Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes…

The single varietal Contino Graciano Rioja is only produced in exceptional years. The hand-harvested grapes are vinified slowly, before being aged in French and Hungarian oak casks for thirteen months, then a minimum of one year in bottle prior to release. This top notch Rioja is a deep ruby red with violet tinges. Very aromatic with wild blueberries, cassis, aniseed and eucalyptus with slight hints of leather and tobacco. This vintage has a bright, full palate with a long finish and soft tannins. The wine has aged nicely in bottle and is just starting to show its best characters. Won GOLD at the 2013 Sommelier Wine Awards

Verum Seleccion de Familia Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes…

Classic elements of Cabernet Franc on the nose including wild strawberry, blackberry, pencil shavings and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. This is riper than a typical old world Cabernet Franc and does not show too much greenness, instead offering more body and depth of fruit and a slight touch of herbal mint. The fuller bodied palate is elegant with firm tannins but a vital balancing acidity. Cedar notes show from the use of French oak and the finish is dominated by bright red fruit and mocha spice.

Price range: £134.00 through £265.50

Karim Mussi Abras Malbec

Tasting Notes…

Fresh plums, violets, blueberry, crushed-stone and mineral aromas on the nose lead to a fresh and brightly fruited, full-bodied palate with firm, silky tannins.

Price range: £131.50 through £260.50

Algodon Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes…

Vanilla, mocha and dark fruits fill the enticing nose.  The palate is rich and offers a fuller style of Pinot but retains elegance.  The palate is smooth with dark cherries, sandalwood and creamy vanilla flavours.

We say…

This is superbly textured Pinot Noir.
