The nose is shy and subtle, though notions of red apple, peppery rye crumb, stone and lemon emerge with more air. Tightly coiled, the palate suggests spicy riches with its insinuations of white pepper and tangerine peel. A lovely interplay of Pinot richness and Chardonnay slinkiness, showing depth, svelteness and elegance. It justs needs air to breathe. Gorgeous.Inc. VAT£350.66 -

The 2021-based release of Taittinger’s NV Prestige Rosé, incorporating reserve wines from 2019, 2018 and 2016 and disgorged in January 2025 with a dosage of nine grams per liter, is showing well, revealing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and pink grapefruit mingling with brioche and timut pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, ample yet vibrant, it includes 14% still red wine, which lends attractive phenolic grip to its rich core of fruit. It is a blend of 35% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. Its clear-glass bottle leaves it vulnerable to light strike, so it is essential to avoid exposure to direct sunlight.Inc.

(1x75cl) 2021Inspired by the diversity of Hokkaido's breathtaking islands and climate, Takahiko Hokkaido Nana Tsu Mori Pinot Noir 2021 is an exquisite testament to the mastery of Japanese winemaking. Crafted in the northernmost wine region of Japan, it's a true reflection of the unique terroir of its provenance. This Pinot Noir is redolent with the freshness of cranberries and pomegranate intertwined with subtle notes of earth and forest floor.
Patiently matured in French Oak barrels, this complex wine exhibits a perfect balance of acidity, fruity undertones, and supple tannins. Driven by a passion for honouring local wine culture, Takahiko Winery has excelled in creating a delectably refined Pinot Noir that dances on the palate and deepens the wine exploration journey.
Excellent when savoured alone, Takahiko Hokkaido Nana Tsu Mori Pinot Noir 2021 also pairs delightfully with an array of cuisines, demonstrating its versatile charm and asserting its place among fine wines.

A sweet, soft, commercially-styled wine, the 1994 offers a medium deep ruby color, a smoky, berry-scented nose, supple, fruity flavors, medium body, no hard tannin (a rarity for a 1994), and an easy to understand finish. Drink it over the next 4-8 years.Inc. VAT£781.74 -

The 2006 Talbot has an attractive bouquet of pure black cherry and blueberry fruit, a little more refined than its peers. It is less mentholé in style and therefore delivers commendable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins. A touch of aniseed is just a little distracting, but the 2006 retains fine balance and seems to have coalesced since I last tasted it. Quite delicious.Inc. VAT£1,039.87 -

The 2011 Talbot has a light and fragrant bouquet with red berry fruit, bell pepper and earthy notes, a touch of sage emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a satisfying succulent on the entry, quite fleshy for a Saint-Julien in this vintage, not complexity but judiciously spiced and lively on the finish. For me, this Talbot overperforms in context of the growing season. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.Inc. VAT£789.40 -
(12x75cl) 2012Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2012 is a supple, inviting wine. Dark red cherry, plum, smoke and licorice appear first, followed by scents of graphite, smoke, violet and sage that add nuance. This expressive, open-knit Saint-Julien has a lot to offer. Above all else, the Talbot is incredibly sensual and inviting. It will be hard to resist young, but also has enough depth to drink well for two decades, perhaps longer.Inc. VAT£817.87 -

The 2014 Talbot is soft, silky and wonderfully nuanced on the palate. Much more refined from bottle than it was from barrel, the 2014 has moved toward greater finesse over the last two years. This is a lovely effort. Lifted rose petal and lavender notes add closing nuance. The blend is 62 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 % Merlot and 6 % Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.Inc. VAT£383.52 -
