“The 2018 Branaire-Ducru has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and an upfront, expressive nose of baked black plums, boysenberries and Morello cherries with an undercurrent of dried mint, spice box and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate packs a very pleasant fruit wallop, featuring juicy black fruits and a firm, grainy frame, finishing long with lovely purity.” – Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate

Château Teynac, Saint-Julien 2016
R575.00 inc. VAT
"Château Teynac is a Saint Julien unlike any other. Its grape varieties are traditional for Medoc wines: a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (28%) and Petit Verdot (2%): a proportion varying slightly depending on the vintage at the time of blending. The vines used to produce it are surrounded by those classified as Cru which constitute 95% of the appellation." - Winemaker's notes
Château Cantemerle Haut-Médoc 2019
R730.00 inc. VAT
The 2019 Cantemerle has a fruit-driven bouquet with opulent blackberry and blueberry fruit, certainly one of the most floral in the flight with pressed violets developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins, fleshy and rounded, though I am looking for more tension and precision on the finish. This is a really fabulous Cantemerle that surely represents outstanding value. No excuse not to have this in your cellar. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. - Neal Martin, Vinous
Château Tour Sieujean, Pauillac 2017
R494.99 inc. VAT
"The 2017 Tour Sieujean has a well-defined bouquet with focused blackberry and cranberry fruit, a touch of pencil lead in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, a crisp line of acidity, nicely poised with a touch of blackberry and cassis towards the finish. I have rated wines from this estate highly in the past and this is another very commendable wine from this little-known estate." - Neal Martin, Vinous
