Has aromas of leather, flowers, chalk, forest fruit and mint. Its medium bodied solid chalky blue, red and black fruits palate has excellent depth and finishes mediumish, fresh, tapering and gripping. 13.5%. Needs 60/90 mins aeration. Drink in next couple of years.

Has fragrant aromas of plums, chocolate, blackberries, flowers, chalk and mint. Its medium bodied spherical, solid yet elegant plush oak infused blue and black fruits palate has got good layering. Ends medium long and fresh with typical raised acidity. 13.5%. I gave this 3 hours aeration. Drink up in the next 3-4 years.

Good colour, still youthful. Smells of ladies perfume, elegant and fresh, lots of dried herb and savouriness. The palate is medium body, good concentration of blueberry fruit, a slightly austere finish but a wine I like. Super value wine for about £11.

Big, rich black fruit on the nose, with nice herbal notes, and hints of chocolate and crème de mûre. Quite a big palate, with ripe blackberry fruit and a chocolatey richness. But there's also a freshness and an elegance which really lifts it. Firm, chewy tannins on the finish.

Classic cahors body with lots of dust, earth, sole of my old shoe. Leather and tobacco tones, long finish. Great with foie gras and duck with truffle; dangerous for most mortal meals. Great long finish (or is that my teeth turning purple?)

Black liquorice and herb on the nose. Juicy but dry palate. Rock solid malbec.

Oak prominent here, there's some pleasant dustiness. Great QPR.
