Estela Perinetti Grand Vin 2019

Clara Johansson — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this for my 40th and honestly it was the highlight of the evening. Really well balanced — fruity but not sweet, if that makes sense? The finish just keeps going in a really pleasant way. At £40 it's not an everyday wine but for a special occasion it's spot on.

Isabella Rossi — Nice but maybe a touch steep

7/10

The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something interesting for a dinner party. It's good, proper grown-up red with loads of layers going on. Bit pricey for what it is though — I've had similar quality for closer to £30. Would still drink it again if someone else was buying.

Zara Al-Hassan — Perfect with a slow-cooked lamb

8/10

Picked this up after seeing it on a restaurant menu and wanting to try it at home. Warm and smooth with 14% that you genuinely don't notice, which is impressive. Made a big lamb shoulder and this was brilliant alongside it. Clean finish that just makes you want another glass.
