Col d'Orcia OLMAIA Cabernet IGT della Toscana
Description: Deep ruby red in colour. The bouquet is warm. The taste is intense and persistent with sweet and velvety tannin. The Col d’Orcia Estate covers some 525 hectares near Sant’Angelo in Colle in the southern part of Montalcino, including 80 hectares of vineyards and 100 ha of olive groves. Col d’Orcia is one of Montalcino’s most dynamic wineries, with massive investment in cellar technology and vineyard research. Thanks to consultant Maurizio Castelli and enologist Mario Olivero, the wines are in the modern vein: Brunello di Montalcino has the classic tarry complexity but with a supple structure of fruit and soft tannins. The cru Poggio al Vento comes from 4 hectares vineyard and is widely considered one of the finest modern expressions of Brunello. Rosso di Montalcino is excellent value with delicious ripe strawberry flavour. Ghiaie Bianche is one of the finest of Tuscany’s new crop of oak-fermented Chardonnays: now with a better balance between ripe fruit and toasty oak (6 x 75 cl)

Jean-Claude Boisset Chateaux de Pierreux RESERVE du CHATEAUX Brouilly
Description: Made from Gamay fruit this is a deep, dark garnet in colour with violet highlights, intriguing brilliance and beautiful lustre. The nose is slightly woody, with vanilla and cinnamon notes developing into a more floral register, including violet and iris, that is a great reflection of the terroir. On the palate the wine is suave in the mouth, with a fine fruit-wood balance and aromas of dark-coloured berries such as blueberry. The finely toasted oak is remarkably well-integrated and steers the finish towards subtle notes of spice. The Reserve de Chateau, a selection of the Estate's oldest vines and best vineyard is aged in used barrels for about 8 months prior to bottling. It is altogether a more serious wine, illustrating the heights that the Gamay grape can scale, given proper care and attention. (12 x 75 cl)

Mitolo SAVITAR Syrah McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: The wine name 'Savitar' refers to a mythical dragon-like monster while the wine comes from the Chinese Block vineyard which is located in the Willunga district at the southern end of McLaren Vale. Parcels of Shiraz averaging 20 years of age are grown on rocky, skeletal soils in the northeast part of the vineyard. The result is a dark red with a vibrant purple hue while the aromatics are bright, elevated combinations of cassis, tobacco and spice-box yet with freshness and vitality. The palate is full bodied, meaty and complex – well integrated oak and tannin provide elements of structure to the wine and it finishes with impressive length. (3 x 1.5 Litres)
Price: £175.36

Jean-Claude Boisset Meursault Les Clous
Description: With nearly 400ha of vines, Meursault is a key part of the vineyards of Burgundy. The exposure here is almost exclusively easterly, with fairly gentle slopes. Of the thirty or so climats, with their good hillside location, a few are famed for their exceptional white villages wines. 'Les Tillets' is an excellent case in point, often demonstrating as much consistency as a Premier Cru, or sometimes even more. Parcel-based selection and vineyard management was used. The vineyard soil was worked in order to encourage the microbacterial activity required for the terroir to express itself. The yield is 30-35 hl/ha. Fruit from young vines is not used for this wine. The grapes were hand picked at optimum maturity and put into small perforated boxes. Patriat has two sorting tables, with 10 people per table, looking out for any grapes that aren't fit to go into the fermenting vat. The wine was barrel fermented using natural yeasts . Patriat eschews battonage as he doesn't like the fatness it lends to wines, preferring instead to allow the inherent elegance of his wines to shine through unhindered. The malolactic fermentation took place in barrel. The wine was matured for 15 months and underwent a very light filtration before bottling. (6 x 75 cl)
