\n\u00a348.95 | \u00a343.95<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘One of the most classic, elegant reds from the Douro Valley I\u2019ve tasted. Reminiscent of a big, full-throttle bordeaux, it\u2019s velvety and smooth, with sophisticated aromas of violet and basketfuls of intense dark fruit.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u00a324.95 | \u00a322.50<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘The Douro has already established a solid reputation for unfortified wines, as well as port, but they\u2019re still not as feted as they deserve to be. This one showcases the touriga nacional grape, also used in port. It will drink well now but also improve over the next few years.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\"2019
\n2019 ARTUKE Rioja<\/strong>
\n\u00a315.50 | \u00a313.95<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘Always one of Rioja\u2019s great bargains, this wonderfully juicy cuv\u00e9e of Tempranillo and 5% Viura from brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel is a classic carbonic maceration style that dates back to the 19th century and was popularised by the so-called \u201ccosecheros\u201d. Showing masses of perfume, it\u2019s a tangy, crunchy, cement-fermented delight that combines perfume with vibrant summer berry fruit. Unwooded Rioja at its individual best.
\nDrinking range: 2021 – 2024
\nRating: 90’<\/em><\/p>\n

\n2015 RIPPON ‘Rippon’ Mature Vine Pinot Noir<\/strong>
\n\u00a339.50 | \u00a334.95<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘Complex nose that initially shouts dark chocolate and then opens up to show ferrous and pure red-berry vibrant aromas, earthy and tar notes (not unlike Barolo!). There\u2019s a density to the palate, with a fine delineated but compressed tannin structure. This is serious, yet young and very tight on this showing. A great balance of purity, texture and seamless integration. Will age for decades.”

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Equally good with chocolate and cheese is the southern French answer to port: the fortified grenache reds of Roussillon. There\u2019s silky-smooth plum black cherry compote in Mas Amiel Vintage Maury 2016 (\u00a315.50, leaandsandeman.co.uk), while the various numbered cask bottlings from Vignerons de Maury\u2019s 1928 Solera are a complex nutty, figgy, fruitcakey, chewy experience like nothing else.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed, Romaneira\u2019s 2017 \u2014 a smouldering, silky, herby, violet and sloe-spiced date-night charmer \u2014 is the best yet from this lavishly rejuvenated estate.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Every bit as thrilling as top-drawer C\u00f4te d\u2019Or white burgundy, this gorgeous barrel fermented and aged chardonnay comes from Coddington, a grower\u2019s vineyard, and was given plenty of TLC in the cellar. What you get is a sweet tobacco and hazelnut toast of a chardonnay that is very hard to beat.’<\/em><\/p>\n
