Refreshing white burgundy with charming citrus and floral notes and fine minerality.

Ca`di Ponti Catarratto, Sicily 2009

Mar-29-2010

 

Amazing value this white, for the price, full-flavoured and well rounded, may be enjoyed as an easy quaffing party wine or with food.

Chateau Gouprie L`Excellence, Pomerol 2004

Mar-25-2010

Chateau Gouprie L'Excellence, Pomerol

A special cuvee exhibiting style and finesse, this is 100% Merlot aged in 100% new oak. Fruity, rich and oaky, good Pomerol.

Chateau Montrose, Grand Cru Classe Saint Estephe 2002

Mar-25-2010

 chateau-montroseHugely complex and exotic Cabernet Sauvignon with dark hues, deep scents and a warming, satisfying mouthfeel. Characterised by its black fruits, typical cigar box spice and forest floor character. There`s a bonfire note there too, adding to the savoury mix. We had it with beef at The Green Room for a special birthday and it was fantastic!  92pts.

Chateau Dubourg, Saint-Emilion 2007

Mar-25-2010

Chateau Dubourg, Saint-Emilion

A wine borne of vineyards with Grand Cru status, the 2007 vintage was declassified by the owner, Benoit, to straightforward Saint-Emilion and the prices accordingly reduced, because this is a vintage for early drinking. So it can be enjoyed now at a good price. Expect a deep colour and an abundance of ripe Merlot fruit.

Zuccardi Serie A Malbec, Mendoza 2008

Mar-12-2010

 

Lots of bright, intense red fruits, medium-body and velvety texture . Lovely wine.

Alpha Zeta Soave 2009

Mar-12-2010

 

Clean and fresh, a popular wine from Verona which cuts nicely through oily fish or creamy pasta. Well made.

Mirabello Pinot Grigio 2010

Mar-12-2010

 

Good Pinot Grigio, light citrus-floral aromas and flavours, crisp and dry, yet rounded, pollished finish.  We sell lots of this wine so clearly I am not the only one who likes it!

Mediterra Toscana, Poggio al Tesoro, Bolgheri IGT 2006

Mar-12-2010

 

Great Tuscan red combining 40% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot grapes. Warming wine with juicy red berries and scrummy spice. Good flavour and structure, I like this a lot.

Brunello di Montalcino, Palazzo Comunale 2004

Mar-12-2010

 

First class expression of the Sangiovese grape by Cantina di Montalcino. Leafy-savoury-autumnal character amid plum and blackberry fruits. Delicious wine. I recommend it with good fillet steak or leg of beef.
