Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes…

In 1952 Ernesto Che Guevara ventured on a magical journey through the wilderness of Patagonia on his precious Norton 500 which he nicknamed La Poderosa – the powerful one. The journey was immortalised in the film Motorcycle Diaries. La Poderosa Syrah Reserva is a fine example of Chilean Cabernet; it is a very intense red purple colour. The seductive nose teases with its rich aromas of chocolate, wild cherries and blackberries; there are also well integrated touches of vanilla liquorice, black pepper and leather. The well balanced, fantAstically intense palate is fresh and laden with juicy fruit; spice and mocha then linger on the finish with the gloriously ripe tannins.

Our Alternative Wines

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.
