Senorio de San Vicente Rioja San Vicente 2021 75cl
£64.82
Described by Robert Parker as Rioja made in the image of a Chateau Margaux, where richness is combined with elegance," this is an exceptional and unique wine, made entirely from Tempranillo Peludo, which grows around the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra 'Peludo' means 'hairy', and it is so-named because of the downy undersides of the leaves Unlike most Tempranillo, Peludo requires a long season to ripen, and produces unusually low yields The wine comes from a single vineyard called La Canoca, which sits at close to 600m elevation at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria mountains All these factors make producing it a risky business, and indeed in some years, the Eguren family has not produced any However, the risk is worth it due to its unforgettable intensity, complexity and ageability A sensational, must-try wine that is irresistible young yet capable of cellaring for many years
Louis M Martini Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 75cl
£124.84
The Monte Rosso vineyard lies at 1,000 feet in the Mayacamas mountains in Sonoma County At this elevation, it is above the fog that so frequently affects California's coastal districts, and so experiences plenty of sunshine, tempered by the coolness of altitude These conditions lead to fantastically intense, succulent black cherry aromas, with more than a hint of spiciness Big, rich, velvety and utterly delicious With decanting, this is a super-impressive wine young, although it will also reward extended cellaring Marvellous
