Nose: A ridge of vanilla leads to a mountain of peat capped with citrus fruits and circled by clouds of sea spray. Palate: Sweet vanilla counterbalanced with lemon and lime followed by that surging Ardbeg smoke that we all know and love. Finish: Long and glorious; sea salted caramel and beach bonfire smoke. Overall: Precise balance, big smoke and non-chill filtered. This is why this is such a famous dram

Nose: The undiluted nose is deep and rounded chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil. With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smoky sweetness of a well-fired fruit pudding. Taste: Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouthfeel. The flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives. Finish: Again long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint

Lagavulin is a classic example of how smoke isn't a blunt instrument that covers everything in a fog, but an element that works with all the flavours produced in distillation and maturation. Lagavulin isn't 'smokey,' its peat moves into a weird territory of Lapsang Souchong tea and pipe tobacco, fishboxes and kippers. It smells of laurel and light cereal, but is always sweet. The palate shows more creosote, with hints of kelp and a little touch of iodine. Complex

This is the new no-age-statement Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the famous Speyside distillery of Macallan. Macallan's new range has done away with age-statements and instead focuses on the colour of the whisky. The concept being that the older the whisky is the darker it will be. This burnished gold spirit presents a lemon citrus nose, the orange peel and an interlacing sweetness that softens but doesn't eliminate the zest. A quiet note of vanilla is followed by dark chocolate - more assertive, yet not overly so - with a lingering floral and light oak notes. Citrus and boiled sweets rule the palate, along with hints of ginger and cinnamon, while soft oak tones reveal toasted apples. The finish is medium sweet, malty and slightly dry

An exciting new age statement expression from Macallan that's matured in a combination of American and European Sherry oak for a minimum of 12 years. Here, the proportion of American oak ex-Sherry casks is higher than in the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak, but no ex-bourbon casks are used as they are in the 12 Year Old Fine Oak release

The Macallan Triple Cask Matured 15 Years Old forms part of our Triple Cask Matured range; a series of single malt whiskies crafted in a triple cask combination of European and American sherry seasoned oak casks and American ex-bourbon oak casks.

Subsequent sips reward you with more hidden secrets like kumquats, wispy aromatic smoke, sandalwood, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Finish: A rich and uniquely long and satisfying finish of smoke and pepper, ending with a glorious touch of spice

Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. ABV: 13%. Castello Banfi's 2014 Brunello di Montalcino denotes riper and softer fruit than most of its peers in this vintage. This historic estate is located in the southern quadrant of the appellation, where temperatures are a few degrees warmer on average. You don't always taste that difference in ripeness, but for some reason, it comes forward with increased intensity in 2014. Therefore, I am officially recommending this wine to all those Brunello lovers who appreciate a little more volume and softness on those proverbial love handles

ABV: 14.5%. Founded in 1890, La Rioja Alta is arguably the traditional Rioja bodega whose entire range of wines is the most consistent, the most readily available, and the most delicious. Their "904" bottling contains Tempranillo and Graciano (no Garnacha) and is every bit as traditional. It sees aging in used American oak barrels for 48 months, racking twice a year, and then further aging in bottle. The wine always has a sumptuous, velvety texture, with more bass notes in place of Ardanza's higher toned, red-fruited profile. Does Gran Reserva Rioja get any better than this?

Appellation: Toscana IGT. ABV: 14.5%. The 2013 Flaccianello della Pieve is a commanding wine and a strong protagonist of both the vintage and its territory. Connoisseurs of Sangiovese will be hard pressed to find a wine more authentic, elegant, complex and pristine than this. I am a huge fan of the 2013 vintage in Chianti Classico and the Flaccianello della Pieva is one big reason for this love affair. The bouquet is gorgeous and delineated with wild berry, tangy spice, crushed mineral and forest flower. Yet, the wine's color is dark, brooding and austere.

Appellation: Yountville. The 2014s, where the production of Napanook was only 2,200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4,000 cases, was another early harvest, although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus, which is 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 Cabernet Franc and 7 Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix's belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf , spice box and licorice.

In 1987, Borgo del Tiglio expanded their vineyards with a purchase of some land in a nearby valley and one of the grapes planted was Chardonnay; this was the only variety that produced wine of the quality aimed for and shortly after most of the other varieties were replaced by Chardonnay vines.

The wine has a bouquet reminiscent of melted butter and vanilla cream over tropical fruit nuances, beautifully structured and balanced. The finish is graced with minerality and baking spice

He went on to found Grgich Hills, and now works with his nephew Ivo Jeramaz, who farms the winery's estate vineyard in Carneros organically, and barrel ferments this wine without added yeast. The 2015 is exotic, with scents of Asian pear, orange oil and cherimoya pointed up by honeyed spice. Jeramaz finds that honeyed character is tied to the maturity of the vines in the Carneros vineyard, planted to a mix of heritage clones. It feels cool and spicy, the structure underlined by oak, with the dynamism of the fruit persisting in a tangy finish

ABV: 14%. From a renowned producer of the Rhône valley, La Tournée is a typical bistro wine made of Vermentino and Viognier grown in the warm and sunny Languedoc.

The finish is a mix of smoke with a lick of sweet balsamic

These are early days for this label, but Naramata Ranch, first planted in 2008 with several blocks added at different elevations and expositions, has become a wonderland of meso-climates for BC pinot noir. Mid-valley temperatures are just warm enough to invite the richer style of New World pinot noir while the it remains cool enough to be somewhat spare in style too.

A handful of barrels of cabernet franc and merlot gleaned from Desert Valley Vineyard is the source for this dark and brooding red. What looks big and weighty is in fact super fresh and linear: where a little California and a little northern Italy meets a lot of Okanagan.

This 100 acre vineyard was planted in 1999 at the northern tip of the Osoyoos Bench. Planted to clones 99 and 100, this south facing vineyard site is a theoretical combination of the Santa Ynez Valley and St. Joseph in the style of wines that have emerged from it. Sustainably farmed, this vintage was cropped at 3 tons per acre. All destemmed after gentle sorting at the winery, this wine was fermented slowly at 25 degrees Celsius to fully maximize extraction of the abundantly ripe fruit. After fermentation was complete, the wine was finished in a mix of new and older French oak (50/50) for 16 months. This vintage has an incredible mixture of concentration and elegance.

In order to achieve this balance Sokol Blosser combines a couple of key distinctive winemaking techniques. They increase structure and complexity in the mouth feel through a lengthy post-fermentation maceration making up about 70 of this blend. To retain the pureness of the Pinot Noir fruit characters expressed early in fermentation, the other 30 has limited skin contact by removing the wine from the skins immediately following fermentation.

Wild, bright, bold perfume of sweet berry fruit and spice, faint herbs, graphite, sea spray and Chinese five spice.

On the palate, it is balanced with a soft touch of acidity to give it good potential for cellaring. The attack is broad and long, with an evolution in the mouth which spreads silky and mineral sensations before concluding with sweet tannins which stilll have a lot of grip and will benefit from some time out for their full integration

ABV: 13%. "2014 is a better vintage in Ribera del Duero than in Rioja, and the 2014 Alión shows it. Sourced from 130 hectares of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) in Ribera del Duero and possibly the most modern of the Vega Sicilia Group wines, it's silky, voluptuous, jammy, ripe and generous without being too much. The grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts in oak vats, and the wine matured in new and second use French barrels for 12 to 14 months. It's quite ripe and powerful, yet balanced and with great freshness. The palate is medium to full-bodied with lots of fruit, juicy and showy"

ABV: 15%. The wine tastes like chocolate-covered cherries, with an underpinning of saddle leather and spice. Rich and extracted.

Appellation: Pauillac. ABV: 14%. Firstly, simply labelled as Famille J-M Cazes Pauillac, it isn't immediately apparent that this is the third wine of Château Lynch-Bages. First created in 2009, it's made entirely from fruit grown on the young vines of the prestigious property. Secondly, it doesn't explain what a phenomenal vintage 2015 was. Respected critic and Master of Wine Jeannie Cho Lee went as far as to "compare it to 2005 and 2009 in quality", Decanter Magazine noted that "several châteaux have arguably made the best ever wines", and Steven Spurrier announced that "Bordeaux is back." So wines from top properties such as Lynch-Bages are not to be missed. A wonderful introduction to the property, this displays all the classic Pauillac character, but in a smooth early drinking style. Cassis, plums, cherry liqueur chocolates, star anise, leather and cedar; if this is the third wine, you'll soon be itching to try the first. Pauillac Château Lynch-Bages offers a quality to price ratio that's seriously hard to beat. Don't be fooled by its Cinquième Grand Cru Classé status, as Jancis Robinson notes: "If any château's positioning in the… 1855 classification highlights just quite how outdated it is then Lynch-Bages… would be the one. Rated a 5th growth in 1855, it has been for the last few decades a definite Super Second"

Pure and clean on the palate, this solid wine is medium-bodied and offers liquorice, herbs, black cherry and blackcurrant notes, as well as floral aromas. Moderately robust, the 2010 Chateau Vray Croix de Gay carries light tannins on a relatively long finish. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Appellation: Margaux. ABV: 14.6%. This is sensational, characterized by such purity and beauty and with aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, walnuts, cedar and lavender.

Appellation: Saint Emilion. ABV: 14.5%. Dense purple to the rim, with a superb bouquet of acacia flowers, blueberries, black currants, and crushed rocks, the wine's oak component is completely obscured by the wealth of fruit and overall rich, concentrated style. The average age of the vines is over 100 years. Sadly, production is limited to a mere 350 cases. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Appellation: Margaux. ABV: 14%. Deep purple color with black reflections The nose literally explodes on notes of great complexity combining morello cherry and macerated prune, oriental spices, sandalwood, incense, leather, cedar, peppermint, violet, blond tobacco with honey. The fruit is so opulent that the richness in the nose is answered by opulence in the mouth, structured by sumptuous tannins allied to sovereign freshness.

Appellation: Pauillac. ABV: 13.5%. The 2005 Mouton Rothschild has a sensational nose of crème de cassis and incense as well as a touch of lead pencil shavings and forest floor.

Appellation: Beaune AOP. ABV: 14%. The 2015 Beaune Premier Cru Les Boucherottes has a subtle bouquet that comes across more introspective than the 2015 Beaune Clos des Couchereaux, the fruit darker but equally well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, tensile tannin - plenty of tart red cherry fruit, quite saline in the mouth leading to an understated but very focused finish.

A feeling of youth and freshness emerges. The aromas given by the ageing in oak are still visible, with hints of spices and roasting, but they will be soon integrated into the wine and will make it really complex. A wine with a great cellaring potential and with an impressing aromatic expression

Appellation: Chateauneuf du Pape. ABV: 15%. Offers a chewy feel, but manages to stay velvety and lush overall despite the muscular layers of braised fig, melted licorice snap, blackberry coulis and fig paste.

Full-bodied, rich and velvety yet ethereal at the same time, this incredibly long wine should prove to be a legend. Knowing the extensive tasting that was in store for me at this address, I scheduled an entire morning to go through the firm's offerings. The company's wines undergo unusually long élevages, which means there are always multiple vintages of each wine to taste. It does provide an ideal snapshot of the various appellations/vintages.

The big news here is the acquisition of Domaine de Nalys in Châteauneuf du Pape, which immediately becomes a property to watch

Appellation: Bolgheri DOC. ABV: 14%. The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso is mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.

Appellation: Toscana IGT. ABV: 14%. Caiarossa is a tremendous wine. The bouquet is rich and compelling with deep layers of dark fruit, spice and chocolate. Given the complexity of the blend, it's hard to identify any single variety although the softness of Merlot and the structure of the two Cabernet grapes definitely comes through in the mouth. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot

Appellation: Maremma DOC. ABV: 14%. Nectar Dei, our super-premium wine, was christened after the ancient name of the Nittardi estate discovered in a document from 1183. As is the tradition of Nittardi, the first bottles of this new wine were presented to Pope Benedict XVI just as Michelangelo Buonarroti did in the 16th century when he, the owner of the estate at the time, paid tribute to the popes Julius II and Leo X by presenting them with, to use Michelangelo's own words, the genuine wine of Nittardi.

Tight, layered red. All there. Better in 2017". WS94: Wine Spectator - "A firm, linear red, featuring black cherry, black currant, leather, tobacco and tar notes on a dense frame. This persistent version builds to a long fruit-, spice- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Combines power and finesse, and should age beautifully. Sangiovese. Best from 2017 through 2027"

Appellation: Bolgheri DOC. ABV: 14.5%. The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Magari is a dark, rich and exuberant wine that so faithfully reflects that unique Gaja signature. There's nothing not to love here.

Connoisseurs of Sangiovese will be hard pressed to find a wine more authentic, elegant, complex and pristine than this. The bouquet is gorgeous and delineated with wild berry, tangy spice, crushed mineral and forest flower. Yet, the wine's color is dark, brooding and austere. The wine offers exuberance and energy in the mouth, thanks to its balanced acidity and seemingly never-ending finish

Appellation: Toscana IGT. ABV: 13.5%. Another stunning wine, the 2015 Tenuta di Trinoro wraps around the palate with stunning depth and power. Today, the flavors are incredibly primary, but it is the wine's textural depth and nuance that impress. The 2015 boasts tremendous concentration, but there are no hard edges, just pure fruit and voluptuousness to burn

Appellation: Bolgheri DOC. ABV: 14.5%. 2016 is one of the best vintages ever in Bolgheri, classic in style and balanced. It has a 'great sense of the classics without denying the past, a fully-fledged, more modern wine,' according to Axel Heinz. Crimson and dense in colour, it's full of restrained, brambly fresh fruit, clove, nutmeg and a salty butteriness, combined with velvety, masked tannins on the palate.
