This deep-coloured and deep-flavoured Gevrey-Chambertin is a beautifully faithful rendition of the appellation With succulent damson and black cherry fruit character, it has fabulously sumptuous, velvety texture A delicious, classic Burgundy made with a deft touch, that is 100% enjoyable now, and has the superb balance and structure to hold for a number of years
Joseph Drouhin Cote de Beaune 2022 75cl
£57.80
A gorgeous, sumptuous and majestic red Burgundy, this is a wine that impresses in every way - including how good the beautifully classic bottle looks (makes a great gift, by the way!) Rich and full-bodied, with velvety texture, lusciously deep fruit character and complex, truffley nuances, this can keep for a few years, but it's so irresistible, crack on and enjoy it straight away Not to be confused with Cote de Beaune Villages, this exceptional wine is made from the fruit of younger vines in the famous Clos des Mouches Premier Cru, as well as plots in other Premier Cru vineyards owned by Joseph Drouhin on the southeast-facing slope overlooking the town of Beaune

Crasto Touriga Franca 2019 75cl
£50.21
Like Touriga Nacional, Franca is an emblematic variety of the Douro region, although it is usually part of a blend: wines made exclusively from it are extremely rare This is the newest addition to Crasto's single-variety wine collection, and it displays similar, suave, silky, succulent texture to the Touriga Nacional, with a more restrained, less extrovert personality It has similarly concentrated black and blue fruit character, while the floral and spice attributes are present as subtle seasonings There is nothing here to hinder immediate enjoyment, and yet it could also age beautifully
Crasto Old Vines Reserva Half Bottle 2023 37.5cl
£18.86
Hugely complex, this wine has concentrated aromas and flavours, married to wonderful freshness It is lively and juicy - like biting into a just-ripe cherry that bursts in your mouth - and yet is far from straighforward, with intriguing nuances of spices, Mediterranean herbs, olives and well-integrated oak This is irresistible now - and even better if you decant it first - but if you can, keep some bottles back for 257or even 10 years, as it has both the guts and the balance to gain even more complexity with time
Crasto Douro Red Half 2023 37.5cl
£8.28
Opaque red in colour with aromas of red berry fruit and subtle oak On the palate it has a perfect balance of bright, juicy red fruit, with satisfying weight of texture and the merest suggestion of well-integrated oak on the finish A superbly well made, moreish wine to enjoy with hearty mushroom or lamb dishes, and it's also a contender for the title of Perfect Barbecue Red

This is not soft, squashy strawberry Starburst Grenache This is real Grenache Serious Grenache Grenache with an attitude It has the most phenomenally complex aroma of wild berries, pepper, mushroom, gravel and iron Depth, intensity and generous structure Wild strawberries and peppery spice dance amid earthy undertones and brooding tannins Decant to really show its true potential, then savour it slowly Drink now or over the next ten years Superb!
