Two of the bottles advertised were substituted for... This and an Albarino- Val do Salnes '09. My first thoughts are one of delight, I considered the Fiano '08 to be the weak link of the original case, happy to see that one leave the party. Have now found the Albarino |

This was the original case- http://www.marksandspencer.com/Luxury-F ... 1292513138 A touch dissapointed to loose the Touraine but I do love Albarino. |

The Chablis is meant to be good. So we lose the Fiano and Touraine and gain the Prehy Chablis and an Albarino. Slightly bizarre as the Touraine appears in stock. I am pleased about the Chablis, no idea on Albarino. Never tried it. I would have been gutted if we had lost the Saint Veran. I am presuming I will get the same wines. |

Jancis Robinson noted the Chablis recently. J M Brocard, Dom Pierre de Prehy 2008 Chablis Firm nose with real vitality. Classic stuff, and really revitalising and dry. Couldn’t complain about this! Textbook 2008 Chablis. 12.5% £12.99 Marks & Spencer Link |

I love that virtually all of us bought this case. Credit to you, GK. Maybe there is a candidate for the much feted online tasting. |

Hi, my Int Premium whites Q4 (its says) has arrived. Having read your posts, I immediately got out the stanley to see..... GK - your assessment ? We have been upgraded would you say ? To loose that particular '09 Touraine for the albarino is a small minus. To gain the Brocard dom pierre prehy chablis for the Fiano is a bigger plus, so on balance, I'd say we are ......... Tribs - yeah, to loose the old vine Saint Veran would've be a downer Ba - you are an Albarino fan ? Or no. But you get Brocard's text book chab says Jancis Yeah, I'm totally in accord with you guys, and pretty damn chuffed with GK's expertise. I recon I believe him now on all his conquests - which tribs doesn't know about........yet.
Tribs, this guy has found and bought Meursault and Beaune for £5 quid in the past ! Anyway....onwards and upwards Nice 1 - GK, très bien monsieur - happy Crimble. |
