Very deep, dark ruby-red, the wine is practically opaque, with a purple rim. Aromas are of restrained and brooding dark-fruit. Dark-plum and damson fruit combines harmoniously with fresh acidity on the palate. The wine has a milky texture and smooth tannins that are so fine. The structure is of mid-weight, but the soft tannins leave a gap on the finish. Alcohol is well in balance, allowing juicy dark-plum fruit to reassert itself on the long, fresh finish.

Le Baron de Brane, the second wine of Château Brane-Cantenac in Margaux, is an exceptional offering that combines quality and value. This wine is crafted from the younger vines of the esteemed Brane-Cantenac vineyard, which benefits from the region's gravelly soils and optimal microclimate. Winemaker Henri Lurton oversees the meticulous production process. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving their vibrant character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with around 20% new oak, adding subtle complexity and structure. Each vintage of Le Baron de Brane offers a delightful nose of red berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of fresh fruit flavours, fine tannins, and a touch of spice, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. This wine embodies the prestige of Margaux while providing excellent value, making it an ideal choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.

Grosset Gaia Cabernet is one distinguished CabernetBring it on! By Gaia standards, its plump and plush with sweet fruit, rich dark chocolate and tannin presence. Gaia is always a wonderful long-term cellaring option, as is the case with the '08, but this vintage the added bonus of up front fruit enables immediate enjoyment.

Although Bandol produces the most serious red wines in Provence, it still isn't a particularly well known appellation, and chances are most people haven't even heard of Bandol. This intriguing wine is a blend of Mourvèdre (80%) and a dash of Cinsault (15%) and old vine Carignan (5%).

The 2001 Doisy Daëne Sauternes is a perfect match to apple crumble and double cream. This example shows lovely hints of marmalade and citrus on a palate that is sweet but not cloying.

It would be difficult to find a more classically Médoc wine than this great Cantemerle, with its sustained power and refined elegance. A very deep color and subtle aromas underscore its youth. Once in the mouth, this rich and full-bodied wine releases notes of coffee, olives and licorice which are emphasized by an opulent and harmonious length. A fine wine which marries fullness and delicacy, while avoiding heaviness and excessive oak.
