Morgenhof
Stellenbosch Merlot 2011
Lovely dark berries and sweet spice from oak. If this was a claret, it would be twice the price #morgenhof #merlot #2011 #wine — 10 years ago
La Loba
Matanza de Soria Vineyard Tempranillo
Fabulous Example of Ribera del Duero. Intense nose bursting with dark berry fruit and sensuous aromas of vanilla and cedar from oak. Palate rich and finally balanced, tannins gripping. Has long life ahead, but a pleasure to drink now, especially with cured meats and pinchos. — 10 years ago

Beata had this 9 years ago
Bodegas Muga
Rioja Barrel Fermented Viura Blend
Pineapple, melon and green apples nose. Zingy and citrusy with good body and length. Very fine indeed. — 9 years ago
Àlvaro Castro
Quinta de Saes Reserva Estágio Prolongado Dão Red Blend 2012
Pure bright juicy berry fruit nose with a hint of sweet spice. Finely balanced palate with enough acidity and tannins to take on a chunky piece of meat. The adventurous should try it with fish - would be a great match for cod & chorizo stew. Fine quality wine. — 10 years ago
Maison Trenel
Juliénas Gamay
Nose indicating natural wine making. Bags of fruit, good balance and nice clean finish. A decent bottle of Beaujolais — 10 years ago
Tomàs Cusiné
Vilosell Costers del Segre Tempranillo Blend
Very well made blend of Tempranillo - Syrah. Full bodied with dark berries, hints of chocolate and lots of sweet spice. Rather tannic, so needs food. — 9 years ago
Stefano Bartoli
The Society's Exhibition Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2013
Great wine at great price. Unmistakably Italian with bright cherry fruit and refreshing acidity. Look no further. — 9 years ago
Canalicchio di Sopra
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012
Bright red fruit on the nose, clean palate with a typical italian high acidity. Not too complex, but beautifully complemented our meal of veal, rib eye and potato dauphinoise — 10 years ago
Beata Wilks
Very surprised by the good reviews - this wine has far too much sugar on the finish - yes, it's made from dried grapes, but so is Amarone, which most of the time manages to keep the balance right. Nose is ok, I'd say quite nice even, but it all gets negated by that far sugary finish. Maybe that's intentional and just not my style. Perhaps it should be drunk with dessert or cheese. — 9 years ago
