Another rye-based Polish vodka which seems to share many of the positive aspects of the Wyborowa (clean, peppery, vanilla-tinged aromatics — this time with slight herbal nuances). Clean, with nice body and texture, and the pronounced peppery aromas characteristic of rye-based spirits. Distilled since 1864, the brand is partially owned — and fully endorsed — by actor Bruce Willis. Yippee ki-yay, martini lover. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
This is the best Pinot Norman Hardie has made yet from County fruit. Deep ruby in colour with a spicy nose of raspberries and vanilla oak. Medium-bodied; elegant with sweet fruit beautifully balanced with oak and a mineral thread. Great length.
Expressive nose of red fruits, stones; inviting. Delicious taste filled with fruity flavours, supple and bursting with baby fat texture. Too good to wait, just drink it now.
Offers good varietal character with floral scents, generous green and yellow fruit flavours, racy acidity, mineral grip and a satisfying fruity finish.
This well-priced Left Bank Bordeaux features classic aromas of cassis, raspberry, herbs, tobacco, graphite, anise and vanilla. It possesses a medium body and very good length. Drink or hold for a couple of years. Serve with charcuterie or steak.
Traditional method Blanc de Blanc, 100% Chardonnay. A stream of fine bubbles and gentle mousse, aromas of brioche and orchard fruits followed by a well-structured palate of citrus, green apple and stone fruit, with generous but still lean mouthfeel underpinned by excellent acidity through a persistent finish.
Forward hints of slightly earthy notes and orchard hints before a palate of pear and starfruit, melon and stone fruit with a luscious texture supported by easy acidity and a lengthy end.
