Red Wine Lovers Gift – Château Bolaire 2014 Magnum – Bordeaux Supérieur 150cl, in a 5 Star Wooden Gift Box
With so much Petit Verdot in the blend, the wine has a lustrous royal purple colour, with flashes of bright crimson at the edge. Floral aromas of crushed violets and faded rose petals, along with griotte cherries, sun-warmed blackberries, and basil sometimes alternate with crème de cassis, melted dark chocolate, and black truffles.
On the palate, the wine is juicy and sleek, with a succulent core of racy, very fresh red and black fruit, along with fleeting suggestions of fennel, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate that echo the evolving nose. Restrained silky ripe tannins, and the bright minerality and intertwined berry acids of the Petit Verdot keep it nimble and refreshing.
Château Bolaire is situated on the “Isle of Macau” in a pocket well protected with a warm microclimate. The 4.5 hectares’ plantings consist of 40% Petit Verdot, 33% Merlot and 27% Cabernet Sauvignon. Château Bolaire is an interesting estate in the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation, the vineyards boast the largest percentage of Petit Verdot planted in all of Bordeaux. Some of the vines are over ninety years old.

Castillo La Paz Old Vines Tempranillo 2017 Wine 75 cl (Case of 3)
Joe Fattorini’s Tasting Note: “Think of the things that make for great wines – classic varieties, old vines, historic regions, oak ageing… and then imagine them for about six quid. That’s this wine. Mature, complex strawberry and spice aromas and flavours, wonderful with a mid-week paella dotted with chorizo. Or a rich chicken casserole or pie. Mid-weight, ripe and delicious.”
Grown in Don Quixote’s homeland, the old vines from Castillo La Paz thrive in red-brown sandy clay, rich in limestone and chalk.
The clean and dry atmosphere creates optimum growing conditions for these ancient vines to produce wine of deep colour with concentrated aromas of rich berries and lifted soft strawberry characters on the palate.SKU: n/a -
