    Powerful

    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!

    Delicious modern style Cahors

    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!

    Segredos 2023

    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

    Perfect Blanc de Blancs

    Beautiful Chardonnay champagne. Excellent service from Whelehans. They go the extra mile to satisfy customers .

    Oh dear

    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.

    Light, summery red

    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 an incredible wine

    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."

    magnificent

    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 tasting white wine. Fruity & deliciousess drinking wine….lovely legs….msg enjoyable.

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