Achaval Ferrer Malbec described as a 'Benchmark Argentinian Wine'
Malbec Achaval Ferrer 2009
"A bit of a benchmark Argentinian wine for me. I love it for its perfumed aromas, for its bright vivid tang and for being more of a ballerina than a boxer. It's lithe and powerful but not brutish; an elegant malbec that never fails to impress."

Domaine de Saissac's Cabernet Sauvignon voted a Top Red Wine
Cabernet Sauvignon Domaine Saissac VdP d'Oc 2008
"This is the kind of wine that wine trade types – including posh merchant Corney & Barrow – like to call "modern", which generally tends to mean it tastes more like something from the New World than Europe. That's half-true here: it's a ripe cabernet sauvignon grown in a warm climate (the Languedoc), but while it may not be exactly what you'd expect from traditional France, its lovely pure cassis and supple tannins are nonetheless irresistible."

Schloss Schonborn Receives 4****
Rheingau Riesling QbA Schloss Schonborn 2009
“From a producer you can generally rely on, this is a revitalising, off-dry and very moreish glass of wine. Flavours of citrus zest, zippy lime pie and flecks of minerality are framed by delicious acidity, heightening the wine’s refreshment value." 4****
