CH. LA CANORGUE 2005 AC Côtes du Luberon ORGANIC
Wonderful red from Provence, mainly Syrah (70%), with Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre. Delicious fresh fruit, making this excellent to drink now but can also be
cellared for at least a decade - a bottle of the 1992 drunk recently was in absolutely top form.

SAUSSIGNAC Cuvée Noble 2003 Ch. Richard (Sweet wine) ORGANIC 50 cl. bottles
Similar to Sauternes. Fabulous flavour: rich, sweet, with botrytis. Will stand comparison with anything at this price.

Rhone Wines
CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE (Rouge) 1999 Domaine de Marcoux ORGANIC
This wine ages magnificently. A lighter, less beefy style, but wears its 14% alcohol with elegance and balance. A bottle of this tasted recently displayed tannins that are still very firm - this needs keeping a while yet.

Red Burgundy (and a Rosé)
"LE SANG ROUGE DE LA TERRE" 2005 ORGANIC
AC Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire
Domaine Bernard van Berg
Extraordinary wine: amazingly sweet entry (indicating ripeness), smoky, spicy flavour, with wonderful full finish. Could do with cellaring, though I like it now!
