'Rosés & Reds' - Summer 2006

     
 

Rosé BIN

BIN

 

 

Bordeaux Rosé Les Gauries (France 2002)
175 ml £3.15      250 ml £4.35

£12.50

30

A more traditional light and fruity rosé . Good balance aided by the crisp acidity and pleasant redcurrant and raspberry-like fruit flavours. Great on its own! LB

 

 

Reds

 

 

Eloise Merlot, Vin de Pays d'Oc ( France )
175 ml £2.55      250 ml £3.40

£9.90

31

This has lovely spicy undertones that combine with lifted mixed berry fruit flavours. Soft plummy and very gluggable. MB

 

 

 

 

 

Casa Donoso Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile 2001)
175 ml £3.25      250 ml £4.50

£12.95

32

A full-bodied fruit driven wine with aromas of blackcurrant and added complexity from well judged ageing in oak barrels. FB

 

 

 

 

 

The Truth Shiraz (Australia 2002)
175 ml £3.65      250 ml £5.30

£14.95

33

This is a no nonsense full bodied spicy offering from Australia. Everything you want from a proper Aussie Shiraz with loads of blackberries, richness and a long smooth finish. FB

 

 

Chateau Darmagnac ( Bordeaux Supérieur 2000)

£15.50

34

Situated in the heart of Bordeaux, 15 miles south of St Emilion, Darmagnac has been producing wines for over 200 years. Deep ruby in colour, the class of the 2000 vintage shines through. Black fruits with violet characters in the background - an elegant expression of Merlot. FB

 

 

El Coto de Imaz Crianza ( Rioja , Spain 2001)

£15.95

35

Smooth & Elegant 'old style' Rioja. Twelve months in American and French oak with a lingering vanilla finish. Exceptional with Lamb, but equally at own on its own! MB

 

 

The Ruins Pinotage - Organic - ( Eilandia , South Africa 2003)

£15.95

36

Quite simply the best Pinotage we have come across in recent times. Rich and spicy with brambly fruit flavours. Smooth and organic to boot, this full-bodied wine will accompany most meat dishes and would be an ideal partner for cheese. FB

 

 

Fiorentini Poggio Romita ( Chianti , Italy 2002)

£17.50

37

Good Chianti can be hard to find. Here is one that offers classic red fruits along with a touch of floral aromas. Dry and medium bodied with excellent balance and length. MB

 

 

Mas de Boislauzon ( Cotes du Rhone Village , France 2001)

£19.85

38

Dark berry aromas with concentrated flavours of spice and blueberry. Essentially this wine is as good as or better than many negociant Chateauneuf du Papes, and we whole-heartedly recommend that you give it a go! FB

 

 

Pesquera Reserva (Ribera del Duero, Spain 1997)

£27.50

39

A rare treat indeed from the incomparable Ribera del Duero region, the arid outpost of northern Spain . Expect intense purple fruit from the Tinto Fino grape in this stunning Reserva which sets it apart from the Riojan reds. The Pesquera bodega is found just a stones throw away from the Vega Sicilia vineyards, the long acknowledged premier wine in the whole of Spain . Nectar in a glass! LB
