S5 VDT - £9.39Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.''Sensational, reminiscent of Cote Rotie'' wrote Wine magazine of this gorgeous exclusive. This wonderfully pure, jet black Syrah comes at a far more friendly price than its #20-a-bottle counterpart. S5 is one of the most delicious black Syrahs you'll find anywhere - legend Andre Roux has been harvesting grapes since he was in short trousers, and hand selects only the best fruit to create S5. Expert, no-expense-spared winemaking culminates in luxurious ageing in oak barrels giving a smooth roundness to all that dark fruit power. Despite quality that rivals the fine Syrahs of the northern Rhone, wine laws in the south mean 100% Syrah can only be sold as humble Vin de Table, no matter how good. Smoky aromas of violets, black pepper and ripe brambles, joined by flavours of rich, spicy plum, blackcurrant fruits and a touch of cinnamon. Deep and velvety, enjoy with shepherd's pie, char-grilled steak or roast lamb.

Reserve du Prevot 2004 - £9.49Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.Where better to look for an exceptional quality Rhone red than one of the region's greatest estates - Chateau du Beaucastel, which makes ''arguably the ultimate Chateauneuf-du-Pape'' (Sunday Express), ''the wines are inimitable'' says Decanter magazine. And Reserve du Prevot, the Perrin brothers' very fine Cotes-du-Rhone, owes its celebrated depth of flavour to the ripe, handpicked Syrah and Grenache grapes from prime vineyards right next door to Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This ''full-bodied, mini Chateauneuf-du-Pape'' (The Sunday Times) is the pinnacle of what can be achieved in the appellation. Rich, mouthfilling ripe bramble fruit with a long balanced finish. Wonderfully expressive of the wild, herby southern French countryside. This wine comes 'highly recommended' by The Guardian and The Sunday Times, orders for twelve bottles are delivered in wooden cases.
Porta Dos Cavaleiros Reserva 1997 - £9.49Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.Great news for lovers of richly flavoured, venerable reds - a complex, mouthfilling taste of history ... precious 1997 Reserva from an acclaimed cellar in Portugal. When the Porta dos Cavaleiros cellar was sold, the new owners found this fine Reserva in a dark and dusty corner. Approaching its mature peak, this grand old '97 needed a deserving home ... and they immediately thought of us. This wine is a real treat for anyone who appreciates wines with a sense of place and history. It comes from the ancient D?o region, south-east of Porto, and is made from the fruit of low-yielding, 30-year-old vines. Then there's the label, made from cork (Portugal is the world's leading cork supplier) and an interesting conversation point at the dining table. Lovely ruby colour, fading to an aged, brick red rim. Forest fruit aromas with mature, savoury notes followed by dried red fruit flavours and an evolved, gamey richness. Great with casseroles or light game dishes.
Clos de Mont-Rachet 2005 - £9.49Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.''One of the claims to greatness of Burgundy 2005 is the wonderful Macon-Villages whites'' - The Times Burgundy fans look to Macon-Villages for fine Chardonnay at a great price.

Here in 2005 Alain Pierre made his best Mont-Rachet yet, exceptionally pure and wonderfully concentrated. Alain is a Chardonnay specialist extraordinaire winning both the French and International Chardonnay Trophies at the 2006 International Wine Challenge (although as a modest man he attributed all his success to his team and the fantastic Macon Villages terroir).
