White
2014 Bellow's Rock Chenin Blanc South Africa, Coastal Region
85 points
Unoaked, nice juicy freshness and minerality, some varietal character on the nose but not a lot, finishes with sweet fruit and a hint of honey. Easy drinking.
Red
2010 Château Cordet France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
89 points
Generous style, light structure, good ripe yet fresh fruit (blueberry, raspberry), floral lift, gentle tannins, very approachable and forward but with a nice gravelly elegance, well-integrated oak provides a touch of spice, fresh acidity carriea the finish to good length. Attractive wine, for drinking now and over the next five years.

2011 Enate Somontano Cabernet-Merlot Spain, Aragón, Somontano
86 points
Six months in French and American oak, 14.5% ABV. Juicy, fresh, supple, sweet-and-savoury, hint of spice, high alcohol for its light body, easy but not inconsequential.
White - Off-dry

88 points
50 cl bottle. Roses, musk, spice, ripe grapes, subtle botrytis, delicately sweet, low acidity but juicy fruit, nice bitters, good length.
