2008, La Rosine Syrah, Vin de Pays, Domaine Michel et Stephane Ogier
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
With vibrant, exuberant red and black-berried fruit on the back of heady yet ethereal, aromatic notes of bacon rind, violets and tapenade, this has sublime balance and quality of fruit, and is unparalleled as a Vin de Pays. Drink 2010-2013.

2008, Lirac, La Reine des Bois, Domaine de la Mordoree
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
We were particularly impressed by this Lirac in 2008. La Reine des Bois has a majestic colour and come-hither nose, which marries spice-box and macerated fruit, then a palate which is poised and very complete; completely delicious in fact! Drink 2011-2014.

Ch. de Beaucastel itself is for me the epitome of Chateauneuf.

2008, Gigondas, La Terre Des Aines, Domaine Montirius
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
This is a silky smooth wine. Juicy, sweet fruit dominates the generous, spicy nose whilst the traditional Gigondas grip is in evidence on the finish, but with gloriously ripe tannins. Hints of hedgerow fruit and black cherries add complexity to the harmonious, long finish. Drink 2011-2016.

2008, Crozes-Hermitage, Les Lises, Domaine Maxime Graillot
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
A late harvest, low yields and short vinification has produced a very fine and very pure wine with clean, focused berry fruit and a pleasing peppery twist at the end. Drink 2010-2013.

2008, Crozes-Hermitage, Les Trois Chenes, Domaine Emmanuel Darnaud
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
We started getting a little flamboyant with our prose when it came to assessing this wine. It had been a long day and the words that came out included ‘bovril’, ‘tapenade’ and ‘panther’; the last was presumably poetic conceit for a dark, brooding presence. Be ...

2008, Crozes-Hermitage, Domaine Laurent Combier
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
From vines close to those of Alain Graillot in Pont de l’Isère, Laurent farms at low yields, especially so in 2008. The resulting wine is concentrated with the traditional Crozes imprint of berry fruit and olive pleasingly wrapped in a silky ensemble. Drink 2010-2012.

2008, Gigondas, La Gille, Domaine Perrin Pere et Fils
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
La Gille has great elegance with notes of soft fruit, sweet black cherries and hints of chocolate. The wine is fine-boned with the emphasis very much on fruit rather than structure. This is a very pure and approachable Gigondas. Drink 2011-2015.

2008, Gigondas, Tradition, Domaine Santa Duc
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
All of the top fruit has gone into one cuvée this year; the result, unsurprisingly, is very concentrated and long with a red and black berry fruit core courtesy of the Grenache, tempered by Syrah elegance and Mourvèdre power. This is a Southern Belle to be sure, and one with plenty ...

2008, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise, Domaine des Bernadins
New wines - 19 min 47 sec ago
The Bernardins style falls at the more unctuous end of the spectrum, its notes of Seville orange, apricot and quince making it an ideal partner for fruit tart or even Roquefort cheese. This is an absolutely beautiful wine. Drink 2010-2016.

2008, Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc, Cotes du Rhone, Ch. de Beaucastel
New wines - 3 hours 37 min ago
The addition of Viognier and Marsanne in the Coudoulet white blend lend, respectively, floral elegance and definition of texture despite, for whatever reason, not being permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Notes of pebble-stones, quince, white pepper, peach and pear all play a part in ...
