\"MoreMagJan2013\"<\/a>\"Le<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Le Clos Jordanne Claystone Terrace Pinot Noir<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Niagara, Twenty Mile Bench<\/p>\n

This is my favourite wine from this winery, year after year. Its exuberant energy and power come from a complex weave of nuances: truffles, black cherry, violets, cedar box and dark spices. Brooding and temperamental: love it! Drink:\u00a02011-2019.\u00a0 33951\u00a0 13%\u00a0\u00a0 $35.00\u00a0 Score:\u00a094\/100<\/p>\n

\"Wolf<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wolf Blass Grey Label Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Langhorne Creek, Australia<\/p>\n

Deserves every penny of this not so inexpensive price point. Common splurge and enjoy yourself: aren’t you worth it? Deep, brooding aromas of black fruit, smoke and fleshy plums. Bring it on! Pair\u00a0with:\u00a0buffalo steak, angus beef, game, saddle of lamb chops, grilled lamb chops with olive oil drizzled over feta cheese.\u00a0 470120\u00a0 14%\u00a0\u00a0 $35.00\u00a0 Score:\u00a090\/100.<\/p>\n

\"Domaine<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Domaine De Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem M. Chapoutier<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u00f4tes Du Roussillon-Villages Latour De France, Midi, France<\/p>\n

Rich, velvet fleshy black raspberries loll over your tongue and release their juicy flavour as you move the wine around in your mouth. Full-bodied and pleasurable. Close your eyes. Drink:\u00a02012-2018.\u00a0 643239\u00a0 14%\u00a0 $24.95\u00a0 Score:\u00a093\/100.<\/p>\n
