Ch. d'Yquem is often described as the greatest sweet white wine in the world; quite a reputation to live up to in a difficult vintage for sweet wines.The 2006 was luscious and rich with lovely tarte aux pommes flavours, sweet pineapple and citrus fruit of great purity. It was well-balanced with beautiful freshness and incredible concentration but perhaps lacking the depth and complexity of better vintages. This will be an early-drinking Yquem with its beautifully pure fruit overriding the botrytis characteristics. It is still the Sauternes of the vintage, but this says more about the quality of 2006 Sauternes than it does about d'Yquem.

According to the team at d'Yquem, the 2007 vintage reminded them of a combination of 1997, the legendary 1967 and the stylish 1988. The wealth of flavour on the palate is seamless and completely mouthfilling without yet showing the glorious detail to come, while the finish is sensationally long. This has lived up to every expectation in 2007 and will surely be considered as one of the truly great d'Yquems of all time.

While not as majestic as the ethereal 2001 it's going to give it a run for its money! ... and it's a lot of money make no mistake. The '07 is expensive but we feel honour bound to offer it as this is one of the greatest wines in the world.

Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc.

Only 39% of production was used for the Grand Vin and with a whopping 90.5% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend the 2004 Lafite needs little introduction. This wine has one of the most exciting noses - intense, spicy, pure cassis and a generous helping of creamy vanilla. The palate is just as exciting, exhibiting terrific concentration and a hint of warm new oak which leads to an intense, linear core of lively blackcurrants and layers of intriguing minerality.The Cabernet was very evident on the finish with the variety's characteristically firm tannins taking over at the end, making this one for the long-term.

"In contrast to the 1993's penetrating, upfront aromas, the 1994 is closed aromatically. With coaxing, some truffle-like, sweet, black fruit aromas, as well as those of mineral/stones come forward. This spicy, full-bodied, powerful wine is a more masculine, structured effort than the 1993, with a potentially more complex, richer character. It is superbly crafted, beautifully balanced, and as pure as a wine can be. The integration of new oak, acidity, and tannin is commendable. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025". (Clive Coates)

Ch. d'Yquem reported 2003 as the hottest year since 1896, the previous hottest being the 1976 which provided a superb wine with excellent botrytis which is now showing at its best. Ch. d'Yquem conclude their report: "This unusual vintage will no doubt remain a benchmark for many years to come. An extraordinary summer, "total" botrytis, and the sacrifice of part of the estate made it possible to harvest grapes with optimum fruit and and concentration thanks to unusually clean botrtization."

No wine in Bordeaux is more silky and gorgeously textured than Ch. Lafite. Happily, their 2007 continues the trend. A rich, fine, dark fruit compote nose leads to a wonderfully fresh, refined palate with delicate yet intense cassis, plum and cedar-box flavours caressing the tastebuds on their way to an exquisite finish. Lafite have not tried to produce a blockbuster in 2007 but have worked in perfect harmony with the vintage. Using low yields and allowing only 38% of the crop into the Grand Vin, they have wholeheartedly succeeded in producing a beautifully classic 2007 Lafite.

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc.
Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery.

This outstanding Haut-Brion may not have the opulence of Mouton or the sheer class of Latour but its power, breeding and structure arguably make it the most complete First Growth in 2007. It is a Cabernet-dominated Haut-Brion with 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc alongside 43% Merlot. A majestic nose with bitter chocolate hints is followed by a palate of immense power (for 2007) with gloriously rich, sweet black fruit, minerals, tobacco and mocha and big but velvety tannins. With perfect balance, weight and poise, Haut-Brion is in another dimension to almost every other 2007 we have tasted. Bravo.

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 12.5% alc.

Winemaker/administrator Jean Delmas considers this to be his best wine since 2000. Only 55% of the production - a blend of 61% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc - has gone into the hedonistic Grand Vin. Enticing aromas of ripe, spicy plums and raisins with nuances of tobacco, minerals and vanilla entice you to take a sip. It is completely delicious, with notes of Swiss chocolate, sweet fruit, toast and cinnamon spice and fine tannins. An exceptionally pure, round and extremely polished wine. Drink 2015-2030.

"This may be the finest Cheval Blanc since the monumental 2000.... .A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a classic Cheval perfume of menthol, red as well as black currants, smoke, oranges, and black tea. It possesses beautiful sweetness and purity, medium body, extraordinary elegance, and potential complexity. While not a blockbuster in the style of the 2000 and 1998, it is a precise, fragrant, potentially top-flight effort as well as one of the finest wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022." 93-95/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2005)

Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon Blend, For laying down, 13.5% alc.

"Haut Brion 2001, which was bottled late (the end of September 2003), possesses an umistakable nobility as well as a burgeoning complexity. Plum/purple to the rim, this blend of 52% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Cabernet Franc is playing it close to the vest, having closed down considerably after bottling. Nevertheless, it reveals pure notes of sweet and sour cherries, black currants, licorice, smoke, and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with excellent purity , firm tannin and an angular,structured finish. it requires 5-7 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2009-20020+."
