A lovely young red with rounded dark fruits, good depth for its age, but enough tart cherry to lift it. Pairs well with duck breast, the tannins are prominent but balance well, and benefits from aeration. Nice character to this wine, a lovely hidden gem, will require a lot of restraint not to finish the bottle or open another. — 9 days ago

Inedit by Estrella Damm is a wonderful beer created by the geniuses at elBulli. It is smooth, with a creamy, medium body and a perfect balance. Treat it like a wine, great with food! — 10 years ago

Nice berry fruits with an hint oak on the nose. A well rounded, luscious body with various dark fruits and balanced tannins. If you like Rioja, you must try this wine. — 11 years ago

Connections Semillon & Riesling Western Australia 2025: A clean, tropical fruit aroma. Very young, sharp, dry, clean, and fruity. Without food it is very sour, like biting into a lemon, almost undrinkable (unless you like that type of thing). Better with food. — 13 days ago

Billed as a 'elegant and sophisticated' red the Journeys End Huntsman is anything but. The colour and nose are pleasant and promise flavour that the wine cannot deliver. The wine is unbalanced with high tannins and tart fruit making for an unpleasant drinking experience. I couldn't even finish the bottle. Do not buy unless you need a cheap cooking wine. — 9 years ago

This is a cracking little wine, £12 from a local supermarket and worth every penny. As with all good Merlots this is easy drinking but the depth of flavour helps it stand up to some hearty meat dishes. If you see this, buy it, your in for a treat! — 12 years ago

8.8

A medium bodied red with lots of bright, tart, red fruits at the forefront, plenty of tannins, a light structure and depth. This is a wine best paired with food. We had it with pasta in a tomato sauce, and this tempered the Beaujolais acidity quite well. — a month ago

Armenia Nanar 2024. Grapes are Areni & Sireni. Weak legs but flavour is surprisingly deep and fruity. A pleasant and easy drinking red, but lacks the complexity. — 2 months ago

A youthful Chardonnay with a lovely aroma and balanced oak. Perfect with Welsh Rarebit, or cheese soufflé. — 10 years ago
