Massaya Classic Red Bekaa Valley 2009
€19.95The classic red from Massay is fruity, supple with a lovely hint of subtle soft warming spices. A true "vin plaisir", a great wine for all occasions but comes into its own when paired with meat and barbecues or cheeses. Learn More -
Vieux Chateau des Templiers Pomerol 2007
€32.95This is a super-accessible Pomerol both in terms of price and style. It is the second property of the superb Chateau Rouget. Ripe and full-bodied with notes of dark fruits, plum and some cedar spice. Learn More -
Pegasus Bay Maestro 2007 Red Blend
€35.95On release, the wine has a deep, ruby hue. There is a dense core of fruit with hints of purple plums, blackberries, black cherries, cassis, liquorice and spice
both on the bouquet and the palate. It is chunky and muscular in the palate with a frame-work of well-ripened, fine-grained tannins which flow through the wine
and help draw out the lingering after-taste. Learn More -
Trinity Hill 'The Gimblett' Bordeaux Blend
€35.95Traditional wine-making techniques have created beautiful aromatics of ripe blackberry, fresh blackcurrant and dried herbs. Structurally the wine is dense, complex and powerful. This excellent structure will allow the wine to age gracefully developing further complexity over the next 6 to 8 years and also allows the wine to be very food friendly when young. Try with red meat and game dishes. Learn More -
Neil Ellis Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
€35.95Medium red, purple in colour with high-toned blackcurrant, violet and cedar aromas and touches of mint, so typical of a Jonkershoek wine. The rich, ripe opulent but youthful palate has plummy fruit, a background of new oak and fine tannins. This is a multi-faceted wine that needs time to mature. Learn More -
Meerlust 'Rubicon' Red 2006
€38.95Out of stock
Very deep, youthful colour, intense almost purple hue. Very classic Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood and intense spiciness. Still very young but brooding, promising further maturation potential. The palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded, linear tannins. Learn More -
Bussola TB l'Errante 2004
€40.00Continuing Bussola's idiosyncratic thinking outside of the box, this is a Veronese Bordeaux blend! It's huge and delicious in equal measures. Though we officially "disapprove" of these experimental things, we can't help loving this stuff very dearly indeed! Learn More -
Massaya Gold Reserve Bekaa Valley 2007
€40.95This is the top of the three red wines, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvedre and Syrah. A deeply coloured, luscious wine. A nose of sandalwood and incense, fantastic structure and concentration. A wine which will benefit from laying down for a few more years though drinking extremely well after a few hours in a decanter. Learn More -
Grosset Gaia 2006
€40.95Out of stock
The wine is complex, powerful, opulent and beautifully balanced. There are briary, blackcurrant flavours mingling with chalky, earthy, minerally characters, all balanced by ripe, finely knit tannins. Learn More -
Chateau Cantemerle Haut-Medoc 2007
€44.95A beautiful wine of elegance and intensity, this medium-bodied, dark plum/purple-hued 2007 possesses a floral-infused bouquet, sweet, plush, red and black fruit flavors, and an endearing, silky texture. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Robert Parker 90/100 Learn More
