Bordeaux & Bordeaux Supérieur

Our 2015 own label claret once again punches far above its weight in both price and quality. Loaded with plum and blackcurrant notes, the wine has lovely weight and concentration. Opulent, silky...(read more)

This is classic 2015 - a joyfully full style of Bordeaux. Lovely ripe fruit with great breadth and depth - but this is not sweet. There is a dark edge - more damson and prune than sweet plum. A h...(read more)

56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. Very satisfying Margaux at this level. Really soft fruit - but plenty of it in the nicely concentrated middle - framed with a good level of du...(read more)

Brightly-scented and well-formed defined fruit purity. Not heavy but well done. Energy and richly oaky classicism. Good direction and flow, crunchy texture. If the acidity shines a touch it is on...(read more)
