Château Rieussec Carmes de Rieussec Sauternes 375ml 2015
A great way to experience 2015!
The 2nd Wine of Château Rieussec, Carmes has to be the absolute bargain of all Sauternes at the Moment! I hoovered a bottle of this and was blown away. Vibrant, lovely layering of fruit, beautiful poise, excellent texture with great length. Fresh Apricot, spice, hints of patisserie creams. Luscious, delicious. The quality of the 2015 vintage sees it sitting at quality levels similar to the main wine in a standard year!Carmes de Rieussec’s name is a reference to the Carmelite monks in Lang

Château Doisy-Daëne Barsac 375ml 2015

Semillon | France, Barsac

Always one of my favourite sweet Bordeaux makers! I've always had a soft spot for Doisy-Daëne. The defining difference, beautiful balance.40% Sauvignon Blanc, 60% Semillon from 50+ year old vines."The 2015 Doisy-Daene has a detailed bouquet, very correct, nothing showy or flamboyant as is typical of Denis Dubourdieu's Barsac. The palate is extremely well balanced and very pure: citrus fruit infusing the honeyed botrytis, veins of white peach and quince, leading to a very precise and

Château Rieussec, 1er Cru 2015
Nectar of the Gods!

Château Rieussec, 1er Cru 2015

Semillon | Sauternes, France

Rieussec along with Climens, de Fargues, Doisy-Daëne & of course d'Yquem is one of my favourite sweet whites from Bordeaux. The complexity and sophistication of the wine, particularly after is has had 10+ years in bottle is stunning. Beautiful to drink young, divine to drink with a little age on it. I had a half of 1996 early this year. Stunning!

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2024

Semillon Gris | Swartland, South Africa

The 2024 Kokerboom is a blend of Sémillon Blanc and Gris. Mellow on the nose, this is the most timid of Sadie's '24s at the moment, with very light wet wool and earthy aromas. The palate is very spicy on the entry, with a touch of ginger, linear and minimalist for Sémillon, with a bright, sapid, slightly fiery finish. Very fine.Neal Martin, Vinous 92 Points

Sadie Family Swartland Palladius 2023

White Blend | Swartland, South Africa

“Palladius now includes 14 different varieties, with the addition of 6% Assyrtiko to the blend in 2023. Fresher and more focused than it used to be, with less stone fruit sweetness, this is one of the best young releases I've tasted, but will age very well too. Pear, citrus and apricot flavours are underpinned by pithy acidity, with a salty undertone, subtle wood and a tapering finish. 2027-35.”  Tim Atkin MW, 98 Points“The 2023 offers pressed yellow flowers and light walnut and
