Finest* Teroldego IGT Vigneti Delle Dolomiti 2010

Red fruit aroma. Quite young tasting. Not terribly interesting at the moment.

Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore 2010
10.99
Very little aroma. This is a light and fruity style of chianti. Glug it back with pasta, but don't try and think about it.

Finest* Touriga Nacional 2011
7.79
Gorgeous aroma.  This is beautifully violetty. Wow! Pretty sweet taste, with the same violet flavour.  Like parma violets, actually. Lovely, but what to drink it with?

Gran Tesoro Garnacha 2011
4.29
Fruity nose. Nicely fruity taste. Juicy and a little savoury.  Excellent taste.

Finest* Old Vines Garnacha 2010
7.79
Lovely aroma. Quite sweet, perhaps too sweet.  Fruity and easy.

Finest* Old Vines Tempranillo 2010
7.79
Very sweet nose. Really syrupy sweet aroma. Spicy, oaky and with slightly furry tannin. Not that great.

Finest* Somontano 2010
6.99
Slightly strange on the nose, but not unpleasant. Disjointed palate.  Not great.

Finest* Viña Mara Rioja Reserva 2007
9.49
Fabulously inviting nose. The sort that makes you let out a little moan. Beautiful taste.  This wine works again and again. There is no point in looking elsewhere for Rioja under a tenner.

Finest* Viña Mara Gran Reserva 2004
13.79
Showing its age.  Quite brick red and the aroma is caramelised and savoury, with some warm compost (well-rotted). The tannin's completely smoothed out. This is savoury heaven.
