Château Marzy Pomerol 2014
Christmas Cellar, Red, ValentinesBordeaux Pomerol wines are rich, decadent reds, with notes of chocolate, dark cherry, plums and spice, soft tannins and elegance courtesy of the Merlot grape. The most lush—and expensive—wines come from a plateau of clay, gravel and iron, while lighter, more acidic wines come from the region's sandy soils. Situated on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Pomerol is dominated by small estates that command premium prices. Approximately 80 percent of the region's plantings are Merlot, unlike other regions of Bordeaux where no one grape dominates so singularly; and one disadvantage is that bad weather can wreak havoc on an individual vintage.£49.99 -
EL PICARO – Matsu
Red, Valentines, Wine & SpiritsPicaro means 'rogue' or 'rascal', and this rapscallion of a wine is a youthful interpretation of the Toro region's style. The grapes come from mature vines of over 50 years of age, but the wine spends only three months in oak, preserving their natural fruit profile. Vivid crimson-purple in the glass. Aromas are of ripe blackberries and raspberries, with subtle hints of fresh cocoa. The palate is bold yet supple, with ripe tannins and a mineral grip. Enjoy on its own or with boldly flavoured pasta dishes or spicy meat skewers.£12.99 -
EL RECIO – Matsu
Christmas Cellar, Red, Valentines, Wine & SpiritsEl Recio translates as 'the tough guy', and is a more serious, mature wine, made from the product of some of Toro's oldest vines, which are cultivated using advanced biodynamic techniques. 14 months in new French oak provide opulence and polish. Intense and opaque, this wine is a mass of deep black fruit, chocolate, roasted coffee bean and vanilla pod aromas. Voluptuous and weighty, with a firm structure, held together by silky tannins. A great steak wine, which longs to be paired with rare asado-style beef fillet or sirloin. Drink now or keep for 2-5 years.£16.99 -

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2013
Fine Wine, Red, Valentines, Wine & SpiritsST HENRI
St Henri is loved by generations of wine collectors, providing an time-honoured expression of shiraz. A rich and plush wine when young, gaining soft, arthy, mocha-like characters as it ages.
The nose is full of blackberry fruit, opening up to elements of mocha, espresso bean and tapenade. The medium-bodied, savoury palate is gentlemanly and restrained, yet builds slowly on to the back palate, filling the mouth with dark fruit compôte, spice and a silky tar note. A touch broader-shouldered than last year’s offering, this still has all the poise and balance we expect from this reassuringly “old style” Shiraz.£94.99£74.99 -

Bodega Norton Privada Family Blend 2018
Red, Valentines, Wine & SpiritsIn a nutshell: A rich and powerful Argentinian blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The lowdown: Privada has long been one of Bodega Norton's most well known wines and, rather than just being a straight Malbec it's a blend with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with the grapes coming from old vines between 50 and 80 years of age. It's aged for 16 months in French oak barrels which gives a smooth, velvety character that balances the full body very well. It has rich aromas of dark berry fruits and a great concentration of ripe fruit flavours with a touch of smoke and coffee. Nicely complex with a good structure and grippy tannins that lead to the lengthy finish. When to drink: Rich, smooth and elegant it's just great alongside robust barbecued meats like a rib-eye steak.£23.99 -
La Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe 2015
Christmas Cellar, Fine Wine, Red, ValentinesSaint-Estèphe wines are powerful, concentrated and rich, with sometimes austere, gritty tannins in their youth, and hallmark notes of cassis, tobacco, cigar box and crushed stone. These full-bodied blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can age extremely well. Saint-Estèphe is situated in the northern end of Bordeaux's Haut-Médoc, with grapes grown on gravel soils atop a clay base. The soils here have poor drainage, which delays ripening and often results in wines with a higher acidity than those from further south in the Médoc.£53.99 -
