    To return to topic:

    2008 Château Vieux Manoir Bordeaux Supérieur.



    Situated in the Entre-Deux Mers region this wine uses Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon grapes.

    "Cherry, cedar, leather with a very dry finish. Dry tannins and slightly chalky".

    The redoubtable Jancis Robinson strongly advises this wine should only be drunk with food and not on its own! I'm inclined to agree.

    Decant and allow to breath for an hour. Must be served at the correct temperature 17 - 18°C.

    £6.99 Co-op

    in the words of earnest hemingway "got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks"

    not a drink to be taken lightly

    I've spent the last 5 hours driving, so I've put my feet up & poured myself a well earned glass of Brakspear's Triple.

    7.2% ! It wouldn’t take that many bottles to put me under the table.

    In turn let me introduce you to the

    2006 Château de l’Estang, Côtes de Castellion, Domain: Vinyards Bocquillon.



    Composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Suvignon. Situated 45km east of the city of Bordeaux, this is a new AOC, only designated since 1989.

    “Medium bodied, with a long silky finish”, the 2006 scores 85-87/100.

    Can be drunk now but would benefit from laying down for 3-4 years.

    £9 from the Co-op.
