2006 vintage. Most excellent Gigondas, still fresh and fruity with cool mouthfeel but good spicy long finish.
Plenty of life ahead of it (not this actual bottle, obviously!). With pot roasted grouse. — 10 years ago
Vegetal, leathery burgundy with quite a lot of density. Wee bit of dark fruit/ smoke left but mostly a earthy secondary flavours thing going on. — 10 years ago
Glorious midweight pinot noir, great length and smoky delicacy. £26 from vino in Edinburgh, which is cracking value for good pinot. — 10 years ago
Full but fresh, cherry and red fruits with decent acidity and a nice sweet basalmic kick on the finish. Not massively long finish but a huge over-achiever for nine quid. — 10 years ago

Primitivo Puglia 2013 "Natale Verga" good robust southern italian red, 7-9 quid from Majestic depending on offers. — 10 years ago

Quite pleasing but to this European palate a bit jammy and lacking spice and depth. — 10 years ago
