Cottonworth Classic Cuvee

Kenji Watanabe — Solid red, needs time to open up

7/10

Don't drink this straight away — it needs a good 20 minutes to breathe before it really gets going. Once it opens up though the fruit comes through nicely and there's a savoury thing going on at the end that I liked. Good but not mindblowing.

Wei Zhang — Really impressed with this one

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down really well. Lovely dark fruit flavours and it's got this nice structure to it without being too heavy. At £30 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for a special occasion.

Tyler Bennet — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

Got this as a birthday present for myself and really glad I did. It's got proper depth to it — dark berries and something almost savoury underneath. Had it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was perfect. 14% but doesn't taste boozy at all which is a plus.
