Cotes du Rhone Belleruche, M Chapoutier 2009 £8.99 Majestic
Sweet, berry fruit. Bright, juicy acidity. Very drinkable. Begging for food.

Cotes du Rhone, Vidal Fleury 2009 £8.74 Majestic
Simple fruits on the nose. Lovely taste. Dark, moody, appealing taste. Good

St Joseph, Vidal Fleury 2009 £18.99 Majestic
A little black pepper on the nose. Mmm, nice taste. Pretty full, almost weighty. Vibrant, but has weight in the mouth. Like it, but have only just clocked the price. Damn.

Gigondas, Dom de Notre Dames des Pallieres 2009 £10.99 Majestic
Heavy bottle. 15%. Not a lot on the nose. Pretty sweet taste. Disjointed and unbalanced.
