Fine Red Wine

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.

From this up-and-coming producer a sensational Côtes du Rhône village and for us, one of the best value wines to be found in all the Rhône valley. Very Châteauneuf.

"This is a class act and can only get classier as it matures."

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

"The tannins eased off as I worked my way down the bottle where I found nothing but pleasure."

From 3rd-growth Château Giscours (Margaux) and sumptuous, abundant, well-balanced proof that you need not always pay £20+ for a bottle of Left Bank pedigree and finesse.

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

"It has weight and character of course, but it's surprisingly light on its feet for a Saint-Estèphe..."

"Deep dark red, with robust red and black fruit on the nose and touches of cedarwood and spice..."

A lively, cherry and red berry-scented pinot, with a soft, rounded palate full of black cherry and blackcurrant flavours.

Strikingly fresh and pure for a Malbec, with warm, sweetish bramble fruit, savoury spice and soft ripe tannins. Really characterful and well-balanced.

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

A full-bodied, bold, and complex example with hints of ripe dark cherry and underlying notes of vanilla and chocolate.

Magical claret from one of the two greatest vintages since 1945 and 1961 and now quite rare to find on market.

Warm, luscious cherry and plum fruit with woodsmoke, exotic spice, and fine polished oak.

From just 15km outside of St-Emilion and the now-historic 2009 vintage when a perfect combination of warm, sunny days and cool nights made for Ch. Méaume's ripe, luxurious and opulent ...

From Urbina's best fruit and from 20-year-old + vines for a Rioja of superb depth and intensity, to which 19 years of cellaring has added wonderful, intriguing nuance.

We've now sold out of this Amarone. However, we have another excellent option available: the 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Lonardi .
