Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Much more smoky, gravelly aromatics, almost heading to iodine and crushed oyster shells. Coriander seed, juniper and then pencil shavings and graphite. A note of peat. This is way more introvert and yet with air there are dark berry and floral notes emerging. The palate is a picture of suave reserve, impeccable tannins that coat the tongue with fine powdery grip, dark Valrhona chocolate and a slick of smooth river pebbles. Very debonair, very poised, slightly less charming than Carruades today, but more complex. The finish has coal dust and sandalwood and coriander seed dusting dark black berry fruit. Very cabernet, very serious, but also beautifully tailored.

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of upmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

Critic Reviews

Neal Martin,

Vinous

The 2019 Duhart-Milon has a straightforward nose with touches of oxtail infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, quite grippy tannins, nicely balanced with a pleasing off-dry, tobacco-infused finish. I feel that this bottle is not the freshest that I have encountered and so will defer scoring it. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

The Wine Independent

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the 2019 Duhart-Milon is deep purple-black in color. It explodes with notes of baked plums, boysenberries, and warm cassis with a hint of spice cake and potpourri. Medium-bodied, it is elegant and refreshing with plenty of crunchy fruit and a long finish.

Jane Anson,

Inside Bordeaux

A brilliant wine to seek out to showcase how Duhart is being skilfully worked to deepen its flavour profile and beef up its mid palate, and to soften up tannins that can be austere when young. Here you find a tenderness and a velvety quality to the structure, along with cool blue and black fruits. Still unmistakably Pauillac, majoring on cassis, pencil lead and cedar wood, all standing to attention and confident of giving you many years of service. Very good quality, delivering on its En Primeur promise.
