"Incredible aromas of spice, cedar, walnut and dark berry. Floral too. Spectacular nose. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a racy and refined finish. Fresh and succulent. Made from old vines of mablec in Compuertas and cabernet sauvignon from Altamira. Such finesse. Half the normal production. The best wine ever from the Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena winery." 98 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Anyone who can make wine whilst shells are exploding around them deserves recognition for their efforts. Serge Hochar and his team have been rewarded with a wine that is justifiably internationally recognised as one of the world's greats. This wine can age but you will have a hard job resisting its immediate charms. Grilled meat such as lamb is required here. High quality ingredients simply cooked will let both food and wine give maximum pleasure.

A juicy, textured, joyful red, with silky tannins and loads of purity. Notes of dark cherry and blackcurrant swirl from the glass, with plenty of floral notes and mint, too.

The untouchable heights of the Adrianna vineyard – Mendoza’s highest at an astonishing 5,000ft – is a marvel in Malbec production. Dense cherries and plums, the fruit purity is stunning and will last an age. Mineral concentration on the palate, dense but plenty of lift and expressive notes; lots of spice, pepper, the cool acidity is impressive. Sourced from 180 different rows of vines according to fruit quality, this is Malbec par excellence.

Les Murets comes from the commune of Villette. It’s a delicate, elegant expression of Chasselas: the perfect introduction to the grape. From sandy, chalky soils, it’s a mineral, floral wine, ideal with lighter dishes. Notes of rose petal and watermelon, and a lovely savoury lift on the finish. Very good value.

Made largely from Cabernet Sauvignon with some Cinsault and Syrah, ripeness is a hallmark of Musar. Sinewy yet mellow. A striking wine of real character.
