Cassis and blackberry aromas with a certain softness. The palate is rounded and creamy, with velvety tannins, ripe fruit and a refreshing touch of acidity that creates a balanced whole, as well as delicate spices which evolve on the palate. The finish is long and light as air.

Sourced from the 11ha flagship Martinenga vineyard, 100% Nebbiolo, 6 months in barrique, 12 months in Slovenian oak. An aromatic, red fruit and spice nose with a multi layered palate of savoury wood and fruit.

Bollinger needs no introduction. 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Cardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier with 5-10% of reserve wines included in the blend and a high proportion of the wine coming from Premier and Grand Cru sites. Substantial and complex fruit with a biscuity egde and creamy acidity.

A ripe, open and spicy nose with aromas of wild cherry, plums and dried herbs. Firm, ripe tannins with flavours of bitter cherry, spice and tarry, liquorice notes. The finish is complex and long, further opening to reveal dried orange peel, and ripe red fruit characters backed by a hint of mocha.

Chateau Angludet is owned and run by the Sichel family. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. From the highly regarded 2010 vintage which is starting to drink but will benefit from cellaring. A wine with power, balance and style. A wonderful buy. Drink 2018-2040.

Les Caxetiers is a Premier Cru vineyard based in Gevrey-Chambertin that produces exceptional Pinot Noir. Another top wine from the great Vallet-Freres!

The wines were appealing from the start, with ripe fleshy fruit concealing the underlying tannic grip that will enable these wines to stand the test of time. Classic vintage, superlative structure, great wines

A fabulous year for vintage Ports and Graham 1983 is a perfect example of this quality. Rich and powerful showing all of Grahams. Drink over the next 10-12 years.
