The 2014 Clinet @berrybrosrudd has Black cherry, smoke, graphite, chocolate and French oak , Hints of lavender and violet develop in the glass. It’s a big, imposing wine in need of cellaring. Also shows signs of plum, crème de cassis, spice-box, dried flowers, and graphite aromas. It’s a wine that can be drunk now ( although I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s a big wine 😁) but leave it for 5 years.

Want black fruit 🍇 ✏️ shavings smooth tannins and and an unbelievable price of £13.50 ($17.80) go to @berrybrosrudd and get this fabulous everyday drinking red from Bordeaux #blackfruit #blackcurrant #pencilshavings #smoothtannins #bordeaux @chateauclinet #redwine #cabernetsauvignon #merlot
Thought I’d try this cheeky £5.99 ($7.99) from @lidluk and recommended by @richardbampfield @eszterbauerwine uses local grapes from Hungary 🇭🇺 -#palinkaslaki #kleinmiklós #molnarlaki light in body light in colour good acidity and fairly@good tannins. For such a reasonable price and a light summery drink with a touch of pepperyness this is a ‘no-brainer” enjoy with delicate foods and works@well with fish 🐟
#francoisgay Pernand-Vergelesses: Domaine François Gay & Fils 2015 Father and son team, François and Pascal Gay are based in Chorey-les-Beaune and produce a range of red wines from different local appellations (Beaune, Chorey, Savigny, Ladoix, Corton), as well as one white from Pernand-Vergelesses. It has appealing green apple 🍏 scents and an elegant orchard fruit palate offset by chalky, mineral notes and underscored by a fine acidity. It is best served lightly-chilled (around 12-14⁰C) and makes a marvellous accompaniment to poached salmon or roast chicken 🐓 #chardonnay #greenapples #citrus #france #pernandvergelesses #burgundy #whitewine #winewithdinner #wineonitsown great on a lazy weekend with friends

APPEARANCE A lovely colour of sparkling yellow gold veiled in luminous golden reflections. PALATE seeded and stone fruit, citrus fruit, warm Madelines with a touch of spruce and juniper berries. AROMA Fine malted notes associated with orchard fruit (white peach, nectarine, Lorraine plum) refined by the purity of the complex mandarin zest aromas.
