Olivia Wong VIPsAllowed - Solid red, bit steep though
7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this and it's nice, don't get me wrong. Big and fruity with some spice and herby notes. But £37.50 is a lot and I'm not sure it does enough more than wines at the £20-25 mark to justify it.

8/10

This is exactly what I want to drink on a dark evening in front of the fire. Got chocolate and plum vibes, smooth tannins, and that black pepper on the finish is gorgeous. Treat yourself.

6/10

Had this at a friend's place. It's a decent heavy red — lots of dark berry flavour and quite dry. Personally I found it a bit too intense for my taste, I usually go for something lighter. Not bad though, just not really my thing.

9/10

I've been getting more into Loire reds lately and this Chateau De Plaisance is probably my favourite so far. The dark fruit is so concentrated and the finish just goes on and on. Dry, peppery, zero sweetness. Loved every glass of it.

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it was a massive hit. Really rich dark fruit — plum and blackberry mostly — with this lovely peppery kick at the end. Went perfectly with the beef stew I made. Would definitely buy again.

7/10

My partner got me this for my birthday. Really enjoyed it with a lamb roast — the herbs and spice in the wine matched the food brilliantly. Full bodied and satisfying. Not something I'd buy every week at that price but a lovely bottle for a special occasion.
