Pétrus 2011 - a 5***** Wine

Pétrus 2011
"Poise and finess. Certainly not a blockbuster although deceptive tannic frame under the silky texture. Fresh and energetic on the palate. Plenty of juicy fruit harvested at a perfect pitch. Drink 2022-2040."

Pintas a top "Quinta to watch"

Pintas Port
"This is not so much a quinta as a patch of south-facing vines in the Pinhao Valley belonging to Jorge and Sandra Srodio Borges. The oldest vines (more than 80 year's old) produce tiny quantities of elegant vintage Port. Perhaps this is the ultimate terroir Port?"

Ruca Malen awarded 3***

Malbec Ruca Malen 2010
"Cedar oak, chocolate and plump, curranty black fruit nose. Very ripe and soft with integrated fruit and oak, good solid tannins and good acidity. Has some elegance."

5***** for Domaine Trapet's Gevrey-Chambertin 2008

Gevrey-Chambertin Domaine Trapet Père et Fils 2008
"Trapet produces some of the most elegant, perfumed, profound expressions of Pinot Noir around. Combining elegance and power, it shows an ethereal fragrance and rich, savoury, raspberry notes. A long, perfumed and incredibly complex finish leaves you gasping for more."
