By Ed H-B on 09/05/2014

Pre-release offer
2013 Bordeaux 29/4 – some fun on the final straight – Chenade, Cruzelles, Léoville Las Cases, Clos Du Marquis, Clos Manou, Beauregard
By David Porter on 29/04/2014
We really really liked Clos du Marquis this year, and Léoville Las Cases was pretty stunning but not really looking a great primeur buy at this level. Beauregard, which showed really well, seems to us a better Pomerol buy than Nénin.
Paleo, Messorio, Scrio 2010 – ‘Fantastico’ New Releases from Le Macchiole
By Charles Lea on 12/03/2014
"Baciato dalla grazia" – "kissed by good fortune" – is how Italians refer to those rare, fortunate individuals who always appear to achieve what they want in life with no effort. The Gambero Rosso tasting of Messorio starts "In three words? Baciato dalla grazia. In one? Fantastico" and goes on to note it at 96/100.
Release of Pol Roger 2004 – a new classic
By Charles Lea on 02/09/2013
Unlike some Champagne houses who rattle out the vintages one to the next – Pol have the strength of mind and the integrity to hang on to theirs until they are really sure that it is at the perfect point to release, allowing for early drinking for the impatient, but always with the class and depth needed for longer-term ageing.
