Champagne Pol Roger Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 2015 Magnum
"The 2015 Brut Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill shows off the savory side of the vintage to great effect. Hints of dried pear, sage, mint, dried flowers, lemon oil and chamomile open gradually in this mid-weight, lithe edition of Pol Roger's tête de cuvée. The 2015 unfolds nicely with time in the glass, but I wouldn't think of opening a bottle anytime soon. Readers will find a nervy Winston Churchill marked by notable freshness and vigor more than size. This is a fine effort in a vintage that has proven to be far trickier than most observers originally envisioned. Dosage is 7 grams per liter. Disgorged September 2022." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs 2015
Champagne Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs 2015, "After the pillowy, chiseled 2013, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Blanc de Blancs is cut from richer, broader cloth. Offering up aromas of crisp golden orchard fruit, white flowers and subtle hints of warm biscuits, it's full-bodied, broad and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a precise, chalky finish. In style, it's reminiscent of a somewhat more sun-kissed version of the 2012 rendition." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
Champagne Pol Roger Rosé 2015
"Fleshy and dramatic, Pol Roger's 2015 Brut Rosé bursts with aromas of plums, red berries, blanched almonds and subtle hints of tangerine oil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with an elegantly muscular, vinous profile, its fleshy core of fruit girdled by bright acids and delicately chalky structuring extract. This is an especially gastronomic rosé from this house, and it should age with style given its concentration and depth." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Valenciso Rioja Reserva Red 2015 Magnum
Valenciso Rioja Reserva Red 2015 Magnum, "From an Atlantic styled vintage, the 2015 brims with elegance and finesse. The result is a beautifully cool, spicy and elegant Rioja with plenty of red fruited strawberry sweetness spiked with more-ish meaty characters, brown spices and aniseed notes. It has a supple texture and a fresh, racy finish. Super classy is this fine vino." - Tim Atkin MW

Château Musar Red 2015
Château Musar Red 2015 "Deep ruby colour and an aroma of fresh hedgerow berries - bramble, blackcurrant and cherry, also more complexity coming through later with leather and delicate, peppery-spice notes. The flavours are similar, with some soft vanilla, warming spice and a cocoa note. Fresh acidity and supple tannins make the wine a perfect accompaniment to richer, fattier meats like duck or a ribeye steak." Winemaker's notes
Trapet Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Grand Cru 2015
Trapet Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Grand Cru 2015, "From the heavy, well-structured and very stony calcareous soil of the 33-hectare Grand Cru and harvested on September 27, the 2015 Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris offers a clear, delicate but dense and elegant bouquet of fresh, ripe fruits. Fermented in stainless steel, this is a clear, fresh and mineral, very elegant Pinot Gris, offering a fruity sweetness combined with a lot of finesse and a lingering salinity. The tannins are fine and the wine reveals good tension. A terrific Pinot Gris that should be aged for another seven years to gain even more complexity and reduce the sweetness a bit." - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
Trapet Sonnenglanz Gewürztraminer Grand Cru 2015
Trapet Sonnenglanz Gewürztraminer Grand Cru 2015, "From 30-year-old vines on shell limestone soils and fermented in concrete eggs, the 2015 Sonnenglanz Gewürztraminer is a fine and elegant dry fermented to medium-sweet. Bottled in September 2016, this wine has a very clear, intense and fresh bouquet with smoky aromas and fresh lemon flavors. Round, dense and tightly woven, this is a mouth-filling Gewurz with a lovely juiciness and concentration. Fine tannins and a stimulating salinity make this another gorgeous Gewurz." - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
Trapet Schoenenbourg Riesling Grand Cru 2015
Trapet Schoenenbourg Riesling Grand Cru 2016 Magnum, “Schoenenbourg Grand Cru wines age particularly well, and in time develop powerful, rich aromas. Its microclimate makes it admirably suited to the production of prestigious Vendanges Tardives and Sélections de Grains Nobles, late-harvest wines.”- Winemaker’s notes
Bodegas Vega Sicilia 2015 Valbuena 5˚ 3L
Opaque garnet. Vibrant, finely detailed cherry liqueur, dark berry, exotic spice and floral qualities on the expressive nose, along with hints of mocha and incense. Stains the palate with sweet, penetrating red and dark fruit, violet pastille, chewing tobacco and spicecake flavors that pick up a vanilla flourish on the back half. Smoothly blends power and finesse and finishes on a youthfully tannic note, showing outstanding clarity and mineral-tinged persistence.
