July 26, 2022 - This is probably my "Bordeaux of the year" - 15 quid and this is layered with flavours and aromas that you have no right to expect at this price. Classic Graves - crushed rock, dry earth, cigar box - and then classic 2016 - all that delicious fruit that is plump but not fat. The finish has a damp-clay, cool black fruit element to it. It feels like a grown up wine at student prices. Superb.

Happy hunting dear alco-friend. -
