Larrades Crianza 2012, Bodegas Ciceron, Rioja
Larrades Crianza is the latest wine from Bodegas Ciceron we have added to our portfolio. Being a Crianza, this means the wine has spent some time in oak and in this case, 14 months in barrels of 225 litres of French oak, followed by 8 months in the bottle.
Expect cherry-red hues in the glass. The aroma is red fruits, strawberry and raspberry and a little blackberry with soft notes of vanilla, cocoa, coconut and anise.
The palate is soft, warm and creamy (does anyone remember strawberry swirls?) with roasted coffee notes. This is a round wine with body and a long finish.
£10.95

Claymore ‘Nirvana’ Reserve Shiraz, 2012
£27.95Add to cartThis is the icon of legendary Claymore wines portfolio. You will never view a Shiraz in the same way.
This is a wine of elegance, finely structured and delicately balanced. Big juicy fruits are balanced by savoury, spicy elements in the mouth. Lusciously rich plums, blackberries and liquorice are wrapped in gently charry oak brought into line with crisp acidity. We only have a little left of this excellent 2010 vintage which we reserve for our private customers.

Maxwell, Ellen Street Shiraz, 2011
£23.95Add to cartCOLOUR AND NOSE
The colour of cherry red. This wine shows aromas of coffee and vanilla bean, violets, glacé fruits and cherries.
PALATE
Flavours of plum, chocolate, and blackberry are immediate in the first sip. This Shiraz shows clean minerality from the limestone sub soils and rich earthy characters through the middle palate offering intense concentration of fruit with soft velvety tannin to complete this wine.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
Given satisfactory cellaring conditions, it is expected this wine will drink particularly well at 6 to 8 years of age.
