Chateau Cap Leon Veyrin 2015
The nose is very rich in black fruit aromas, with delicate notes of toasted bread and roasted coffee. Well-balanced and ample on the palate. The tannic structure is silky and velvety.

For easy drinking at home - a beautiful Bordeaux. Gold-medal winner Chateau les Roquettes St Emillion 2016 Grand Cru. A Wimbledon Wine Cellar's favourite, now in limited supply. Buy the last of the '16 which is excellent to drink now.
A generous, structured wine. It has ripe black fruits in profusion that are held together by the serious layer of tannins. Rich and concentrated, the wine will age for many years.
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Appellation: Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Drink: From 2024
A joint venture between the owner of Chateau Angelus and Chateau Lamothe Bergeron. This has to be one of the best value-for-money Bordeaux wines we’ve tasted this year. Introduced to us from friends in Bordeaux but with the hallmark of Chateau Angelus, this is a plummy, ripe wine.
93/100 Greg Sherwood MW: "The 2016 vintage is one of the greatest vintages in Bordeaux in 2 or 3 decades. With a little air, this wine starts to unwind and reveal a great aromatic presence with lifted layers of sweet violets and purple lavender perfume.
Château Turcaud Cuvée Majeure Rouge Bordeaux Supérieur AOC is rich, concentrated, fleshy and ripe, with freshness. The 2015 vintage won the gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris in 2017.
"So much purity and definition, this is a beautiful wine with clarity of flavour. Touches of grilled almond and rosemary, mocha, smoke and coffee bean, there is so much freshness, with juice rushing in between the muscles and a mint leaf finish. 3.78pH, 60% new oak. Yields were 25-30hl/ha.
