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 .

We really love SA cabs, like Kanonkop, Lanzerac, and Thelema. At €28 this is big let-down. Nothing of note, either on fruit, acid or tannin. Tastes like a wine that costs less than a tenner.

This is a light ish red (12.5%), but with a little bit of tannin, making it feel like a good red for an Irish summer. It comes across as something between a Grenache and maybe a beujolais, but have others refer to this grape as being similar to Italian Nebbiolos. It’s not my favourite kind of red, but it’s eminently drinkable and very well made.

It's a perfectly well-balanced Tempranillo. Ripe red fruit with hints of spice and a gentle touch of wood. Tannins are smooth, still slightly granular, balanced with a juicy and spiced mouth feeling acidity. Long and pleasant finishing. El Ribazo is made from the best vineyards of our exclusive producer Bodegas de La Marquesa."

opened it on a sunny summer's evening, with a view to having a tasting glass. I was "assaulted" with a torrent of flavours - who would have thought the humble gamay grape could be so spectacular?! I took a chance on it and have to say, it is a fabulous wine. @27 euros, very good value.

Very classic for chill out days

A lovely fruity taste. Kept on drinking over several glasses.

heard Jean Smullen give glowing review on Moncrieff's Movies & Booze segment on Newstalk. She was spot on!
