week beginning 14/01/2008

the Times - Jane MacQuitty

light, elegant, peach and citrus-laden chardonnay

rich, ripe, sweet, fruity and surprisingly creamy malbec

verdant, white currant-spiked fruit

terrific, perfumed, peppery, briary rhône red with lots of red and black fruit

light, herby red, with lots of plummy, peppery shiraz

all gorgeous, ripe, nutty, perfumed, mature fruit with a fine, herby finish

the Sunday Times - Joanna Simon

Lightly honeyed, biscuity and citrussy. Very low dosage

Crisp appley fruit, with a hint of dill; much improved recently

Biscuity-brioche nose, with lemon and mineral notes

the Independent - Anthony Rose

attractive fresh cherryish aromas; robust mulberry and raspberry fruitiness

sweet vanilla fragrance and powerfully intense opulent cassis fruit

dark berry fruits with a bittersweet chocolatey richness, smooth tannins

the Observer - Tim Atkin

fresh and vibrant with notes of peach and nectarine

More complex, with subtle flavours of toast and citrus fruit

refined and beautifully balanced, with refreshing acidity and remarkable length

just as good (and arguably far better value for money) than Grange

the Telegraph - Jonathan Ray

weight, clean citrus flavours and mineral substance. Terrific value.

Opulent stuff, with smoke and rose-petal aromas, super-ripe peachy fruit

As clean and crisp as the air in the mountains where it's made

tropical, nose and clean, citrus acidity

the Guardian - Victoria Moore

Noticeably off-dry, with honey and roasted-cashew flavours

Silky, pure, dry, glows quietly; a caress of oak

lively, bright quince and tropical-fruit flavours; the vivacity marks it out

intense, honeyed flavours and a lot of peachiness and white flowers
