Much better than the last few vintages. Well chilled this is light/medium bodied ( no hint of oak ). Flavours of blackcurrant leaf and tropical fruit. Quite intense. No harshness and not at all tart. Well done Ben Glover ! |

The Reach 2008 at Tesco is down to £5.69. It was a bit coarse and hard work when it was released but has mellowed into the same wine as the 2007 now. Sainsbury have replaced Jackson Estate with Sacred Hill. Bastards ! |

Right on Goose, you tell them B**stards.Sainsbury have replaced Jackson Estate with Sacred Hill. Bastards ! Goose if you award the Reach 2008 (now settled down) a proper..... I will cancel the Crossings 2007 and pick up an order - Tesco have given me two 10 quid check-out codes recently. They must be desperate |

Dunc, i've had two bottles this last week and both were identical to the 2007. I've bought two cases at £5.69. I think there may be an extra 5% off per case if you buy online and I think it's delivery free at the moment. I prefer this to The Crossings. The Crossings is nice though. Will get back to you on the Laroche Premier Cru |

Just had a big glass of the WH 2008 with lunch* and it's drinking beautifully. On offer at Waitrose I believe for just under £6. It's been on offer a while so be quick if you want it. Blackcurrant and grapefruit with a lovely long aftertaste of capsicum ( if not served too cold ) No sign at all of the 10% oak...most unusual for WH to be so restrained and ethereal. I might order a couple of cases as it's about to be replaced by the (hopefully even better) 2009. Classic and gorgeous. G * I had the fish, Dunc, I had the fish.... |
