Graham's Vintage 1970

Published by Wines Magic under wine

One of the finest ports of the vintage! A deliciously rich and ripe bouquet of caramel, dried fruits, bitter cocoa and espresso coffee. In the mouth, it is soft, round and exceptionally long and unbelievably inviting. Drinking now, it will be at its best for another 5 years or so.

Emilio Moro 2006 Ribera del Duero

Published by Wines Magic under wine

The 2006 Emilio Moro was aged in French and American oak for 12 months. It has a superb bouquet of smoke, roasted herbs, scorched earth, and blackberry. Layered on the palate, it has tons of fruit, plenty of spice box notes, a firm structure, and 2-3 years of ageing potential.' 92 points - Robert Parker's [...]

Barbaresco Sorì Tildìn, Gaja 1995 Langhe, Piedmont

Published by Wines Magic under wine

A saturated deep ruby colour partnered by surprising viscosity in the glass. The bouquet is dark fruit dominated, complex, expansive, rich and full bodied. This is a stellar Barbaresco and yet another testament to Angelo Gaja's winemaking skills.

This is a very attractive wine with a powerful bouquet showing intensity and depth of flavour. The palate is rich and ripe with great personality and finesse. [...]

Château de Pennautier Chardonnay 'Terroirs d'Altitude' 2008 Vin de Pays d'Oc

Published by Wines Magic under wine

This is an extremely classy wine. Aromas of peach, passion fruit and pineapple mingle with spicy notes of nutmeg and clove on the nose. While it is clear from the bouquet that this wine has seen oak-ageing this does not mask the elegance and freshness of the nose or palate which is rich and creamy. [...]

Château Margaux 1990 Margaux, 1er Cru Classé

Published by Wines Magic under wine

"The 1990 Margaux continues to be the quintessential example of this chateau. In addition to being profoundly concentrated, its ethereal bouquet of sweet black fruits, cedar, spices, flowers, smoke, and vanilla is remarkably well-formed and intense. In the mouth, there is not a hard edge to this classic wine, which is super-concentrated, soft, silky-textured, and [...]

Château Cheval Blanc 1988 St-Emilion

Published by Wines Magic under wine

The 1988 is more structured, less alcoholic than the 1989. It exhibits fine ripeness, and a cool, plummy bouquet intertwined with aromas of smoke and new oak. It is a very good Cheval Blanc.' Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2007 Marlborough

Published by Wines Magic under wine

Sought after New Zealand Chardonnay from the famous Cloudy Bay winery. A complex bouquet that ranges from figs and lemon butter to more savoury elements of fresh hay with hints of butterscotch. The palate is substantial and rounded with a toasty complexity and a lingering finish. Eminently drinkable now but it will reward those with [...]

Château Latour 1986 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé

Published by Wines Magic under wine

"Tasted from my cellar, the 1986 has consistently been outstanding, falling short of being sublime. The spicy, peppery bouquet reveals aromas of dried herbs and redcurrant fruit. Medium-bodied, austere, but youthful, vigorous, and concentrated, this wine still requires 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 90 points
