  Punta de Flechas Malbec 2017, Uco Valley Argentina (six bottle case)

  £107.70 £77.70 Buy Juicy and fruit-forward, the traits you expect in decent Malbec, and partly the reason for it's commercial success. After some air this vintage offers a ripe nose of blackberry liqueur, vanilla, coconut, toast and dark chocolate. There's a generous touch of oak here that provides plenty of spice and richness of texture.  Medium to full bodied with gorgeous texture and creamy finish, this Malbec has bags of black fruit and a layered finish, balancing rich fruit and savoury notes.

  Avondale Samsara 2011, Paarl South Africa

  £30.00 Buy This is quite simply brilliant wine. It punches well above its weight - in fact we've tasted wines three times the price that really don't compare. Let's start with the colour, its a shimmering opaque ruby that hugs the glass beautifully. On the nose there's soft wood, white pepper, violets, cured meat, vibrant red berries, orange peel, sweet smoke and layers of broody black fruit. Samsara is full, yet well-integrated with hints of plum and cherry, cloves, cinnamon and pepper. This wine is spectacularly well-balanced and carries an exceptional fruit-driven palate. The whole bunch fermentation results in great tannins and good acid which gives the wine an unbelievable length. Hats off to the team at Avondale. This is truly epic.

  Apaltagua Carmenère Reserva 2017, Apalta Valley, Chile (six bottle case)

  £90.00 £59.70 Buy This is classic Chilean Carmenère deriving from a 60 year old vineyard in Apalta. These gnarly old vines have deep roots and produce fruit with wonderful intensity and depth. On the nose this wine exudes layers of tobacco soaked fruit, toasted pepper, blackberry, dried mint and cumin. The palate seems to straddle the border of medium and full bodied. A savoury spicy exterior smothers a core of juicy ripe black fruit. This is ready to go, and after 20 minutes in a decanter drinks really well.

  Château Clarke 2018 Limited edition Anniversary Magnum

  £120.00 Buy This is extremely classy, deep purple in colour with great tension through the palate and easily one of the best vintages Ch. Clarke has ever produced. The wine opens up wonderfully in the glass with juicy, plush and vibrant black cherry fruit flavours, and tannins that are fine and well balanced. The structural impact of the wine is matched perfectly by the cassis and bilberry fruits. There's some new oak influence of course, but it pulls the wine together and offers a smoky sweet-edged complexity. This is a modern and classy vintage of Ch. Clarke that will age effortless for a few decades in the magnum.

  Château Clarke 2015, A.C. Listrac-Medoc

Both intense and complex, the nose displays fresh fruit aromas (black currant and black cherry) and elegant oak nuances, as well as hints of menthol and liquorice with aeration.

  Apaltagua Reserva Riesling 2018, Casablanca Valley, Chile

  £15.00 Buy As you except from Riesling, this wine delivers an aromatic explosion. There's zesty citrus fruit, lime peel, apricot and honeysuckle. It's a sadly fashionable stance to disregard Riesling, often due to fears of abundant levels of residual sugar. If you share those concerns don't worry. This is dry, with just a few grams of sugar per litre. The palate possesses razor like acidity that cleans up beautifully. The balance of fruit, acid and texture is quite remarkable given it's price point. Great stuff. It works wonders with pork belly and apple sauce.
