Classic stuff, probably been brewing this same recipe for centuries. Smells & tastes like it would be heavy, but it goes down easy and is surprisingly light on its feet. Lightly malty, no frills old school Ale — 4 months ago

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This estate owes its name to Connetable Talbot, the English general & governor of the province of Guyenne who was defeated at the famous Battle of Castillon in 1453. Deep Ruby, purple hues, with aromas of black fruits, herb, tobacco and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of plums and black currants with cacao and tobacco spice, on a well balanced frame. Fine tight tannins, long finish ending with fruit, earthy spice and cedar character. Nice! — 2 months ago

Rich and multi-layered, this English sparkling shows all the hallmarks of the finest NV champagne with toasted brioche, baked apple and lemon zest cut along a lean, energetic profile that’s incredibly enjoyable. Medium bodied with moderate acidity, it finishes long and benefits from some time in the glass. Should age quite nicely for the next few years. Excellent stuff. — 4 years ago

I was on set for several rather emotionally and physically grueling action packed shooting so I deserved a little treat and by little treat mean a bottle of bubbles (and a session of smushing my face into my cat). This British bubbly is rich (riper than I’d imagine from that extra-cool climate) but also refreshing and zingy—beyond all the oxidative appley nutty notes is a punch of sweet citrus that is quite beguiling. A touch of quality white bread on the nose too. It keeps giving. — 2 months ago

Outstanding balance. Classic burgundy. Black cherry, bramble, mushroom, trace of barnyard, medium body, long finish. Well done Nicholas. — 4 years ago

Waitrose. Delightful English white. Melon and peach, grassy and zesty freshness to it, slight acidity to cut through things but without lingering. — 4 years ago
