From a good vintage and always delivering incredible value for money. Leaf tea, cassis, plum and tobacco aromas are backed by a well balanced palate. Again dark fruited, with some nice tannic str...(more info)

100% Merlot from the Thienpont family of estates. Unwooded, thus retaining some lift and refreshment in the fruit but with just enough scent of cedar to root it firmly in Bordeaux. Lovely easy-dr...(more info)

A little gem of a dessert wine, filled with raisin and marmalade fruit, a whiff of botrytis and then lovely balancing acidity, that leads in to a satisfying creamy finish.

Tasted 'blind' in a line-up of inexpensive champagnes (as well as one Grande Marque) this showed remarkably well, coming out as a clear winner. Bright, light and very fresh, this is an easy drink...(more info)

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot. Nice bright nose, sweet ripe red and black fruit, silky suave attack, a hint of almost honey sweetness in the fruit which is very attractive...(more info)
