Chablis Vincent Dampt "can't fail to bring pleasure"
Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Maison Dampt 2008
"For a marvellous example of how the terroir influences Chablis, try Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Maison Dampt 2008. Rich and concentrated, the minerality is so focused you can almost taste the ancient-old soils! Fresh with a buttery nose, ripe citrus fruit and a nuttiness on the long finish, this special occasion wine can't fail to bring pleasure to the palate."

Achaval Ferrer Quimera 2008 "Age Worthy"
Achaval Ferrer Quimera 2008
"Ambitious blends of Mendoza Malbec fruit with several Bordeaux varieties. The former smoky, spicy and unmistakably Argentinian on the nose, quite seriously structured with firm, fine tannins, unashamedly weighty, but balanced and age worthy."

Cabernet Merlot Eagle Vale Voted Top Weekday Wine
Cabernet Merlot Eagle Vale 2008
"Just 3km from the Indian Ocean, Eagle Vale has garnered worthy praise since its debut vintage in 2001. This wine is graceful and refined, with herb and green pepper notes underscored by oaky, damson fruit characters. Concentrated, savoury and fantastically enjoyable." 5*****
