The E.J. Carr Late Disgorged is a special, 30th anniversary release housed in a limited 1566 bottle edition. This spectacular wine is a true showcase of the prestige of the House of Arras style with its hallmark craftsmanship of extended lees aging - this wine for almost two decades. The Bouquet, Aromas of classical lemon curd and marzipan intertwine with hints of fresh brioche, field mushroom, truffle and caramelised walnuts. The Palate, An elegant and refined palate with notes of lemon curd, roasted almond and nougat alongside underlying yeasty and creme brulee characters. The low dosage accentuates the vivacity and purity of the fruit. Undergoing 16 years in tirage allows superb depth and complexity to the palate. Enjoy as an aperitif and as a versatile accompaniment to an array of gastronomy, most notably fresh seafood. This wine is an extraordinary example of time in tirage and therefore worthy of a celebration by itself.

As usual, the 2017 RunRig is approximately 2% Viognier. It spent almost 30 months in oak, 40% of which was new. Hints of peach or apricot appear on the nose, alongside notes of hickory smoke, cherries and baking spices. It's full-bodied and concentrated but supple and silky enough to seem lighter in the mouth, showing tremendous length and elegance on the finish, where it adds nuances of cinnamon and cocoa. Rating: 98/100.

Dom Pérignon is the most famous Champagne in the world, and for good reason. The bouquet sparkles with delicate fresh violets in a setting of white peaches. The soft delicate flavours continue while the senses are tickled by the most delicate of fine bubbles. Though this is such a fine delicate wine, the complexity is astounding, along with its length. Stunning.

A rare, generous and delicious Chardonnay-dominant Cuvée with rich apricot, floral and yeasty characters with touches of vanilla and spice. A long, elegant and powerful finish. A Champage of ultra elgance that is always extremely limited. Simply superb.

Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the finest expression of the world famous wine from one of the greatest Champagne Houses. First produced in 1952, Comtes is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from 6 Grand Cru sites in the Cité de Blancs. Showing a pristine pale yellow colour with very light, abundant bubbles which rise uniformly to form a fine mousse. The evocative bouquet opens with notes of pears and fresh cute white flowers. Left in the glass for a time, the nose develops a richness and density of pure character. Once on the palate, Comtes is lively, direct and precise with flavours of candied lemon zest and fresh pineapple. The balance is something to behold. This Champagne's marriage of finesse and aromatic intensity is a promise of further potential, but already offers very pleasurable drinking.

Krug is well and truly one of the great wine experiences in the world. It is an exercise in balance and poise, being at once as fine and delicate as crystal and rich with meaty nuttiness. With an almost ethereal bead, there is plenty of toast, dried fruit and hazelnut complexity. Magnificent!
