The May Classics Collection is a cornucopia of spectacular wines that are sure to please everyone from the novice wine lover right up to the collector looking to add to their cellar. Worthy of mention is a big selection of Burgundies from the critically acclaimed 2005 vintage. Burgundy was not the only home of exceptional wine in 2005, so was the Rhône Valley. Included in the Rhône wine portfolio is Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the ‘chart-topper’ on Wine Spectator’s ‘Top 100 Wines’ list of 2007. But that’s not all! A selection of maturing Bordeaux wines from famed producers from both the Left and Right Bank are also on offer. With Riesling finally getting its well-deserved renaissance, look for an impressive lineup of Auslese and Beerenauslese wines from respected German producers and fine vintages. Spain is also well represented with a mini-vertical from Miguel Torres’ Mas La Plana.

The New World is certainly not without its blessings with a great crop from Australia, including wines from Clarendon Hills and Two Hands as well as a special six-bottle offer from Shiraz specialist, Kilikanoon. Across the Pond, Chimney Rock, Viader, Rubicon and Au Bon Climat are but a few of the standard-bearers for California. For the Port fan, Taylor Fladgate headlines with bottlings from 1985 and 2000. And lest the Scotch aficionado feel forgotten, there’s a unique 30-year-old blended Scotch from Ballantine’s. For the unabridged list of treasures, you’ll just have to peruse the pages ahead.
