Colour: Dark ruby Nose: rich nose of ripe

...

Limited stock. The wine is clear or pale with hints of green typical to the Chardonnay. The mousse is fine & regular with a pretty ribbon of strong bubbles. The nose: The first nose is both flowery & fruity, then comes notes of fresh nuts & fresh bread. In the finish: Citrus which brings a beautiful impression of smoothness & freshness. Mouth feel: The attack is frank, associated with delicacy & roundness. The first impression is dominated with fresh white fruits (Lemon, Pear) & with flowers (Acacia), followed by creamy notes. The finally is persistent on the citrus (candied grapefruit, tangerine & lemon) & minerality, bringing freshness & elegance to the wine. ...

Described in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2006 as A big, sweet, chunky, gawky, grainlashed but hugely enjoyable blend. Pigs Nose is an exceptionally fine five year old blended whisky, created by Richard Patterson, Scotland's only third generation master blender as a companion for Sheep Dip
- for week days but not for the Christmas Cake. The blend contains a high percentage (40%) of malt whiskies, principally from Speyside imbuing the product with their characteristic softness; the name comes from the farming expression soft as a pig's nose.

Colour: Rich, golden copper highlights. Nose: Delicate & refined. Soft sensual floral notes arise in perfect harmony supported by an attractive array of complex fruit flavours. Melon, pear & orange with a hint of almonds conclude this profusion of charming nuances. Taste: Finesse & elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from the four distilling regions of Scotl&. Each area forges & makes its own inimitable contribution to this outstanding pure malt
- the main accent being expressed from the Highlands & Speyside Valleys.

Pike Creek is matured in a warehouse in Pine Creek, Ontrario, Canada, which is non climate-controlled, with no electricity in an erratic northern weather system which has dramatic seasonal swings in temperature, where the barrels shrink in the coldest of winters, & swell during the hot summer months. Full & robust in body with a complex nose of dried fruits with underlying peppery spice & subtle toffee notes. A pleasant, warm & smooth port finish. Finished in vintage port barrels. ...

Deep red – in colour with aromas of super ripe blueberry, plum & blackberry Shiraz fruit with some dark chocolate & licorice notes as well. These are all complimented nicely by a touch of charry French oak somewhere in the mix. The palate is soft & powerful with flavours of blueberry, plum & charry oak overlaying a core of dark chocolate running through the mid palate. Silky tannins on the finish adds length & a little structure to the ripe, plush fruit. A lovely example of Clare Valley Shiraz. No problem in enjoying this as a youthful wine, but as usual 4-7+ years will see some development occur in the wine & amply repay those like more complex aged characters in their reds. ...

Medium density, bright red Aromas, typically dark cherry/blueberry fruit & just a hint of dried herbs. Some subtle oak aromas deliver an enticing amalgam of aromas. Again this is absolutely typical of this noble Tuscan variety. Medium weight cherry & blueberry fruit – quite juicy, nicely balanced by savoury tannins & good acid that forms a structure that could only point towards the Sangiovese grape. A variety that really does need food to show its best. Anything from pizza & pasta to grilled meats will work. No problem to keep for 3-5 years in the cellar. ...
