The 2011 Ramos Pinto has a lifted bouquet of black cherries, creme de cassis and licorice that is intense but does not quite have the delineation of some of its peers at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine line of acidity and perhaps more pedigree than the aromatics. There is splendid weight here and an engaging harmonious finish with a sprinkle of white pepper and a little clove. Affording several minutes with this sample, the nose gains clarity with aeration, so I might be inclined to give this decanting before pouring. Tasted May 2013.Inc. GSTSG$241.46 -

Smoky basalt notes and suggestions of quarry dust accompany site-typical evocations of sage and mint on an intensely pungent, penetrating nose. Generous, bright juiciness of lemon and lime, along with sheer extract sweetness, keep this almost painfully concentrated, grippingly stony expression of Pechstein from turning austere or overly severe. And extract also seems to be the source of textural richness beneath what initially seems a very firm feel. Mouthwatering salinity adds to the appeal of a finish vibrantly interactive in its expression of citrus, herb and mineral matter.Inc. GSTSG$699.19 -

The 2019 Brut Rosé is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay and 18% Pinot Meunier, now tasted again after 51 months on lees. Base wines went through full malolactic fermentation. Notes of crunchy red apple carry an overtone of citrus. The palate is sprightly with lively mousse that shows tender smoothness, fine freshness and more of those red apple notes. The finish lingers with just a hint of conifer. Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: June 2025.In BondSG$190.00 -
Falstaff (93)
The nose is a wonderful combination of ripeness and freshness, of crushed, white strawberry and citrus zestiness, wrapped up in creaminess. The palate comes in with briskness that speaks of the estate's customary low dosage, but it sits well with the beautifully sunny from from the ripe 2018 vintage. There is an inherent balance and a beautiful depth of fruit that makes the mid-palate serene, elegant, chalky and taut. Lively bubbles enhance that feeling. There is concentration here and a whole lot of elegance. Lovely and bright now but certain to benefit from further bottle age.In BondSG$236.00 -

Smoky basalt notes and suggestions of quarry dust accompany site-typical evocations of sage and mint on an intensely pungent, penetrating nose. Generous, bright juiciness of lemon and lime, along with sheer extract sweetness, keep this almost painfully concentrated, grippingly stony expression of Pechstein from turning austere or overly severe. And extract also seems to be the source of textural richness beneath what initially seems a very firm feel. Mouthwatering salinity adds to the appeal of a finish vibrantly interactive in its expression of citrus, herb and mineral matter.In BondSG$588.00 -

Hints of toasted wheat vie for attention with concentrated, high-toned green herbs and pungent citrus rinds, resulting in a nose-flaring, eye-watering aromatic display. This comes to the palate no less forcefully than it addresses the nose, featuring zesty lemon and grapefruit, marjoram and oregano, milled grains and black pepper. Firm in feel but with palpable lees buffering, it finishes with downright aggressive grip, its intensity of herbal essences glowing, its citricity cheek-pinching, and its piquancy throat-grabbing.In BondSG$138.00 -
