The Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2015
Vibrant golden colour with a firm nutty bouquet that has a hint of honey. Slightly creamy texture and quite long finish. Slightly honeyed Citrus flavours with clear oak. Quite a robust wine that should be eaten with food - roast / grilled chicken should pair well. — 7 years ago
Mongeard-Mugneret
"Les Plateaux" Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2013
Drinking this 2013 in 2017. Quite a transparent and vibrant red colour with an oaky-blackcurrant bouquet. Fruit forward flavour though somewhat sour cherry; give it another 2 years. — 8 years ago
Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils
Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2011
Bought at cellar door and drinking this 2011 in 2017. Vibrant straw colour with pleasant bouquet of lemon with a twist of honey. A cleansing mouthfeel and precise but not over-powering lemon taste with a medium length finish. Classy not showy, it is an enjoyable wine. — 8 years ago
Charles Heidsieck
Blanc Des Millénaires Chardonnay 1995
Possibly my first taste of a true top end champagne. It was nice - very quaffable, brioche and not the acidity you typically get with a "normal" champagne, so a few glasses slip down. But it certainly wasn't a "wow" wine. Perhaps I am coming to it a little late (drinking in 2017) but it tasted as if it was still full of life. — 7 years ago
Ferdinando Principiano
La Romualda Barbera d'Alba 2011
Very enjoyable - strong bouquet and very quaffable, a perfect accompaniment for pepperoni pizza — 7 years ago
Antonin Rodet
Chateau de Mercey Mercurey Pinot Noir 2011
Antonin rodet 2011 chateau de mercey, mercurey. Bought at cellar door in 2016 and drunk in 2017. Worth noting it is one of the most accommodating cellar doors in burgundy. For one of the entry level wines this is very good value. Buttery colour and some fried butter on the bouquet. Unsurprisingly a lightly buttery taste but with good lemony acidity which makes it refreshing and can cut through oily fish with a nice mouthfeel. For an every day drinking wine this comes highly recommended — 8 years ago

Domaine Le Clos des Cazaux
Cuvée de la Tour Sarrazine Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2011
Drank this in 2017 and it was beautiful - lovely fragrant nose, good fruit and silky tannins - looking at the other comments, this has clearly improved with age. A very pleasant surprise — 7 years ago
Cederberg Cellars (David Nieuwoudt)
Ghost Corner Pinot Noir 2014
Drinking this 2014 in 2017, right at the start of its recommended 3-5 years of ageing. Vibrant light cherry colour with a bouquet that combines raspberries with a hint of undergrowth. Silky mouthfeel with a taste that echoes the nose, with a line of well balanced acidity. — 8 years ago
