2004 Moët & Chandon Champagne Grand Vintage 92 Points
France, Champagne
Recognisable Grand Vintage house style, lovely Meunier richness, close to the 2002 but fresher obviously, silky-smooth, stylish.

2006 Les Clos Perdus Corbières Mire La Mer 92 Points
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Corbières
Mourvedre with Grenache and some Carignan, 14% ABV. Deep and impressive nose, open and expressive, black fruit, rosemary and thyme, minerals, flowers (lilies and violets), very clean and precise, barely noticeable oak provides warmth, hint of leather; soft and silky attack, real old-vine creaminess, wonderful freshness and balance, seamless but with perfect tannic grip, elegant; very good length, precise finish. Its age does it justice.

2011 Rui Reguinga Tejo Tributo 88 Points
Portugal, Ribatejo, Tejo
A blend of 85% Syrah, 10% Grenache and 5% Viognier. Very young but it suits the wine, slightly lactic nose, fresh, lovely depth, primary peppery and sweet black fruit from the Syrah, softened and lifted by the Viognier, spice; rich palate, flavoursome, creamy, soft, low tannin, easy but with a mineral undertow and the right tannic grip; good length. Lacks the complexity for a higher score but very attractive.
