Château Montrose 2004, Cru Classé, St-Estèphe
This is very deep and opaque in appearance, with toasty, black-cherry fruit held in check on the nose. The palate is bold and mouthfilling with a great sense of dimension. There is a serious volume of wonderfully ripe fruit yet with a precision peculiar only to great wines. Layer upon layer of black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, awesome power and refinement in one glass – a very intoxicating style with a mineral, terroir-driven vein. Very fine indeed and an undoubted star of the vintage. Part of our latest Fine Wine Parcel.

Château Gruaud-Larose 2005, Cru Classé, St-Julien
As is the norm in 2005, dense purple in colour indeed virtually opaque at the centre. Profoundly rich nose with aromas of cassis laced with spices. Sumptuously juicy black fruits palate is amply supported by grippy tannins. Super harmony and style here, a Gruaud with intensity of flavour, purity and all-important freshness. If the property maintains its reasonable pricing policy of recent years, Gruaud will be an excellent buy. Part of our latest Fine Wine Parcel.

Vieux Château Certan 2005, Pomerol
If ever there is a certainty about assured success in Pomerol it is that Alexandre Thienpont will make a show-stopping wine. VCC 2005 is nothing less than a brilliant wine that exudes class from the first hint of perfume to an extraordinarily long finish. Plump and lavishly opulent, Alexandre has coaxed the most ambrosial flavours from perfectly ripened fruit. A benchmark and a monument to Pomerol 2005. A beautiful, sensuous, silky, pomerol that proves that coaxing flavours from fruit reaps finer rewards than a bullying approach. An 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc assemblage. Part of our latest Fine Wine Parcel.
