Those nice people at M&S have sent me a code (use once not transferable)for 20% discount. I am particularly keen to know of any Oz or NZ wines to buy as these are already 25% off.
Mrs DB and I drink more red than white so PN rather than SB.
PN Angst when out of my comfort zone:-
I've done some of the investigation for you. But need to do more before I capitalise on the 20% extra discount.
Mel liked the ClockTower PN 2006. very few other proper and reliable opinons are on the web. I'm not sure I trust NZ Air Awards that much, who are the judges ? Try Jancis for other NZ pinot reports.
Link to a good opinion:
http://www.bobswinereviews.com/wild-ear ... eview.htmlI have been trying to work out why the Seddon monopole, a Malborough single estate Pinot (*farming 6 different PN root stocks) hits many NZ awards,
but does not figure at the top, with many masters of wine.
The VM Seddon starts out at £22 and with both offers ends up at £13.20.
The Seddon is good for 5-15 years laying down per another MW, gets 17/20 per another MW who sits on the fence with his opinion, is an immaculately made wine - one has to consider New World brett ? If any at all, and dimension, mineral and spicy or herbaceous notes. ? so many facets to investigate. I could may be fancy the Seddon if I were to buy and then nail up in a french wooden box till 2013.
Who here knows the Seddon 2006 ?
I also have one of those email codes, and so does GK, cos he's bought at M&S and has written a review on their site.
*Trouble is, it aint nothing to do with roots stocks per se'. If GK knicked a cutting, creeping over the wall at La Tâche, I don't think it would work magic on his allotment
