Vintage Wine Menu
We recommend these wines to be ordered with the starters and enjoyed with the main course, giving us time to decanter the wine and letting it breath to reach its peak
Barolo (red)
Marchesi di Barolo Cannubi 1982 - Price 140
A very youthful, but deep and profound nose of dried cherries, plums, licorice, coffee, tabacco, truffles, woodsmoke, saddle leather, roses, minerals, and a touch of toasty oak. Huge, tightly-knit, and impeccably-balanced on the palate, with wave after wave of super-ripe fruit, great focus. This is as good as Nebbiolo gets!
Vietti Barolo 1985 - Price 170
Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character. Generally only medium-bodied, the wine possesses rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavours of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.
Vietti Barbaresco 1983 - Price 120
Barbaresco is a wine that shares much with its very close neighbour Barolo. The slightly warmer climate of the Barbaresco, and resulting earlier harvest, makes these wines a touch lighter and less complex, if more elegant and earlier maturing. Profound, deep and multi-facet nose. Ripe sweet prunes, thick chocolate, tabacco and earthy tones - all combine to give a harmonious bouquet.
Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano (red)
Poderi Boscarelli 1985 - Price 70
This bouquet is rich, with savoury leathery accents mingled with some sea salt and some wood smoke. On the palate its full, with rich cherry fruit suported by bright berry fruit acidity and smooth sweet tannins that flow into a warm fresh berry fruit finish.
Amarone (red)
Montresor Recioto Amarone 1993 - Price 120
Dark plum red, the nose was pure mulberry, a little black liquorice and slightly sweet. Full bodied, spicy, not overtly sweet but ripe and well balanced. Long length and highly enjoyable.
Villa Girardi Recioto Amarone 1983 - Price 130
Starts with a hint of spices. Afterwards there is sour cherries, figs and also darker tones of soy, liquorice and black tea. The mouth is sweet but still with a gripping acidity. It has an aromatic sweetness to it and a very nice backbone.
Ca de Rocchi Recioto Amarone 1982 - Price 140
Rich and weighty on both the nose and the palate, this is a wine sturdy enough to withstand a range of brazen foods. Dark black fruits are the main players with this wine, with some liquorice and morello cherries to finish. Long lasting and divine.
Brunello Di Montalcino (red)
Campogiovanni Brunello 1983 - Price 160
Lifted, opulent aromas of berries and chocolate. Lovely, rich and robust. Delicious acidity and balance, will age well - truly superb.
Chablis (white)
Domaine Moreau Chablis 1987 - Price 100
Beautifully mineral on the nose with aromas of milk bread and fresh bread crust. Round and soft on the palate, with pomelos and tropical fruit flavours. A very fine and delicate wine.
