  Jonty’s Duck Pekin Red 2015, Paarl South Africa

  £16.95 Buy Lots of Blackcurrant, liquorice, with a hint of dark chocolate and ground coffee. The wine has an explosion of fruit on the palate and well integrated, elegant tannins to support it. The layers of fruit and silky finish will leave you wanting more, whilst a lingering after taste makes for a rather attractive finish. This blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec & Petit Verdot delivers a great texture and complexity. Why cellar further when it's drinking this well?

  Apaltagua Reserva Syrah 2018, Maule Valley Chile

  £15.00 Buy In the glass Apaltagua Reserva Syrah possesses a shimmering purple edged ruby colour with an opaque core. The nose starts off with modern and juicy black fruit, cherry, mint and a touch of liquorice. The depth and juiciness of the nose lead you expect a full bodied palate, but you’d be wrong - this is all about elegance and supple black fruit, peppered with spice and mint. A really wonderfully balanced wine from Apaltagua.

  Rothschild Claret Case (Six Bottle Case)

  £164.80 £138.00 Buy Légende Medoc 2016 - This vintage exhibits a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot of which 50% is aged in French oak – the rest in stainless steel to retain freshness and purity of fruit. The nose offers an array of black fruit, earthy toasted spice and cedar. There’s a freshness and crunch to the palate which will ensure this wine cellars well, but there’s also a silky plush edge which enables immediate enjoyment. Ch. Clarke 2006 - Rustic, earthy, structured and complex. Let’s make no mistake about it, this vintage is built in a traditional style. If you like sweet edged new world fruit with no structure then this isn’t for you. Clarke 2006 is broad and classical with juicy tannins and bags of earthy tertiary complexity. There’s cedar, forest floor, iron filings, black cherry and cigar box on the nose with a dense full bodied palate that is crying out for a hearty dish. Decant for thirty minutes and enjoy with beef and mushroom pie! Ch. Odilon 2016 - Classic Merlot on the nose; red cherry, blackberry and plum. Micro-oxygenation occurs in the barrel which enables the wine to reveal an array of mature spices; cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg. The dense and rich fruit has great freshness and energy, which are classic traits of the wonderful 2016 vintage. Although this drinks well now after a few hours in a decanter, you can’t help thinking it’s best years lay ahead.

  Blason de L’Evangile 2017, A.C. Pomerol

  £65.00 Buy 2017 witnessed very low yields for much of Bordeaux. Many of the wines, Blason de L'Evangile included, show good concentration and intensity. This 2017 Blason de L'Evangile offers a nose of toast, vanilla and deep black fruit with cocoa and blueberry. On the palate the wine has great intensity with dense, silky, ripe tannins. The finish is long and powerful.

  Lafite Réserve Spéciale Médoc Magnum 2016, A.C. Medoc

  £39.95 Buy Developed and mature with notes of tobacco, cigar box, cedar, violets, blackberry, toast and cassis. The palate is much riper and richer than you may expect given the format. This is a juicy Medoc with layers of suave black fruit and earthy spice. Great stuff from DBR Lafite! A well priced magnum of claret from one of the very best producers, what's not to love about that?

  Penfolds Grange Bin 95 2016, Australia

  £595.00 Buy This vintage is more immediately drinkable on release than historical vintages. It’s good to open now while there is plenty of deep diving to be done palate wise with its house styled VA note (in subtle amounts) and American oak influence playing its typical role in the overall character of the wine. Energy, depth and balance are key to its success, the palate appears bottomless with dried fig, anise, dark soy and classic chariness, yet there’s fleshy relief, neatly measured tannin feels that allow its dark fruit notes to rise again in the finish.

  Penfolds Magill Estate 2017, Australia

  £139.00 Buy Deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is disarmingly attractive with blueberry, blackberry and raspberry nuances, background vanilla and chocolate, the palate soft and supple, rounded and silky-smooth, with fruit sweetness and fine-grained tannins in perfect balance. A stunning wine, elegantly-framed and deliciously drinkable now, although it will undoubtedly age well. Full-bodied but far from being a blockbuster. Hard to resist now.

  Penfolds RWT Bin 798 2018, Barossa Valley Australia

  £132.00 Buy Medium deep colour. Intense dark cherry blackberry aromas with roasted chestnut dark chocolate notes. Well concentrated but elemental wine with deep set blackberry elderberry fruits, fine chocolaty tannins, new roasted chestnut vanilla oak notes and plentiful firm tannins. Finishes long and minerally. A lovely wine with Grange-like density, power and tension and the balance for a great cellaring career. Needs at least five years to fold into each other.

  Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2017, Australia

  £95.00 Buy Medium deep colour. Lovely fragrant claret style wine with exuberant fresh red cherry redcurrant, mulberry cassis aromas and roasted walnut complexity. Well concentrated and generous with inky cassis mulberry fruits, smooth velvety tannins, attractive viscosity and richness on the mid-palate and fine integrated acidity. Finishes powdery firm with superb mineral length. A hugely evocative wine; true to the original blueprint, spirit of style and the classic Penfolds multi-regional template. Delicious to drink now but should age beautifully.

  Domaine Machard de Gramont Hautes Côtes Beaune 2018, France

  £19.95 Buy Classical and alluring nose of redcurrants, savoury notes, black truffle, spice and cherry. Medium bodied with supple tannins and nicely weighted acidity. There's a obvious core of red fruit here that is slightly more prominent given the warmth of the 2018 vintage. It's tough to find quality under £20 in Burgundy. Every year we hear the same 'it's been a small harvest' which is a precursor for the inevitable price increases, but this is sensibly priced and performs very well. This will age well for another six years as well, yet after an hour in a decanter it drinks impressively. So the question is why wait?

  Classique 2013, Double Magnum, Stellenbosch South Africa

  £120.00 £99.50 Buy The format size here contributes hugely to the quality and accessibility of this wine. Wine is always better in larger formats and its easy to see when you taste the same wine side by side in different formats. After roughly an hour in a decanter, Classique 2013 from the double magnum shows off a wonderful nose of red berries, smoked meat, coffee, wet tobacco, cassis, blackberry, dried herbs and toast. The beautiful nose follows through to the palate with supple tannins and a wonderful texture and weight. Freshness is evident thanks to nicely weighted acidity. There's no rush to drink this though, it's certainly enjoyable now, but tucked away in a cool location it will evolve for another decade at least.
