Bellevue Mondotte 2008 (12x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,316.14
2008	Bellevue Mondotte 2008 (12x75cl) Wine Advocate (95+) An extraordinary effort in this vintage, this 2008 was made from lower yields than the 2010 (the 2008's equaled 20 hectoliters per hectare) and is a blend of 90% Merlot and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that came in at 14% natural alcohol. Michel Rolland has been the consultant for all the Perse estates since their acquisition, and the 2008's fruit was harvested very late, October 20. The result is a backward, dense purple-colored wine revealing a crushed rock-like liqueur along with highly extracted, massive flavors of black currants, sweet cherries, licorice and toast. This full-bodied effort requires 5-6 years of bottle age and should last for 25-30 years. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	12x75cl	1	95+ (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,316.14
Billecart Salmon Brut Vintage 2008 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £436.07
2008	Billecart Salmon Brut Vintage 2008 (6x75cl) Decanter (97) A blend of 65% Pinot Noir consisting of Premier and Grand Crus from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne and 35% Chardonnay from the Cote des Blancs. Significantly, this has nine years ageing on its lees (longer than some Prestige Cuvees), the 2008 was first released onto the global market back in March 2019. With an Extra Brut dosage of 4g/l, this is a highly expressive, confident and convincing interpretation of the vintage. Right now, it is youthfully sharp and focused with fine salinity, depth, acidity and balance, and as such is already extremely approachable. The flavour spectrum encompasses toast, oyster shell, citrus, cream and a flinty, mineral depth. There’s supreme balance and elegance here, combined with a hidden underlying power that will continue to emerge and broaden with time. The finish is dry and long. 5 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	5	97 (DC) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £436.07
Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rose 2008 (3x150cl) Inc. VAT: £1,399.67
2008	Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rose 2008 (3x150cl) James Suckling (98) This is very vinous with aromas of iron, strawberries, old roses and geraniums. So aromatic. Full-bodied, really intense and layered with super dryness and depth. Lots of saline and spicy character at the end, such as clove and pepper, as well as hints of flowers and melted butter. Strawberry tart at the end. 17% in aged oak casks. Blend of 55% pinot noir from six villages (Mareuil sur Ay, Ay, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzenay and Verzy) and 45% chardonnay from three Grand Crus (Mesnil sur Oger, Cramant and Chouilly). 9% of the blend is red wine from a parcel in the village of Mareuil sur Ay.

Blair Athol (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Highland Single Malt Cask #309719B 2008 (1x70cl) Inc. VAT: £188.22
2008	Blair Athol (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Highland Single Malt Cask #309719B 2008 (1x70cl) This twelve-year-old Highland Single Malt was distilled in 2008 at the Blair Athol Distillery along the banks of the River Tummel. Drawn from a single, undersized 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel previously used by the Koval Distillery, it is a youthful pale golden colour with bright aromatics of red apple and pear as well as fine vanilla and warm baking spices. A generous, well-balanced highlander from one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland dating back to 1798, this is a personal favourite and a fitting first bottling of the Stiùbhart Single Cask Selection. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.9% without chill filtration or added colouring. This is the first bottling to be released by the Stewart Whisky Company. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Scotland	1x70cl	1	- Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £188.22
Bollinger La Grande Annee 2008 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,072.07
2008	Bollinger La Grande Annee 2008 (6x75cl) Jeb Dunnuck (99) The 2008 La Grande Année is another brilliant 2008 that delivers the goods. Straight-up awesome notes of stone fruits, white flowers, honeysuckle, and an incredible, liquid rock-like minerality all emerge from the glass, and it develops more nuance, spice, toasted bread, and an almost Alsatian Riesling-like petrol character over the course of the evening. It’s a full-bodied, rich, powerful Champagne, yet like the top 2008s, it has brilliant precision, purity, and focus. It’s unquestionably one of the finest versions of this cuvée ever produced, although it needs another 4-5 years of bottle age to hit prime time. It should keep for 3-4 decades.

Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 2008 (1x75cl) Inc. VAT: £2,516.68
2008	Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 2008 (1x75cl) Vinous (98) The 2008 Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Françaises is a total thrill to taste. Bright and finely sculpted, the VVF expresses all of the natural tension of the year in grand style. One moment it is the aromatics that are most captivating, then in another moment it is the wine's total balance that makes the strongest impression. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2008 VVF is one of those rare Champagnes than can hold the taster's attention for hours, or at least until the bottling is finished. Bollinger's tiny production Blanc de Noirs from ungrafted vines in two tiny plots totaling 0.36 hectares is truly mesmerizing in 2008. I can't wait to taste it next to some of the other iconic vintages. Harvest took place on September 18 and the wine was vinified entirely in new oak. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	1x75cl	1	98 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £2,516.68

Caol Ila (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Islay Single Malt #301644 2008 (1x70cl) Inc. VAT: £292.43
2008	Caol Ila (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Islay Single Malt #301644 2008 (1x70cl) A single cask Islay malt matured in undersized ex-Bourbon barrels previously used to mature Bourbon whiskey at the Koval Distillery, showcasing Caol Ila’s classic oily maritime qualities with aromas of sweet, earthy peat, sea breeze and iodine alongside pungent, warming spices evoking cinnamon, cumin, smoked pepper and cardamom. A finish laced with eucalyptus and dried mint makes for a restrained, finessed Islay with a long, dynamic finish. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.1% without colouring or filtration. The second bottling from the Stewart Whisky Company in their Stiùbhart Single Cask selection, released in March 2021 at 13 years of age in a limited run of just 132 bottles. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Scotland	1x70cl	1	- Read Review/Description	Inc.

2008	Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Riserva 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Spectator (95) A complex bouquet of smoky cherry, plum, iron, leather and spice is enticing, while the supple texture is laden with fading fruit, spice, sanguine and tobacco flavors. Lively and long, it firms up on the finish, where the fruit and savory elements converge. Drink now through 2033.

2008	Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (94) The 2008 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux is far superior to the 2005. It is relatively backward on the nose, but it has startling delineation with open, natural red-berry fruit – predominantly freshly picked strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate. With continued aeration it offers a cheeky hint of white chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. This is very harmonious and feminine with a silky texture that lends it a Vosne-like finish. What a lovely 2008!

2008	De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (88) The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is de-stemmed and raised in 40% new oak for 23 months. It has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, black plum and fresh dates that is well defined. The palate has a toasty entry with a charcoal tincture. The acidity is in tune with the oaky black fruit, while the finish is sweet, with a slight bitter edge.

2008	De Trafford Elevation 393 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Spectator (93) Dark earth, roasted plum, singed cedar and coffee notes form the frame of this old-school Cabernet, with bay, tobacco, mulled currant, mint and steeped blackberry fruit at the core. The long finish lets the savory notes play out beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	1	93 (WS) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £478.07
De Trafford Merlot 2008 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £176.87
2008	De Trafford Merlot 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (82) The 2008 Merlot comes from five block up to 18 years old and saw 35% new French oak for 18 months. It has a slightly reduced nose that keeps the fruit chained up, unable to express itself. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, but it is lacking tension and complexity on the monotone finish. There are much stronger wines from De Trafford than this Merlot. 3 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	3	82 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £176.87

2008	Descendientes de Jose Palacios Moncerbal 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (93) The 2008 Corullon Moncerbal, also from a steep hillside vineyard, is a bit more tightly wound than the Las Lamas but is equally promising in its already complex, mouth-filling, impeccably balanced debonnair personality. Sophisticated and charming, all it needs is another 4-5 years of cellaring. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Castilla y Leon	6x75cl	2	93 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £556.07

2008	Dom Perignon 2008 (3x150cl) Decanter (98) Dom Perignon 2008 will leave memories in the minds of wine lovers. A powerful, toasted style, the bouquet expresses aromas of almonds, candied lemon and a slight smoky touch that gives it an additional richness. The palate is powerful with a vinous character and an almost fleshy texture. Of course, time in the cellar will allow it to express itself fully, but it's still possible to enjoy this now. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	3x150cl	1	98 (DC) Read Review/Description	Inc.

2008	Dom Perignon Legacy 2008 (6x75cl) Vinous (98) The 2008 Dom Pérignon is a huge, powerful Champagne and also clearly one of the wines of the vintage. This is one of the most reticent bottles I have tasted. So much so that I am thinking about holding off opening any more bottles! The 2008 has always offered a striking interplay of fruit and structure. Today, the richness of the fruit is especially evident. Readers who own the 2008 should be thrilled, but patience is a must. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	98 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £1,396.07

2008	Egly-Ouriet Brut Grand Cru Millesime 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (100) Francis Egly and I tasted a bottle trial disgorgement of the 2008 Brut Grand Cru Millésime that saw six grams per liter dosage, and the wine surpassed even my high expectations. Wafting from the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, praline, warm bread and walnuts, it's full-bodied, deep and multi-dimensional, with an immensely layered, concentrated core that cloaks its racy but ripe spine of acidity, abundant but refined structuring dry extract and an incredibly long, precise and sapid finish. It represents the confluence of a great vigneron at the peak of his powers with a historic vintage, and it's unquestionably the finest 2008 Champagne that I've tasted to date. Egly and I agreed that it might be even better with only five grams per liter dosage, but we'll see what he finally decides when he disgorges the wine later this year. What is clear is that the the 2008 Brut Grand Cru Millésime will be worth any and every effort to seek out once it arrives on the market. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	100 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva Runcot 2008 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £942.47
2008	Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva Runcot 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (97) The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is an exceptional wine that is only made in the best years. It was produced in 2008, 2010 and 2013. The wine undergoes a 40-day maceration time with four years in oak and one more year of bottle aging. The results are sublime and generous. Riserva Rüncot opens to a beautifully tempered and expressive bouquet that exhibits elements of wild berry, forest floor, candied fruit, licorice, cola and dried ginger. The balsamic signature is particularly beautiful and elegant. Smooth and silky tannins denote the mouthfeel and carry the wine forward over the palate. This is one of the top releases from Piedmont this year. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	1	97 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £942.47

2008	Grand Village 2008 (12x37.5cl) Wine Advocate (87) Tasted at Justerini & Brooks agency tasting in London. The Château Grand Village 2008 has a foursquare and slightly austere bouquet that seems strict and serious. The palate is more approachable with firm tannin, a sprinkle of white pepper over the black fruit with an iron note toward the finish. I appreciate the freshness and vitality here. Not a complex Grand Village, but one that should continue to develop in bottle. Give it another couple of years. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	12x37.5cl	1	87 (WA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £130.07

Leoville Las Cases 2008 (12x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,652.14
2008	Leoville Las Cases 2008 (12x75cl) Vinous (96) The 2008 Léoville Las Cases has a backward, broody, earthy bouquet with intense tobacco and graphite aromas, more like a Pauillac than a Saint Julien, no surprise given that it lies on the border. The palate is very impressive: layers of tobacco-tinged black fruit, sea salt and graphite. This is very precise and harmonious with a persistent and multi-layered finish that leaves you mightily impressed. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	12x75cl	1	96 (VN) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Rioja Reserva 2008 (6x75cl) Inc. VAT: £292.07
2008	Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Rioja Reserva 2008 (6x75cl) Tim Atkin MW (97) Tondonia's reds have been on an upward curve recently and are now at the same level as the bodega's world-class whites. This is a fine, elegant, savoury, low-alcohol blend of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, combining summer berry fruit, racy acidity, granular tannins and an earthy, balsamic undertone. Good now, but this will develop further in bottle. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rioja	6x75cl	2	97 (TA) Read Review/Description	Inc. VAT: £292.07

This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless, yet powerful style on the palate. This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haut Couture at its finest and this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk anytime over the coming 2-3 decades. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	3x75cl	1	100 (JD) Read Review/Description	Inc.

Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2008 (2x75cl) Inc. VAT: £1,505.36
2008	Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2008 (2x75cl) Wine Advocate (100) The finest rendition of this cuvée that Lécaillon has produced to date—and, indeed, one of the finest wines produced by any of Champagne's important houses in the last two or three decades—is the 2008 Cristal Rosé, a brilliant wine that derives from a mere four of the 45 plots that are candidates for inclusion in Cristal: two blocks of Pinot Noir from Aÿ, one of Chardonnay from Mesnil and another from Avize, and I suspect that its origin in the crème de la crème of Roederer's Cristal-worthy holdings has even more to do with the extra dimension it possesses above and beyond its white counterpart than the delicate infusion of Pinot Noir phenolics that give it its delicate pink hue. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild strawberries, tangerine, warm pastry and crisp green orchard fruit, the 2008 is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy but beautifully integrated spine of acidity, a multidimensional core and a searingly chalky and laser-focused finish. Impeccably balanced and harmonious, this superb wine represents one of the qualitative peaks of this great vintage. It will be seven or eight years until it truly starts to blossom, but its benchmark quality is already glaringly apparent.

Significantly, this has nine years ageing on its lees (longer than some Prestige Cuvees), the 2008 was first released onto the global market back in March 2019. With an Extra Brut dosage of 4g/l, this is a highly expressive, confident and convincing interpretation of the vintage. Right now, it is youthfully sharp and focused with fine salinity, depth, acidity and balance, and as such is already extremely approachable. The flavour spectrum encompasses toast, oyster shell, citrus, cream and a flinty, mineral depth. There’s supreme balance and elegance here, combined with a hidden underlying power that will continue to emerge and broaden with time. The finish is dry and long. 5 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	5	97 (DC) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £350.00

Blend of 55% pinot noir from six villages (Mareuil sur Ay, Ay, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzenay and Verzy) and 45% chardonnay from three Grand Crus (Mesnil sur Oger, Cramant and Chouilly). 9% of the blend is red wine from a parcel in the village of Mareuil sur Ay. Bottled June 2009 and disgorged July 2019. Drink or hold. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	98 (JS) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £861.99
Blair Athol (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Highland Single Malt Cask #309719B 2008 (1x70cl) In Bond: £145.00
2008	Blair Athol (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Highland Single Malt Cask #309719B 2008 (1x70cl) This twelve-year-old Highland Single Malt was distilled in 2008 at the Blair Athol Distillery along the banks of the River Tummel. Drawn from a single, undersized 1st Fill Bourbon Barrel previously used by the Koval Distillery, it is a youthful pale golden colour with bright aromatics of red apple and pear as well as fine vanilla and warm baking spices. A generous, well-balanced highlander from one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland dating back to 1798, this is a personal favourite and a fitting first bottling of the Stiùbhart Single Cask Selection. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.9% without chill filtration or added colouring. This is the first bottling to be released by the Stewart Whisky Company. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Scotland	1x70cl	1	- Read Review/Description	In Bond: £145.00
Bollinger La Grande Annee 2008 (6x75cl) In Bond: £880.00
2008	Bollinger La Grande Annee 2008 (6x75cl) Jeb Dunnuck (99) The 2008 La Grande Année is another brilliant 2008 that delivers the goods. Straight-up awesome notes of stone fruits, white flowers, honeysuckle, and an incredible, liquid rock-like minerality all emerge from the glass, and it develops more nuance, spice, toasted bread, and an almost Alsatian Riesling-like petrol character over the course of the evening. It’s a full-bodied, rich, powerful Champagne, yet like the top 2008s, it has brilliant precision, purity, and focus. It’s unquestionably one of the finest versions of this cuvée ever produced, although it needs another 4-5 years of bottle age to hit prime time. It should keep for 3-4 decades.

Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 2008 (1x75cl) In Bond: £2,095.00
2008	Bollinger Vieilles Vignes Francaises 2008 (1x75cl) Vinous (98) The 2008 Blanc de Noirs Vieilles Vignes Françaises is a total thrill to taste. Bright and finely sculpted, the VVF expresses all of the natural tension of the year in grand style. One moment it is the aromatics that are most captivating, then in another moment it is the wine's total balance that makes the strongest impression. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2008 VVF is one of those rare Champagnes than can hold the taster's attention for hours, or at least until the bottling is finished. Bollinger's tiny production Blanc de Noirs from ungrafted vines in two tiny plots totaling 0.36 hectares is truly mesmerizing in 2008. I can't wait to taste it next to some of the other iconic vintages. Harvest took place on September 18 and the wine was vinified entirely in new oak. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	1x75cl	1	98 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £2,095.00

2008	Caol Ila (Stiùbhart Single Cask) Islay Single Malt #301644 2008 (1x70cl) A single cask Islay malt matured in undersized ex-Bourbon barrels previously used to mature Bourbon whiskey at the Koval Distillery, showcasing Caol Ila’s classic oily maritime qualities with aromas of sweet, earthy peat, sea breeze and iodine alongside pungent, warming spices evoking cinnamon, cumin, smoked pepper and cardamom. A finish laced with eucalyptus and dried mint makes for a restrained, finessed Islay with a long, dynamic finish. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 58.1% without colouring or filtration. The second bottling from the Stewart Whisky Company in their Stiùbhart Single Cask selection, released in March 2021 at 13 years of age in a limited run of just 132 bottles. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Scotland	1x70cl	1	- Read Review/Description	In Bond: £232.00

Lively and long, it firms up on the finish, where the fruit and savory elements converge. Drink now through 2033.

2008	Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (94) The 2008 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux is far superior to the 2005. It is relatively backward on the nose, but it has startling delineation with open, natural red-berry fruit – predominantly freshly picked strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate. With continued aeration it offers a cheeky hint of white chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins. This is very harmonious and feminine with a silky texture that lends it a Vosne-like finish. What a lovely 2008!

2008	De Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (88) The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is de-stemmed and raised in 40% new oak for 23 months. It has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, black plum and fresh dates that is well defined. The palate has a toasty entry with a charcoal tincture. The acidity is in tune with the oaky black fruit, while the finish is sweet, with a slight bitter edge.

2008	De Trafford Elevation 393 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Spectator (93) Dark earth, roasted plum, singed cedar and coffee notes form the frame of this old-school Cabernet, with bay, tobacco, mulled currant, mint and steeped blackberry fruit at the core. The long finish lets the savory notes play out beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	1	93 (WS) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £385.00
De Trafford Merlot 2008 (6x75cl) In Bond: £134.00
2008	De Trafford Merlot 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (82) The 2008 Merlot comes from five block up to 18 years old and saw 35% new French oak for 18 months. It has a slightly reduced nose that keeps the fruit chained up, unable to express itself. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannins, but it is lacking tension and complexity on the monotone finish. There are much stronger wines from De Trafford than this Merlot. 3 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Coastal Region	6x75cl	3	82 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £134.00

Sophisticated and charming, all it needs is another 4-5 years of cellaring. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Castilla y Leon	6x75cl	2	93 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £450.00

A powerful, toasted style, the bouquet expresses aromas of almonds, candied lemon and a slight smoky touch that gives it an additional richness. The palate is powerful with a vinous character and an almost fleshy texture. Of course, time in the cellar will allow it to express itself fully, but it's still possible to enjoy this now. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	3x150cl	1	98 (DC) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £1,405.00

This is one of the most reticent bottles I have tasted. So much so that I am thinking about holding off opening any more bottles! The 2008 has always offered a striking interplay of fruit and structure. Today, the richness of the fruit is especially evident.

2008	Egly-Ouriet Brut Grand Cru Millesime 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (100) Francis Egly and I tasted a bottle trial disgorgement of the 2008 Brut Grand Cru Millésime that saw six grams per liter dosage, and the wine surpassed even my high expectations. Wafting from the glass with scents of crisp orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, praline, warm bread and walnuts, it's full-bodied, deep and multi-dimensional, with an immensely layered, concentrated core that cloaks its racy but ripe spine of acidity, abundant but refined structuring dry extract and an incredibly long, precise and sapid finish. It represents the confluence of a great vigneron at the peak of his powers with a historic vintage, and it's unquestionably the finest 2008 Champagne that I've tasted to date. Egly and I agreed that it might be even better with only five grams per liter dosage, but we'll see what he finally decides when he disgorges the wine later this year. What is clear is that the the 2008 Brut Grand Cru Millésime will be worth any and every effort to seek out once it arrives on the market. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Champagne	6x75cl	1	100 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £3,850.00

2008	Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva Runcot 2008 (6x75cl) Wine Advocate (97) The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is an exceptional wine that is only made in the best years. It was produced in 2008, 2010 and 2013. The wine undergoes a 40-day maceration time with four years in oak and one more year of bottle aging. The results are sublime and generous. Riserva Rüncot opens to a beautifully tempered and expressive bouquet that exhibits elements of wild berry, forest floor, candied fruit, licorice, cola and dried ginger. The balsamic signature is particularly beautiful and elegant. Smooth and silky tannins denote the mouthfeel and carry the wine forward over the palate. This is one of the top releases from Piedmont this year. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Piedmont	6x75cl	1	97 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £772.00

2008	Grand Village 2008 (12x37.5cl) Wine Advocate (87) Tasted at Justerini & Brooks agency tasting in London. The Château Grand Village 2008 has a foursquare and slightly austere bouquet that seems strict and serious. The palate is more approachable with firm tannin, a sprinkle of white pepper over the black fruit with an iron note toward the finish. I appreciate the freshness and vitality here. Not a complex Grand Village, but one that should continue to develop in bottle. Give it another couple of years. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	12x37.5cl	1	87 (WA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £95.00

The palate is very impressive: layers of tobacco-tinged black fruit, sea salt and graphite. This is very precise and harmonious with a persistent and multi-layered finish that leaves you mightily impressed. 1 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Bordeaux	12x75cl	1	96 (VN) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £1,350.00

2008	Lopez de Heredia Vina Tondonia Rioja Reserva 2008 (6x75cl) Tim Atkin MW (97) Tondonia's reds have been on an upward curve recently and are now at the same level as the bodega's world-class whites. This is a fine, elegant, savoury, low-alcohol blend of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, combining summer berry fruit, racy acidity, granular tannins and an earthy, balsamic undertone. Good now, but this will develop further in bottle. 2 In Stock - Immediate Delivery	Rioja	6x75cl	2	97 (TA) Read Review/Description	In Bond: £230.00

Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2008 (2x75cl) In Bond: £1,250.00
2008	Louis Roederer Cristal Rose 2008 (2x75cl) Wine Advocate (100) The finest rendition of this cuvée that Lécaillon has produced to date—and, indeed, one of the finest wines produced by any of Champagne's important houses in the last two or three decades—is the 2008 Cristal Rosé, a brilliant wine that derives from a mere four of the 45 plots that are candidates for inclusion in Cristal: two blocks of Pinot Noir from Aÿ, one of Chardonnay from Mesnil and another from Avize, and I suspect that its origin in the crème de la crème of Roederer's Cristal-worthy holdings has even more to do with the extra dimension it possesses above and beyond its white counterpart than the delicate infusion of Pinot Noir phenolics that give it its delicate pink hue. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild strawberries, tangerine, warm pastry and crisp green orchard fruit, the 2008 is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy but beautifully integrated spine of acidity, a multidimensional core and a searingly chalky and laser-focused finish. Impeccably balanced and harmonious, this superb wine represents one of the qualitative peaks of this great vintage. It will be seven or eight years until it truly starts to blossom, but its benchmark quality is already glaringly apparent.
