“This is really packed, offering dense waves of cassis, plum compote and blackberry reduction flavors that stay well-defined as they rumble through, with ample cast iron, sweet tapenade, lavender and bay leaf accents. There’s loads of grip on the back end, but it’s well-integrated, so just let this unwind in the cellar. Best from 2024 through 2038.” 95 pts., James Molesworth, winespectator.com

Wines can be delivered duty-paid to UK addresses upon payment of the required duty, VAT, delivery and storage charges (if applicable). Duty and VAT are as set by HMRC at the time of delivery. Delivery charges are based on number of cases to be delivered and are standard for all UK addresses except highlands and islands. Please ask for a quotation for highlands and islands, transfers to another bonded warehouse and for international transfers.

2015 E. Guigal, Cote Rotie, Brune Et Blonde 12x75cl
"96% Syrah, 4% Viognier. Aged for 36 months in oak barrels, of which 50% are new.
Velvety tannins, excellent black-fruit clarity, well-integrated oak and a touch of floral lift to finish. Modern, perfumed, precise and lengthy. Very satisfying and typical." 17 pts., Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com
£500 / Case£41.67 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2020 Yann Chave, Crozes-Hermitage, Rouvre 12x75cl
Yann’s ‘le Rouvre’ cuvée steps things up a gear, with an extra level of depth and intensity. A selection of the oldest parcels of syrah in the south of Crozes, and aged for 12 months in one... and two year-old barrels. Violet florals, blood citrus and white pepper on the nose; rich and powerful on the palate with intense, black cherry and an intriguing interplay of sweet and bitter black olive fruit. Ultra precision and polish on a long, expansive finish.
£275 / Case£22.92 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2020 Domaine de la Bouissiere, Gigondas, Font De Tonin 12x75cl
Rightly described as a 'mountain' Gigondas, as its 80% grenache and 20% mourvedre are sourced at elevations between 300 and 500m just below the Dentelles de Montmirail. Compact nose of sweet, spicy... black fruit, bay leaf and olive; on the palate liquorice, juicy black and red fruit; power, rich, pure and deeply expressive, refined tannins finishing long with great precision and freshness.
£330 / Case£27.50 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2020 le Clos du Caillou, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, La Reserve 6x75cl
"Huge intensity of burgundian red-berry fruit. Explodes on the palate. Layers of fruit with oh-so-fine tannins and amazing freshness and length on the finish. Real persistence aromatically. Powerful but elegant and restrained. Huge potential for ageing." 17.5 pts., James Lawther MW, www.jancisrobinson.com
£580 / Case£96.67 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2020 Yann Chave, Hermitage 6x75cl
Sheer Hermitage syrah elegance on full display: violet, black cherry, white pepper and liquorice nose; silky, juicy, sweet black/red cherry fruit, peppery, expansive and leading to ultra precision on a lingering finish. If you can resist the temptation of drinking this in 5 years, it will be extraordinary in 15.

£160 / Case£26.67 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2020 Pierre Jean Villa, Saint-Joseph, Preface 6x75cl
Pierre's many years in Burgundy beautifully influence his take on Rhone varietals and terroir. Here, a St-Joseph of deep, lively cherry, blackberry and violet aromas, with notes of bacon, liquorice... and black pepper corn. Nicely concentration and energy on the palate that gives lively red and blue fruit and floral pastille flavours. Long, sappy, spicy, floral and gently tannic closing showing a laser-like delineation.
£150 / Case£25 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2020 le Clos du Caillou, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Les Quartz 6x75cl
"Deepest colour of the four Clos du Caillou cuvées (plenty of Syrah). The aromatics are again restrained but there’s an attractive pitch of fruit and a spicy note that grows with aeration. Rich... and sweet, the fruit really concentrated on the palate. Tannins firm but very fine and completely interwoven with the fruit. Another for ageing." 17 pts., www.jancisrobinson.com
£310 / Case£51.67 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: Immediate 2020 Domaine de la Bouissiere, Gigondas 12x75cl
Old vines and elevation provide an invigorating elegance and freshness on a nose of juicy, red fruit grenache, leading to equally juicy, bitter, black syrah fruit on a palate that shows at once raciness, great power and depth. Wonderfully interwoven tannis, ong, peppery, juicy finish. An exceptionally unique Gigondas.
£220 / Case£18.33 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2020 Melody, Crozes-Hermitage, Premier Regard 12x75cl
Hints of white pepper and spice on the nose lead you to a delightful warm and forward mouthful of berry fruit compote, vanilla and liquorice. Excellent weight and texture with malleable tannins that make it very accessible in its youth, yet built for medium term enjoyment as well.
£170 / Case£14.17 / BottleDuty Status: In BondAvailability: En Primeur 2019 Domaine Durieu, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Lucile Avril 6x75cl
"80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. Aged for 1 month in concrete. Tank sample.
Tasted blind. Spicy nose with some dried herbal notes behind it and ripe raspberry fruit. Seductive mid palate and a blend of dark dense fruit, dates and liquorice. Chewy and plump finish." 15 pts., Alistair Cooper MW, jancisrobinson.com
