Rare Wines

Generous but composed, with cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant layered over pepper, thyme and a quiet earthy note. The palate is dry and savoury, bringing dark fruit, fine spice and supple texture into a balanced finish. A short decant will help the blend open; serve with roast lamb, grilled sausages, braised beef, mushrooms or herb-led Provençal dishes.

A structured southern Rhône red with warm spice, subtle leather, cumin and dark blackberry. The palate is rich and ample, combining concentrated fruit with firm tannins and enough freshness to maintain balance. Dense but polished through the savoury finish, it should benefit from air and works well with roast lamb, braised beef, grilled sausages or herb-led dishes.
