Comment on: Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Riesling 2009
Expensive but Brilliant.
Beautiful golden colour on pouring the nose is as complex and interesting as the wine itself. Floral, citrus, spice and that slight petrol smell you get with Riesling.
It's fresh and dry in the mouth with those citrus and spice flavours coming through with a slight honeyness on the long finish.
A great treat and a wine that should impress most people.

Fresh, dry and fruity. Went well with white fish.
Just missing that minerally edge I look for in a great white wine.

Hi, I'm traveling in Galicia again. Albariño wines made in a small valley called "val do Salnés" I´m thinking they are the best. Albariño is perhaps better than Spain provided the backdrop of white wines in the world. Very difficult to cultivate, but long-lived wines, clean and aromatic Salnés conreto the salty notes and eucalyptus are very fine. The aroma is like the toilet soap (almond flowers and lemon fine), fine, complex and great with seafood. Please try it ..... They are not cheap but very good. Maybe in Spain the best value wines are from Rueda. Verdejo (the grape) it is very special. Well adapted to the area (high altitud and dry area). Singular soil and nice growers. But we will talk about another day, if if you can, try it ....¡

Comment on: Back Door Cape Monster Red 2005
With another monster red on the marketplace this week I thought it would be a good time to try this fella.
Decanted for eight hours the nose moved from alcohol to warm soft fruit.
Wonderfully complex, the balance is perfect. Fruit, oak, acidity and minerality working together to create a class act. Stick this with a lump of red meat and you're in for a treat.
Would love to know if this weeks marketplace offering is from the same stable because if it is then I'm getting two cases!

Not a great fan of whites but this was one of the best whites I've had from NW, no this IS the best
Good all-round Syrah. Deep colour, good nose, spicy background, smooth with no biterness. One to dr
Easy & smooth, surprising as this is 14.5%. With the £4 cash back this is good for value. Not a big
