Clear deep garnet. Hypnotic nose of sweet amaretto almond, blackberry and vanilla. Medium-bodied, still quite tannic, warm and fruity with plum and cherry flavours. Best now. Well-matched to goat leg roasted with garlic and mirepoix and a Tempranillo jus.
Deep crimson, throwing some sediment. Intense and complex nose of plums, prunes, strawberry jam, vanilla, liquorice, coffee. Still appealingly fruity with plum and cherry flavours and a smoky background. Perfectly balanced, to be savoured over the course of a long evening. Decant and drink now.
A blend of the local Merseguera grape with Sauvignon Blanc, this is a light, crisp wine showing citrus, floral and tropical-fruit scents on the nose. Citrus, green apple and something akin to lychee in the mouth with clean acidity and a very light finish.
Pale straw colour with hint of green; a nose of struck flint, cut grass and peapods. Medium-bodied, dry with some residual sweetness in mid-palate balanced on the finish with lively citrus acidity.
The perfect apéritif to stimulate your guests’ appetites is a glass of chilled, dry sherry. Manzanilla is the driest style of sherry. Very pale in colour with a nose of chamomile and green nuts, this crisply dry, elegant, light-bodied fortified wine has a mouth-freshening flavour of dried lemons, nuts and a slightly salty tang on the finish.
This stalwart of the LCBO general list once again delivers the goods. Mid-weight, the cherry, plum, liquorice, tobacco, leather and herbs glide across the palate. It is lengthy, with soft tannins and is ready to drink. Perfect for the barbecue season — hamburgers and sausages!
Exudes ripe fleshy red fruit scents with subtle earthiness, cinnamon and a trace of green herb. Developed raspberry and red currant themes play through on the palate with a splash of milk chocolate, delivered in a firmly structured, full-bodied package.
