Wimbledon Wine Cellar: The Best Selection of Fine Wine in London
90/100 William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "Exhibiting aromas of sweet red berries, peonies, forest floor and blood orange, Bouley's 2017 Pommard Village is medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, with a perfumed core of fruit, powdery tannins and a chalky finish.
91/100 William Kelley, Wine Advocate: "Bursting with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, dried flowers and raw cocoa, the 2017 Volnay Village is medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, its succulent core of fruit framed by exquisitely refined tannins and lively acids.
Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir is not overtly fruity, soft and “sweet” and it generally shows hints of that alluring “primal” character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume.

Claire Naudin's perfect Echezeaux is an embodiment of fine fruit and finesse that is seldom seen in this appellation. Power is not evident in this super bottling, it is replaced by finesse and a ballerina-like aroma of charm and cherries.
Save 25%. Brand new to the First Lady range, this is the first vintage of this wine, made using South Africa’s signature red varietal. Aged for 14 months in old oak, to add structure and body without overpowering the rich flavours of dark cherry, chocolate and rooibos tea.
Tasting notes: "Deep garnet-purple in color with a violet rim. Nose offers intense blueberry and rasberry notes, freshness of the blackcurrant bud perfectly combined with the spices of the wood (vanilla, toasted aromas).
This wine is a deep, intense red. Elegant on the nose, with aromas of black fruits (blueberry and blackberry) dominating the hint of spice. A remarkable fullness on the palate, with tannic chewiness and unexpected roundness. The long finish has vanilla delicacy. A delightful wine, both powerful and elegant.
Weather vagaries and Meerlust’s exacting quality requirements determine that not every vintage is worthy of our flagship red blend Rubicon. Thus is born, in rare years, our collector’s Meerlust Red 2019. The Red 2019 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged in French oak for 17 months.

Ripe, fleshy, right-bank Bordeaux made from a one hectare plot of 40 year old vine Merlot situated in the commune of Montagne-Saint-Emilion. Aromas of sweet red berries, blackcurrant, liquorice and cedary-spices.
Bordeaux... prepared like a Grand Cru. JAMES SUCKLING 93/100: "A delicious, savory red with blackcurrant, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied with fine, round tannins. Fresh and bright. It opens at the end and becomes chewy and intense."
A wine — structured, complex and delicious — to enjoy today
