James Suckling (97)
If you dream of the great German rieslings of the 1970s and 1980s, then this is a wine for you, even though it is riper and more concentrated than those icons of the past. In spite of the abundant generosity, this has a very long, distinctly cool finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.Inc. VAT£282.02 -
James Suckling (98)
What an expressive and exotic nose this remarkable Spatlese has, but that’s really the least of it. The giant energy and mineral freshness are like a whale rising from the depths and blowing water out if its spout. Then comes a cornucopia of fruit at the finish, the brilliance and finesse of which makes it really hard to describe. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.Inc.

Experience the tantalising richness of the Donnhoff Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spatlese R 2018. Immaculately crafted in Germany by celebrated producer, Helmut Dönnhoff, this Riesling is an exquisite exemplification of the terroir found in Nahe's Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg vineyard. Harmonising naturally high acidity with an impeccable late-harvest ripeness, the Spätlese showcases an outstanding purity of fruit.

Unquestionable longevity ensures fans of Dönnhoff's creations can relish the bottle's evolution over the forthcoming decade. Expertly judged sweetness, coupled with a poised, silken mouthfeel further bolsters its cool-climate provenance. Embrace the Donnhoff Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spatlese R 2018, as it truly captures the splendid art of winemaking in each glass.

(1x75cl) 1966Vinous (96)
Dow’s 1966 Vintage Port is a gorgeous example of the year, offering intense, deeply concentrated cherry liqueur, toffee, candied fig, maple syrup, datecake and membrillo qualities and a vibrant, spicy overtone. Silky and seamless in texture and finely detailed, it seduces with its balance and elegance rather than opulence and power, fully in keeping with the house style. Its intense sweetness is mitigated by its sharp delineation and energy. I have no doubt that it will outlive 1962-vintage people like me. Its a wonderfully flexible Port to serve with all sorts of not-too-sweet, savory desserts and, especially, mild cow’s milk blue cheeses.Inc. VAT£260.74 -

This fresh, backward wine offers a medium to full-bodied, deeply concentrated core of spice-laced dark fruits. Softly-textured and seductive in the mid-palate, it boasts abundant layers of candied Damson plums, blueberries, black cherries, molasses, and hints of chocolate before revealing its firm structure. Extremely youthful and primary, this exceptional effort demands patience. Projected maturity: 2025-2045+. Importer: Premium Port Wines, Inc., San Francisco, CA; tel. (866) 554-9920Inc. VAT£712.94 -

Amazing aromas of lilac, violet, crushed blueberry and mineral that turn to black pepper and spices follow through to a full-bodied, medium-sweet palate, with a long, chewy finish. Evolves to tar and asphalt. Really held back, yet powerful grip slaps you¿and makes you happy. This is mind-blowing in texture. The greatest Dow ever made. Best after 2022. 6,200 cases made. -JSInc.

The 2017 Dow’s Vintage Port showed a slight reduction and required more time to really open in the glass. Typical of Dow’s it has a more backward and introspective bouquet compared to its peers, scents of blackberry, clove, wild mint, cassis and vanilla, gradually gaining more intensity with aeration. The palate is simply glorious. It is built around a compelling tannic frame that seems finer than any Dow’s I have encountered apart from the ethereal 2011. There is so much energy coiled up in this Port, a sense of symmetry that is enthralling and yet you just know that it needs to be cellared for 15-20 years for it to reveal its full potential. For serious Port-lovers. One of the vintages most cerebral offerings. Total production is 5,250 cases.Inc. VAT£465.07 -

A site-typical nose of dark cherry and apple laced with mint presages a polished, delicate yet richly flavored palate at once succulently fruity and coolingly herb-infused. The effect is delightfully sorbet-like, leading to a buoyant finish of consummate refreshment. Loosen has been slowly dialing back the level of residual sugar in his Kabinetts, and here sweetness is deftly integrated and entirely supportive.Inc. VAT£254.42 -

Decadent, musky, heady notes of lily and narcissus overshadow orange marmalade and pear preserves on the nose. The glossy, caressing midpalate is wafting in its delicacy and liquid florality, yet also lusciously fruity. Site-typical notes of sassafras, tarragon and black tea add unexpected cooling and smoky complexities to the luscious fruit and liquid perfume of a hauntingly sustained finish. This bottling – which eloquently reflects Schug’s attempt to preserve delicacy, lift and definition in wines from Prälat – fermented spontaneously in cask, whereas the “regular” Auslesen reflect some stainless steel and yeasting.Inc.

The 2019 Erdener Treppchen Riesling GG Alte Reben comes from two very old plots adjacent the Prälat (the upper part of the former original Treppchen and the lower Herzlay) that have never been replanted since long before World War I. It shows a clear, intense yet subtle and deep, highly complex but also refined bouquet of very fine red slate and herbal aromas as well as perfectly clear and elegant Riesling fruits. Silky textured, highly finessed and perfectly balanced on the palate, this is a very intense and juicy, enormously long and concentrated yet finessed and mouthwatering Treppchen with the crystalline grip of broken slate and the intensity and complexity of biblical vines in a great terroir. The 2019 Treppchen is arguably the finest dry wine I have ever tasted from Ernie Loosen. Highly recommended. Tasted at the domain in September 2020.Inc. VAT£218.66 -

One of the best things about wine is its limitless nature.
Even professionals with 30 years under their belt come across new regions and new varietals all the time – it is the passion/hobby/profession that just keeps on giving. If you have not yet experienced the profound Gruners or Rieslings from Austria, the sweet nectar that is Tokaji from Hungary, the precise and terroir driven German Rieslings with unrivalled drinkability, the wild and sometimes bloody reds of Portugal, or any other of the beauties found off the beaten track, you are in for a treat. For wine can transport you to another place and time just by popping the cork, and there is a whole world full to discover.
