Oremus - Tokaji Aszu 6 puttonyos 2014 (50cl)

"Highly skilled winemaking and long ageing have given birth to this memorable nectar: enhance your meal, or enjoy it on its own".

"Honeyed apricots, juicy grapefruit and stewed figs meet on the palate of this beautifully balanced and structured Hungarian dessert wine. The long finish is brilliant, keeping the sweetness in check and leaving you eager for another sip."

Oremus - Tokaji Aszu 5 puttonyos 2016 (50cl)

"A textured mouthfeel, flawless balance, and simply delicious aromas: notice to lovers of exceptional tokaji!"

"Pineapple and honey aromas burst from the glass and are joined by sweeter notes of dried apricot and orange blossom. This medium amber-colored wine offers flavors of orange marmalade, apricot tart, honeycomb, rose petal, nutmeg and marzipan. Beautifully textured, with vibrant acidity that matches its high level of sweetness. Drink in 2043.

Oremus - Tokaji Aszu 3 puttonyos 2017 (50cl)

"Introduction to the Aszú wines of Oremus, a 3 puttonyos made in the purest tradition and judged very gastronomic by James Suckling!"

"Attractive aromas of dried apricot, dried mango, ripe starfruit, walnut, melon skin and crème brûlée. Medium-bodied, fresh and crisp, with medium sweetness that's almost invisible behind the lively acidity and chalky minerality. Delicious fruit. Very gastronomic. Drink and enjoy now. (James Suckling 2023)

Oremus - Tokaji Late Harvest 2020 (50cl)

"This late harvest opens the domaine's sweet range: magnificent balance between sugar, fruitiness, and vibrancy: high mastery!"

"Amber in the glass, this late-harvest Hungarian wine presents aromas of acacia honey, beeswax, honeycomb and apricot. On the palate, it offers flavors of apricot, yellow peach, caramelized pineapple, rose petal and white peach. It is well-structured on the palate, with a final note of caramelized ginger." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)

Oremus - Tokaji Furmint Mandolas 2021 (sec)

"Taste a piece of history with the 100% Furmint cuvée from Domaine Oremus, the very first Tokaj vineyard to produce great whites!"

"It's dry and flinty, with waxed lemons, apple slices, cream and beeswax. Medium- to full-bodied, it's crisp and stable, with lively acidity running through it, yet showing ripe fruit and creaminess. Lingering finish. Drink now. (James Suckling 2023)

Vega Sicilia - Ribera del Duero Unico Reserva Especial 2024

"Made from a blend of three sublime Unico vintages: 2010, 2011, 2012, this emblematic Vega Sicilia cuvée embodies the ancestral Spanish tradition that makes this bottle unique, and extraordinarily complex!"

" NV Único Reserva Especial 2024 has been produced from a blend of wines from 2010, 2011 and 2012, which is not too far removed from the previous version, which came from 2009, 2011 and 2012, as the company is slowly trying to increase the average age of the wine. As I've noticed in recent years, they're looking for an old-fashioned house style, combining more developed characteristics with elegance and freshness. [...] The color shows a certain evolution, with a slight orange hue around the rim. The nose is complex and elegant, a more developed version of the 2014 Único I tasted alongside, with aromas of truffle, forest floor, ripe black fruit, sweet spices, leather and meat. The palate seems utterly polished, with a superb texture, smooth and elegant, with very fine tannins, subtle bitterness and a long, lingering taste. This is a superb blending exercise. 2024-2035" (Wine Advocate 2024) - Wooden case delivery available for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Vega Sicilia - Ribera del Duero Unico 2014

"This cuvée is one of the longest aged in the world: 10 years of waiting for one of the estate's best vintages, according to the Wine Advocate!

" [...] the wine is aged for 10 years between the oak and the bottle. It's a vintage that combines power and elegance; it's concentrated yet subtle. I had the unique opportunity to taste it in magnum a year ago and was really impressed. This tasting was a continuation of those sensations. 2014 was a good vintage in the area, a year with good rainfall and a big harvest, not as powerful as 2012 or 2015 but a year with finesse. The wine seems very balanced, less alcoholic and with integrated oak, crisp, fresh and still young. It's a fairly classic wine, fine-boned, elegant but also powerful, a bit like the Únicos of yesteryear. It's undoubtedly one of the best vintages of recent times. [...] This is one of Único's greatest vintages, and it seems that the years ending in four - 1994, 2004, 2014 (but not 84, which was not produced) - are very good here. We'll have to wait and see about the 2024." (Wine Advocate 2024) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Vega Sicilia - Ribera del Duero Valbuena 5° 2019

"Vega Sicilia's Valbuena is a triumph, according to the Wine Advocate!

"Extremely fragrant with violets and a bouquet of flowers. Then blue fruits like blueberries and raspberries. Medium-bodied, with beautifully crafted tannins that give superb mouthfeel and finesse. Refinement, depth and concentration. Wonderful to drink now, but will be even better in four or five years." (James Suckling 2023) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Vega Sicilia - Ribera del Duero Alion 2020

"According to Vinous, this Ribera del Duero represents Vega Sicilia's modern approach to this prestigious appellation.

"This red shows finesse and refinement with aromas of blackberry, black olive, iron and baked earth. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins and a savory finish. It will mellow nicely with time." (James Suckling 2023) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Vega Sicilia - Toro Pintia 2019

"Set off for the Castilla y León region and Vega Sicilia's unique cuvée in the Toro appellation: a complex Tempranillo with deliciously floral flavors".

"The wine released in 2024 is Pintia 2019, from a very dry year when vinification was gentler and 15% stainless steel was used for aging to retain fruit and freshness. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats. This is a powerful vintage; the wine is 15% alcohol, round and full-bodied. It's a heady, ripe Pintia. We had to be careful with the timing of the harvest, which was early and fairly rapid. Although the wine is ripe and heady, with notes of grenadine and small ripe berries, it's also exotic and spicy, quite showy, lush and full-bodied, with 2019 tannins. This is a more powerful wine that will require patience." (Wine Advocate 2024) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild - Rioja Macan Clasico 2019

"A 100% Tempranillo from Vega Sicilia, expressing the very essence of the Álava region!

"The second wine in the Bordeaux sense is the Macán Clásico 2019, a more concentrated and powerful wine from a hotter, drier year that was saved by the 80 liters of rain in the first fortnight of September. It was fermented in stainless steel with 10% of their own yeast, and aged 22% in stainless steel and the rest in new and used oak barrels, mainly French but with around 5% American, and lasted 12 months. The wine has a moderate alcohol content of 14%, soft acidity, good freshness and balance. The year 2019 was dry and hot, and vinification was gentle to avoid overly pronounced tannins. The nose is ripe without excess and the oak is well integrated. The palate is juicy and round, with fine tannins and a velvety texture." (Wine Advocate 2023)

Vega Sicilia & Benjamin de Rothschild - Rioja Macan 2018

"This Rioja de Vega Sicilia is full-bodied and powerful, giving another dimension to the Tempranillo grape!

"A gorgeous, complex nose with creamy spices, cedar, fresh blackberries, red plums, truffles and hints of walnut and mocha. A medium- to full-bodied wine with multidimensional, stone-tight tannins that line the palate, penetrating from entry to finish with a final thud. Give it three years or more to assert itself." (James Suckling 2022) - Delivery in wooden case possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected)

Vega Sicilia - Unico Reserva Especial (2019)

"As I've noticed in recent years, the non-vintage blend of Único Reserva Especial (2019 vintage) is made with younger vintages than those usually used. In this case, it's the 2006, 2007 and 2009 vintages and, of course, the latest Único cuvées. It's mainly based on Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and a little Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a slightly longer barrel ageing (the blend was bottled in June 2015, at the same time as the Único 2009); so the 2006 and 2007 bases were in barrels longer. It has a similar character to the 2009, perhaps a little more subtle and elegant but not really more complex with tannins and a fairly fleshy body." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Robert Parker) A confidential and mythical cuvée.
