2018 LA 50\/50 Domaine Anne Gros et Jean-Paul Tollot<\/strong>
\n\u00a318.75 | \u00a316.95<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘C\u00f4tes du Brian sounds like something out of Monty Python, but this is a serious red from the Minervois made by two acclaimed Burgundian winemakers and with an almost amarone-type richness. Needs decanting, and drinking with a big, beefy stew \u2013 ox cheek would be perfect.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u00a331.95 | \u00a330.25<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘Aside from bull\u2019s blood, the most celebrated and historic Hungarian wine style is tokaji, the luscious, unctuous, glowing-amber sweet wines from the Tokaj region in the hills of the country\u2019s northeast towards Slovakia. It\u2019s the balance of flavours such as barley sugar, orange marmalade and caramelised stone and tropical fruit with an enormous dose of (naturally occurring) sugar and an electric jolt of bright acidity that makes good sweet tokaji such as Diszn\u00f3k\u0151 Tokaji Asz\u00fa 5 Puttonyos 2011 so compelling.’<\/em><\/p>\n

2019 BUGALUGS Barossa Shiraz Tim Smith Wines<\/strong>
\n\u00a318.95 | \u00a316.95<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nReview: <\/strong>‘If you think Barossa Shiraz is all about power and intensity, this wine from Tim Smith will come as a welcome surprise. Graceful, elegant and refined, it\u2019s deceptively forward and easy to drink with the faintest touch of oak, fine-grained tannins, bramble and red berry fruit and impressive poise and precision. You could tuck some away for a few years and it will reward patience. There\u2019s still some of the very good 2019 on the market, but wait for the 2020 if you can.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Aficionados often get excited by \u201cen rama\u201d, or \u201craw\u201d sherries, which are bottled unfiltered straight from the cask. These tend to display greater intensity and complexity than filtered fino, and here you\u2019ll find savoury, briny olive notes with a lovely dry finish.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\nReview: <\/strong>‘Lea and Sandeman have long been renowned for finding some of the most interesting producers in Italy, and here we have another example. Beautifully expressive and generous, this wine bursts with brilliantly vibrant cherry fruit and finishes with that satisfying Chianti bite. Wild Tuscan herbs intermingle with notes of dark bitter chocolate, fleshy but controlled; the overall impression is one of racy excitement..’<\/em><\/p>\n
