The lovely colour of this Nebbiolo, which is ever so slightly pink, adds a great sense of occasion. The nose suggests jam and something like currant. The bouquet includes the flavour of a sweet red apple. The finish is long, with pepper and plum. — 9 days ago

Pécharmant has a storied, multi-century history in its particular region of France; and that certainly shows in this mature offering from Chateau Beauportail. Black fruits such as currant and plum feature strongly in the nose and bouquet, while the very long finish adds oak and slate. — 2 months ago

The “noble rot” that goes into Sauternes makes for fascinating reading. This offering has overripe melon in the nose, with honey and Cointreau in the bouquet. — 3 years ago
