(2024) Rich, meaty nose, a little bit baked in character. Quite smooth, but rather one dimensional, a firm, slightly aggressive quality to the acidity, a bit a of raspberry lifts the finish. £13.99, but 'Angels' buy for £12.99
(2024) Cool climate character is good, with herbs, pepper and a certain meatiness. Plummy, the palate perhaps a slightly raw quality, a touch of charry character from the oak adds to that. Tannins are firm and this has reasonable balance overall. £24.99, but 'Angels' pay £15.99
(2024) Lemon and herbs, a clean slightly salty / mineral character. Plenty of sour lemon fruit on the palate and the classic bitter almond finish. £19.99, but 'Angels' buy for £12.99
(2024) Quite reserved aromatically, a touch of apple and and lemon. Dry, but lacks any punch or real vigour for Sauvignon. Reasonably well balanced, but rather insipid and felt a bit tired. Vin de France, so no regional information given. £16.99, but 'Angels' buy for £12.99
(2024) For me possibly the best wine in this small selection, quite herbal and has a certain feeling of richness. Nettle and some elderflower. Bursts with passion fruit and peach on the palate; plenty of vivacious zesty orange and lemon acidity. £21.99, but 'Angels' pay £13.99
(2024) A Bordeaux blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and 9% Malbec. Sweet, plush and smooth black fruits. A touch of chocolate, plum and earthier depths. Juicy and well balanced blend. Not hugely complex, but very enjoyable. £21.99, but 'Angels' buy at £13.99.
