- Nice but a bit steep
It's a good wine, don't get me wrong, but nearly £24 feels like a lot when you can get something similar for less. The fruit is generous and it's well made, but I wasn't blown away enough to buy it again at that price. Would happily drink it if someone else was pouring though!

- Proper French red, no messing about
The guy at the wine shop recommended this and he was spot on. Big flavours but everything's in balance — the fruit, the acidity, all of it just works together. Had a glass on its own first then finished the bottle with steak and chips. Would definitely get it again.

- Really solid southern French red
Picked this up from my local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. Lovely rich fruit but not one of those heavy reds that knocks you out — there's a nice freshness to it that keeps you going back for more. Had it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was perfect.

- Great dinner party bottle
Bought two of these for a dinner party and they went down really well. It's got that warm, confident thing going on without being too boozy even at 14%. A couple of friends asked me where I got it, so that's always a good sign.
