Bordeaux

Fleshy and robust, full of ripe black fruit accented with hints of mocha, smoke and toast. Plenty of fine-grained tannins providing prodigious grip and savoury texture. Best with beef.

From a region bordering Saint Émilion this is a plush, super smooth baby-Saint Émilion. Uncork and lap up the silky bramble fruit, delicate mineral streaks and satin tannins.

A medium-bodied claret, with a pleasantly spicy and mature nose, with hints of leather and clove against a backdrop of bramble and dried prune fruit.

The second wine of the renowned 2ème Cru Classé estate, Gruaud Larose, Sarget de Gruaud Larose shows all the hallmarks of the great St-Julien wine at a fraction of the cost.

A nose of fruitcake, spice and ripe, plummy fruit. Soft and rich on the palate, with blackcurrants, plum, and smoky cedarwood. Try with roast beef or goose.

This is a medium-bodied wine with a plush, rich feel. Good ripeness on nose and palate, with soft spice, ripe black fruit and mineral aromas.
