"A pale and delicate light dry Sherry that is light in color. Commonly served cold as an aperitif, many consider this Spanish wine to be the world's finest Sherry. Finos are excellent when young. "~ Winery notes

94 pts. Wine Enthusiast The producer jokingly calls it “Bone White Boissiere,” but it's indeed bracingly dry, with mouthwatering acidity. The aroma has a faint earthiness but no sweetness to it, while the palate adds mild pear and elderflower, finishing with just a squeak of citrus. Sip with a curl of lemon peel, or substitute it for dry Sherry in food pairings or cocktails.

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The NV Rainwater Medium Dry is an attractive wine, displaying aromas of fresh walnuts, dates and orange peel. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny textured and delicately sweet, with succulent acids, excellent definition and an elegantly middle-weight, drinkable profile that's true to the category.

Flavor Profile: Mildly sweet, pleasantly bitter, and overflowing with herbs and orange. Add a splash to your Negroni, Prosecco, or club soda with a twist of orange. The Aperitivo Cappelletti, endearingly known to locals as just “Specialino”, may be the oldest style of the classic red bitter still in production. Unlike its larger commercial rivals, Cappelletti is less sweet and has a wonderful...

This LBV has a very mature, nutty character with mulchy black fruits. It has good intensity of flavour considering it is now 25 years old, although the alcohol does stick out on the finish. An interesting wine for drinking now and over the next year.

Wine & Spirits - 90 pts. This sweet wine shows fresh, rich black cherry and cassis aromas. On the palate, it has a well-knit structure, with a velvety, luscious mouthfeel and smooth tannins.

producer notes - Cocchi Rosa name reminds us that it’s produced with red wines, from which it derives its colour and wild rose notes. Refined with natural extracts of flowers and spices, in particular gentian, cinchona and citrus as per the Americano Bianco but with the addition of saffron, vanilla and rose petals. Its beautiful red colour is completely natural and derives from the wine.

Tasting note: Pretty pale salmon pink appearance. Enticing aroma includes notes of rose water, plum and ripe cherry / strawberry along side hints of ripe grapefruit. A clean, fresh delivery offers a light to medium bodied palate of plum and cherry flavours supported by soft, cleansing acidity. Cherry glace finish is delightfully fresh and deceptively long as hints of rose petal emerge late in the...

Lillet Rouge is made from the same blend of wines as Lillet Rosé (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes) combined with the fruit liqueurs and cinchona bark. It has notes of ripe dark fruits and tannins which give it a mild bitterness similar to Italian-style aperitifs and its more robust character.

90 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Bottled in 2015, Non Vintage Verdelho 10 Year Old has a delineated, vivacious bouquet with dried quince, orange peel and a touch of sea water, perhaps demonstrating wider appeal than its uncompromising Sercial counterpart.

The rich flavors are hard to pin down: cocoa, red wine, almonds, bitter marmelade, hints of spice and toffee all play across the palate, finishing with a bracing bitter edge. This delectable sweet vermouth would shine in a...

Decanter 40 year old tawny is always lovely to drink, as the constituent wines have spent so long in oak barrels that the water content has partially evaporated, concentrating the flavours. This has developed a lovely intense palate with flavours of caramelised nuts and burnt orange rind. There is a high level of acidity which...
