A silky merlot blend from the Côtes de Castillon to deliciously demonstrate just how good - and ageworthy - the wines of Bordeaux's more affordable regions have become.

A beautifully developed, traditional Rioja which after 18 years' cellaring is rendered round, silky, complex and classy - full of fruit, full of life.

Château Ramafort is in cracking form. The Cru Bourgeois estate, once belonged to Château Lafite. A 50/50 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot.

A classic Pauillac expressed entirely through estate vineyard fruit and by the same winemaking team as châteaus grand vin label itself.

Made from low-yielding Grenache vines averaging over 70 years of age for a delicious example of how good modern Spanish winemaking gets.

A fine expression of Pomerol - deep, dark and profound with striking spiced black plum and damson fruit and an exotic, ethereal perfume.

Enticing, bold aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry with a hint of dark liquorice and spice. Fine, balanced tannins and beautiful long finish.

Fresh, luscious and elegant in style, but also with profound, plump berry fruit to the fore. Fine balance here of fruit, tannin and texture – an excellent Chianti.
