Pol Roger is my favourite of the large champagne houses. I ordered some from Australia to be delivered to my family who i would be staying with. Service was excellent. Thanks Whelan’s Wines, i’ll definitely order with you again
Very strong on the nose, smelling of overripe fruit; you can feel the 14% alcohol. On the palate it is much more balanced, but still a powerful wine, with significant grip, notes of dark fruit, leather, maybe a touch of tobacco, and generally a bit wild. Can tolerate very strong flavours of food. Chargrilled meat? Sure! Salt and vinegar crisps? No problem! Overall, well worth a punt, even for old-world skeptics!
A Juicy and round Malbec with soft tannins and some interesting, slightly vegetal notes adding more freshness and complexity. Enjoyed lightly chilled with a traditional roast chicken and some Provencal style roasted vegetables!
Have not tried the Segredos 2023 bottle yet but it always hits the right note, a top Portuguese red wine. I found Darren and staff very welcoming and organised. The wine came well presented with a hand written card - nice touch 👌 they are going from strength ti strength there and nice to see a restaurant alongside the wine shop. They are a classy operation, all the best guys
Beautiful Chardonnay champagne. Excellent service from Whelehans. They go the extra mile to satisfy customers .
