pretty pale yellow colour. The bouquet starts with mineral notes then develops into smoky, toasted notes prior to revealing aromas of orange blossom. The mouth is straightforward and lively with elegant woody complexity with a lemon finish.

Red Wine

Chateau Haut-Sarpe Grand Cru Classe St Emilion 2004
Full bouquet where matured tannins are mixed with a rich woody note. Nice length in the mouth.

Chateau Dauzac Margaux Grand Cru Classe 2003
A huge and very evocative nose, packed with red and black berries, with a little note of cherry too which is a common theme with this vintage. Deeply rounded, ripe fruit profile. With such initial superficial pleasure the palate seems quite vacuous thereafter, with a huge wall of peppery tannins and insufficient texture to match. (Available after Chateau Haut-Sarpe Grand Cru Classe St Emilion 2004 has been depleted.)

Nuits-Saint-Georges 2003
It has a deep, bright red colour. Very fresh, its fruit is very delicate with plum, raspberry and strawberry in fresh jam and fallen leaves (typical), even tobacco. Its body is fat, big and spitrited (sic) with good background.

Champagne

Dom Perignon
Each vintage offers a new aspect of Dom Perignon, reflecting an assemblage that isa unique act of creation for the winemaker Richard Geoffroy. Dom Perignon constantly insists on choosing only the best harvests and thereafter, on a long, slow ageing of the wine on its lees. In its constant quest for the ultimate balance between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Dom Perignon style traces, vintage after vintage, a complex structure made up of aroma and sensations, silky smooth, light as air and full of sensuality.

Dom Perignon Vintage 2000

Fresh, crystalline, and sharp, the first nose unveils and unusual dimension, an aquatic vegetal world with secret touches of white pepper and gardenia. The wine then revcals airy, gentle richness before exhaling peaty scents. The attack bursts forth, and matures into a sensual fullness that winds around itself, like a tendril of foliage. Notes of aniseed and dried ginger linger on the skin of fruit (pear and mango), more textured than ripe. The finish gradually unfurls and then settles, smooth, mellow, all-encompassing. An indefinable je ne sais quoi, never upsetting the integrity of the wine, has worked its charm.

Bollinger 1999
Bolliner is a champagne house, a producer of sparking (sic) wines from the Champagne region of France. Founded in 1829, the house continues to be run by member of the Bollinger family. Before being a great champagne, Bollinger is a great wine, and the quality of our grapes is a determining factor. Pinot Noir is the basis of our blend and contributes vinosity, complexity and strength. Bollinger favours Grands and Premiers crus. Chardonnay adds a touch of elegance and refinement. Meunier imparts freshness and lightness. La Grande Annee develops a majestic vinosity, intense, rich and complex aromas whose tonality varies according to the nature of the millesime. La Grande Annee ages a minimum of five years (and often more than six in the cellar under cork, prior to shipping.) Bollinger Grand Annee 1999 has more perfume, with aromas of flower petals, rose water, and a trace of toffe-caramel richness. A lovely palate, surprisingly light and elegant in view of that evolving maturity on the nose. Still a little plump at present, yourthful (sic), although with a soft and clean character at the finish.

Cognac

1795 Extra Cognac Otard
1785 Extra Cognac was born in the royal Chateau de Cognac. Stand proudly on the banks of the Charente river. It was here, in 1494, that Francois 1er, famous king of France, was born. In 1795, Baron Jean Baptiste Antoine Otard, of Norwegian and Scottish ancestry, chose to craft his cognac in this royal chateau, in the depths of its unique, vaulted cellars. Otard Cognac symbolises all the richness of their cognacs in the tear-drop shape of their carafes, the distinctive and unique hallmark of the brand for decards. Otard 1795 Extra Cognac offers a rich, complex bouquet of dried fruit (plum, grape and hazelnut), orange peel and cigar box. This profusion of aromas further explodes on the palate providing incomparable pleasure thanks to the mellowness of the old Champagne eaux-de-vie. Its gold and ruby colour is the sure sign of its long years of maturing.
