Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A touch more floral initially, then dark fruits interwoven with fine minerality, lyrical, delicate yet with a fabulous energy that leaves a fine note of salt and dark plum on the finish. Lovely sweet caressing tannins carry this long on the finish as it hovers, mid-palate. Lovely detail and lift here that lead to a sappy stony nuanced finale. An 0.3ha parcel of pure “Alterite” – eroded volcanic rock.

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of utmost 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

Josh Raynolds,

Vinous

Limpid ruby-red. Blackberry, cherry and baking spice aromas are complemented by tea rose, savory herb and cola flourishes. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed dark fruit, bitter chocolate and spicecake flavors that deepen slowly and turn sweeter through the mid-palate. Shows repeating spiciness on an impressively long, floral-driven finish that's given shape by fine-grained, steadily building tannins.

This is one of Rose & Arrow's "villages" wines. Fruit is sourced from a vineyard planted on finely eroded volcanic rock at 540 feet in elevation. Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Yamhill Close is scented of red currants, red and black cherries and dried blackberries over an earthy/minerally core: dried leaves, mushroom and turned earth with touches of dried floral perfume and crushed rock. Medium-bodied, it has good presence in the mouththeres a nice interplay here of soft texture with tannic bonesfleshed out by red and black fruit layers, spices and earth. It has great juicy acidity and a long finish. 123 cases produced.
