Gold Medal - Concours International de Lyon. It is no wonder that this is the former domaine of the Lacoste family who owned Petrus. A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, Château Lys de Maisonneuve begins with aromas of red fruits and exotic spices which are joined together with tobacco and herbs. Full-bodied with notable fruit tannin structure and a core of bright black cherries that lead up to the long juicy finish. Appealing now, and should continue to develop in bottle over many year

90 Points -  Robert Parker - Légende is made from an old vineyard plot dating back to 1949 where the first ever dry Maury wine was produced. The soil is tilled by Comtois draught horses – Rambo and Vagabond, and the blend is Grenache Noir (80%) and Carignan (20%), after being hand harvested, twice sorted and fully de-stemmed. The result is a wine with great aromatic depth.  About the Producer A story that began when, in 1816, Raymond Amiel won the deeds to this property from the Bishop of Perpig

91 Points - Tim Atkin. A wine produced only in excellent vintages from over 60 year old vines situated in the Rioja Alta. This is a classic Rioja with a modern touch characterising the Ramón Bilbao style and philosophy. Elegant and complex nose with aromas of ripe fruit, blackberry, plum, hints of cherry. Spicy with aromatic herbs such as rosemary, there is a clear presence of oak barrels and hints of sweet spices, pastries and nougat combined with roasted flavours and cocoa.  About the Producer

Award Winning Vineyard - Two plots of Syrah vines from Chanos-Curson and Veaunes with an average age of over 20 years go into making this intense, silky and balanced Crozes-Hermitage. Drink now, or lay down to increase in complexity over the next 5-10 years.

This Multi Award Winning wine from Villa degli Olmi is made in the style of Amarone but from grapes outside of the official jurisdiction. Corvina & Rondinella are the dominate varieties, however, the blend also consists of Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot. Using the Appassimento method which consists of drying the grapes to concentrate the aromas, the wine is dark red in colour with a silky, unctuous texture and a pleasant aroma. This wine is soft with a lovely roundness and balanced persiste

91 Points - Robert Parker. The Quinta do Crasto Superior Red Douro D.O.C. is a highly-rated red wine hailing from Portugal's Douro region. Skillfully blending the classical red grapes of Portugal, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz – it offers freshness and balance on both the nose and palate, along with a robust body, ripe firm tannins, and complex notes of dark berried fruits and cocoa that linger towards a long and elegant finish.

93 Points - Wine Spectator. The Zinfandel Old Vines is a blend of declassified wine from Turley’s old-vine vineyards.

94-95 Points - James Suckling. A benchmark for Châteauneuf du Pape, the Vieux Télégraphe has been run by the Brunier family for five generations, since 1891. The flagship of the great estate is the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape and it could quite possibly be one of the longest lived wines in the 2018 vintage, which in general, is a charming, forward vintage geared for consumption in the first decade of life.  Wine Press Ratings 94-95 Points - James Suckling "The finished blend that is now aging anoth

From the Tuscany wine region, Castellani Campomaggio 2015 is a bright and fruity Chianti Classico with firm and grippy tannins.

90 Points - Cellar Tracker. One of the most amazing Californian Zinfandels you can find in the UK. Big flavours, big body, big abv content, but everything is in harmonious balance. “Juvenile” comes from young vines (6-25 years old), interplanted, from several of their old vine designated vineyards – including Hayne, Ueberroth, Pesenti, Salvador and Vineyard 101. Whilst it offers sumptuous, joyous fruit, it also gives more than a glimpse of Turley’s single vineyard wines. Taste Vivino Rating: 4.2

Langhe Nebbiolo is the baby brother of Barolo, made in a younger and more approachable style, whilst maintaining many of the wonderful characteristics of Barolo. Indeed, this Langhe Nebbiolo from Michele Reverdito is produced from the Barolo vineyards of San Giacomo and could be classified as such, however, Michele considers the soil to have too much clay to produce Barolo. Medium - full bodied with a complex aroma of fruit and spice, this is fantastic everyday fine wine. About the Producer The

95 Points - Emanuel Pesqueira. From vines grown on a steep north facing slope in the Raupo vineyard, where the soils are dense and clay-based.

The Hill of Corton lies in the midst of a cluster of famous wine-growing villages, Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The vineyards lie at heights of 250-330 metres and form a kind of amphitheatre not found elsewhere in the Côte. Corton is the only Red Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune, and this cuvée from Decelle Villa is a limited production of only 300 bottles from the 'Climat' of Le Rognet. Solid and opulent, Corton is an icon of Burgundy, highly complex

96 Points - Decanter. The Man O' War Dreadnought 2018 is a classically styled Syrah with really lifted spice and floral notes overlaying a more savoury umami character. Underneath the aromatic lift is a layer of red berry fruit characters which lead into a soft and supple palate following with a clear focused acidity and fine tannins, all finishing with a trademark long persistence that is fresh and slightly salty.
