Excellent vintage, very pleasant and easy to drink, with good structure. It has lots of character and a peppery edge! I recommend it, good value for money!

A pleasant surprise, this wine has notes of dried red fruit, melted tannins and bright fruit, with a lovely finish.

A light, modern style Bordeaux. Full of fruit, enjoyed it with a veal cutlet with a mushroom sauce. Don't let it waste its taste by ageing, it's good to drink now and a year.

A racy, high-quality Bordeaux at a very reasonable price. Great with meat from the South-West... or elsewhere!

Supple, well-balanced wine. Pronounced red fruit tannins. Goes well with a variety of meats and cheeses.
