week beginning 22/07/2007

the Times - Jane MacQuitty

dirt-cheap summery white; big, fat, buttery tropical fruit

gentle, contemporary, herby, grassy, easy-swigging

voluptuous, ripe, grapey, delicate, gamey

plenty of ripe, floral, elegant, yet rounded peach and apricot

lively, leafy 2005, with lots of ripe fruit

exotic, fruity, unoaked Midi red

the Sunday Times - Joanna Simon

A good supermarket example of this dinner-party staple

Strawberry aroma, fuller and riper than most pink Sancerres

Polished; seductively sweet, spicy cherry fruit

the Independent - Anthony Rose

could almost be a vouvray from the Loire

generously ripe red

aromatic freshness; richness of fruit; intense lemony flavours

the Observer - Tim Atkin

refreshing, savoury; brilliant example of Jerez's lightest style

rich, perfumed, blackberry and liquorice-like

delicate, dry, leather- and truffle-scented

peachy, creamy, beautifully proportioned

the Telegraph - Jonathan Ray

delightfully aromatic; delicate, elusive sweetness

complex, caramel-laden ale aged in old bourbon barrels

exhilaratingly refreshing, with a zesty note of citrus

intriguing sweet/sour tartness; an absolute joy

the Guardian - Victoria Moore

dry, leathery red wine; oak-aged

pulses with minerality, and has little needley elbows

citrussy and a bit stony, too; very easy to drink

preserved lemon taste
