Ahh Sablet from Roubine. Is there a more popular wine for PWS staff members? Just a glass full of joy with a serious edge. Dark fruits, cherry liqueur and cooked down raspberry vie with a blast of tapenade and hung meat and mineral. Rollicking and rich as it travels across the palate, the fruit is always there, as is the rusticity and savouriness innate in the breed, but it's winemaker Ughetto's special skill to retain all of that muscle and sinew and then somehow give the wine a more tempered tannin profile. Simply delicious as it always is and cans tand up to 8 years cellaring. MICHAEL MCNAMARA
A touch of mulberry, wild forest fruits, fresh smashed berries, and a hint of creme de mure. Some of the heady perfume from last year is dialled down a little here but still a lovely cadence of sweet and savoury spice. Plush and ripe fruit but synched in with some fresh acidity and some lithe tannins that detail the finish that gives the wine some lovely buoyancy. Tidy little package this year. JAMES SUCKLING
