A soft easy drinking style with purity of fruit and the spice indicative of tempranillo from Rioja.

Intense ruby colour with violet hints. Aroma of red fruits with a hint of vanilla. Soft tannins and well balanced.
44. Domaine du Seuil Rouge; Première Côtes de Bordeaux (France) D
Bottle ¦ £35.50
The ripe and spicy nose carries through to the palate and is beautifully balanced by plum and cedar wood flavours. This vineyard, owned by Welshman Bob Watts, proudly displays the Welsh dragon on each of its bottles.
45. Chateauneuf du Pape 1996; Chateau de Beaucastel (France) E
Bottle ¦ £95.00
Lots of unintergrated caramel & toffee aromas with massive brooding fruit and a lovely touch of coffee. The palate is just gorgeous with velvety yet powerful fruit components with tannins surprisingly only showing up on the peppery finish.
Note: We strive to incorporate a wide variety of wines on our wine list, covering a range of grapes, regions and prices. Unfortunately we are unable to offer corkage.
