Champagne Krug Vintage Brut (in gift box) 2006

Krug 2006 is a story of indulgence, roundess and elegance, nicknamed 'capricious indulgence' by the house. Krug 2006 is generous, intense in aromas on the palate, without any excess, with an ending leaving a sensation of greatness and distinction.

"When we create a blend for a new Krug Vintage, we want to tell the story of the year – of what surprised and enchanted us. In 2006, all three Champagne grapes showed beautiful indulgence and maturity across our selected plots." A very expressive and indulgent nose reveals yellow and dried fruit, toasted almonds, hazelnut, maple syrup, meringue and mandarin liqueur. On the palate it is generous, deep, ample and fresh with aromatic persistence and a long finish. It has notes of nougat, frangipane, pastry, tarte tatin, plenty of citrus with a beautiful finish on pink grapefruit skin.

Champagne Brigitte Delmotte NV

Four Golds for this superb artisan Champagne that held its own in competition against big names Bollinger, Veuve and the like. Pure Pinot Noir, vinified white and aged three years on lees, it is rich and creamy with toasty ripe fruit and complexity.

Over 170 years of experience have assisted in the making of this creamy, berry rich Champagne. It's the work of 5th generation winemaker Julian Fourrier, whose father, Philippe, created this special cuvée in honour of his wife, Brigitte. Her maiden name was Delmotte. The grapes are 100% Pinot Noir taken from vineyards first planted by Philippe and Brigitte – that's romance for you. All the family's 18 hectares of vines lie within Champagne's little known, southerly region, La Côte des Bars. The wine for this fine fizz was gently fermented and aged three years on its lees (twice as long as legally required) to enhance the rich toasty notes of the fizz. Chill down and serve at your next celebration. Or don't wait for an excuse and enjoy!

Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz 2017

+10

Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters as it ages.

Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters as it ages. It is matured in old, 1,460 litre vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. “Flirting with the purity & allure of Shiraz. Yes, guilty as charged – surreptitiously seduced” (Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker).
"The cool and late vintage kissed the wine on both cheeks, making the classic maturation in 50yo vats doubly welcome. A glimpse of the future is the inaugural use of fruit from Port Lincoln joining the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Eden Valley in the blend. This has none of the hardness that sometimes gives an edge to St Henri, purity stepping in to its sculpted palate. Includes 3% cabernet sauvignon... 96pts" (Halliday)

Punch Lance's Vineyard Close Planted Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2016

More precise fruit, more spice and complexity, more lift. Fresher, brighter, with a fine tannin flow through the core of the wine, leaving a satin-like texture, and superior length...95pts (Halliday Wine Companion)

Pinot connoisseurs, you will adore this exceptional Yarra Valley star. "From a single block of 0.25ha planted at 8320 vines per/ha. So many similar attributes to the standard Pinot, but different, better in every way. More precise fruit, more spice and complexity, more lift. Fresher, brighter, with a fine tannin flow through the core of the wine, leaving a satin-like texture, and superior length. That it saw 67% new oak, a testament to the concentration of the fruit...95pts" (David Bicknell, Halliday Wine Companion). Great with duck, but also a winner with a simple cheese plate.
