  Hampshire N Rhone Feast (Chesil Rectory): Colour - garnet, no bricking. On the nose - hint of earth, maybe some black fruits, clean as a whistle. On the palate - again - clean as a whistle, it’s a product of the soil, felt I struggled to engage with it after the thrilling cornas but this is a really good wine, full of character and a sense of place, and a treat to taste.

  Christmas Wimps (La Tromplette, Chiswick): Opaque ruby/garnet. Dark fruit, iron, smoke - a touch reticent on the nose. Deep, savoury black fruit on the medium/full bodied palate, good length finish with some slightly firm tannin showing. ***1/2

  Dark red color, encouraging. Nose is leathery and well-fruited; still young for an eighteen year old Rhone. On arrival, lots of soft tannin and balanced acidity. A midlife Hermitage in the mouth, big fruit and big roasted meat. Medium lenght and medium intensity finish. No hurry on this one. Bottle one of one.

  Excellent. Developing secondary aromas. Great structure and elegance. It can be drunk now. However, I think it will peak in five years.

  Great wine. Leather, complex, good acidity, a lit tart! Has a few years ahead, but very good to drink now.
