2007 White, drink-now
Mâcon-La Roche Vineuse, Olivier Merlin -- Olivier Merlin -- France
Chardonnay, 13% alc.
Olivier Merlin's La Roche Vineuse has a wonderful purity of fruit with minerality. Beautiful natural acidity with an elegant structure, a very refined wine.
(4/5 stars - decanter.com - Top wines from the Burgundy 2007 tasting)

The vines used for this cuvée average over 50 years of age, grown, vinified and matured with the same care as the finest white wines of the Cote d’Or, with 15 months barrel ageing in Olivier’s wonderfully cool cellars. The result is a truly exceptional wine which represents tremendous value at this price; this is one of the best buys of the vintage. 2007 was an early harvest in Burgundy, producing fine, mineral, crisp white wines.

2005 Red, drink-now
Ch. de Cazeneuve, Les Calcaires, Pic-Saint-Loup -- Château de Cazeneuve -- France
Southern Rhône Blend, 13.5% alc.
Eponymous chalky soils and a blend 50/30/20, of -respectively- Syrah (more Syrah than is usual in Pic-St. Loup), Grenache and Mourvèdre (André Leenhardt is a great fan and a craftsman of Mourvèdre) have created a wine rich in aroma and ripe red and black fruit. The nose sings notes from the garrigue, with thyme, lavender and truffle evidenced; on the palate there are rich blackberry notes underpinned by black olives and a mineral substratum. A superbly textured wine, oaked but not over oaked, powerful and distinctive, this will go well with pheasant or partridge.

2005 Red, drink-or-keep
Montefalco Rosso, 'Sololoro', Az. Agr. Fontecolle, Umbria -- Fontecolle -- Italy
Other Varieties, 13% alc.
The purist St James’s Street wine merchant Berry Bros & Rudd is not where you would expect to find a first- class list of Italians, but I loved the first vintage of this sangiovese grape-based red, topped up with tannic sagrantino and even given a Gallic boost of one quarter’s worth of merlot and cabernet sauvignon. The end blend is a surprisingly seductive and swiggable, yet still savage, herb, violet and blueberry-stashed red.

2004 Red, drink-or-keep
Smith & Hooper Cabernet/Merlot, Wrattonbully, S. Australia -- Yalumba -- Australia
Cab.Sauvignon Blend, 14% alc.
With intense alluring aromas of vanilla, violet and blackcurrant, this marvellous wine certainly doesn’t disappoint on the palate with rich complex flavours and a smooth, velvety texture.

2005 White, drink-or-keep
Shadowfax Chardonnay, Victoria -- Shadowfax -- Australia
Chardonnay, 13.5% alc.
Shadowfax’s Chardonnay fruit is sourced mainly from growers around Geelong, a coastal zone south-west of Melbourne, which benefits from long, cool autumns, bringing the flavours to full maturity. Unoaked, its citrus, nectarine, pear and grilled nut notes are kept in check by fine mineral acidity.
