Deutz 1998 Cuvee William Brut

Deutz 1998 Cuvee William Brut - Champagne & Sparkling

Vintage by Deutz from Champagne, France - regions. Powerful nose, rich and complex, that shows aromas reminiscent of baked apples, together with light and pleasant hints of preserved ginger and nutmeg, amongst others. The entry is crisp and the wine then develops considerable finesse, also revealing delicate flavors of sultanas that evoke the charms of a sunny place. With its deliciously rich and savory finish, the Cuvee William Deutz 1998 gives one the impression of a wine that has opened up fairly rapidly, showing a full range of secondary aromas that are usually found in Champagnes that have been aged for a longer period.

reach"A top wine in the Deutz range, packed with maturing richness, balancing fresh grapefruits against toasted almonds, an elegant structure, and an impressive power of flavor, leaving a dense mouthful of wine that manages to float at the same time."
"The 1998 Cuvee William Deutz flows from the glass with compelling layers of flowers, apricots, succulent pears, minerals and smoke. This Champagne offers a gorgeous combination of mineral-driven freshness with a richly-textured core of fruit.

Robert Sinskey Three Amigos Pinot Noir 2007

Robert Sinskey Three Amigos Pinot Noir 2007
Pinot Noir from Carneros, California

Bright, saturated ruby color gives way to a thin clear rim by the edge of the glass. Bright red fruit and forest floor aromas presage deep flavors of cherries and winter spices nestled in a luxe texture. Well-developed, fine tannins and bright acidity provide the sort of balance and structure that will allow many years, if not decades, of enjoyment. It only hints of its potential now,
baring just the first bit of skin in a very slow striptease.

Donnafugata 2005 Mille e una Notte

Donnafugata 2005 Mille e una Notte - Nero d'Avola Red Wine
Red Wine by Donnafugata from Sicily, Italy. An enthralling bouqet calls attention to mature and sweet but not cooked scents and balsamic and floral notes of violets with a light trace of tobacco.

critical acclaim:
"The estate’s top red is the 2005 Contessa Entellina Mille e Una Notte, a Nero d’Avola based blend bursting with dark blueberries, violets, smoke, earthiness and minerals. The wine reveals notable depth and richness in a full-bodied style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015. This is a very strong showing from Donnafugata and the Rallo family. The wines this year show notable balance and class."

Cascina Bongiovanni 2004 Barolo Pernanno

Cascina Bongiovanni 2004 Barolo Pernanno - Nebbiolo Red Wine

Red Wine by Cascina Bongiovanni from Piedmont, Italy. From select Nebbiolo fruit of one particular plot within the estate's finest vineyard. The grapes are left on the vines for several extra days after the regular Barolo is harvested, for even greater concentration. A gorgeously structured, velvety cru with the succulent fragrance of berries, fume, leather, cassis and mint.

critical acclaim:
"Great fruit on the nose, with blackberry, dark chocolate and fresh plum. Full and velvety-textured, with lots of fruit and ripe tannins. Long and beautiful. Very balanced. Impressive for the vintage. Best after 2012. 375 cases made"
