Hennessy "Very Special' Cognac

2007 Bonnefond Cote Rotie

"Youthful purple color. Sexy Asian spice and red berry aromas are complicated by smoked meat and incense. Darker berries are on display in the mouth, along with hints of black olive and sweet chewing tobacco. Finishes with good grip and a jolt of refreshingly bitter cherry pit. This is already beginning to show some complexity."88-91 Tanzer

2004 La Poderina Brunello di Montalcino

We've managed to hold of some more of the fabulous 2004 vintage- now with 6 yrs bottle age its a gem that will keep age magnificently. "The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino presents a remarkable balance of ripe fruit, structure and freshness. Violets, dark cherries, new leather and spices are all woven together in an elegant fabric of notable class. The purity of the fruit is superb and the finish boasts tons of finesse, with silky tannins that frame the close." 93/100 Parker. "Blackberries and black cherries on the nose follow through to a full body,with soft and silky tannins.Long finish." 93/100 Wine Spectator

2008 Kumeu River Hunting Hill Chardonnay

The third release for this single vineyard wine. Hunting Hill is a vineyard that was first planted in 1982 and was a significant part of the original Kumeu River Chardonnay blend. Occupying the slope overlooking Mate's Vineyard, it has always contributed lovely ripe and rich fruit to the Estate Chardonnay. After being replanted in 2000, Hunting Hill shows beautifully ripe fruit with a distinctive mealy minerality. The Chardonnay from Hunting Hill shares some of the characters with the neighbouring Mate's Vineyard with its distinctive floral notes and restrained elegance. This site has a particularly pure character that, in its youth, displays a tight and crisp palate which needs some bottle age to reveal the power and concentration that lies beneath the surface. As with Mate's Vineyard, this wine will improve with bottle age for 4 to 6 years and was made in the same way as the other Kumeu River chardonnays.
