Sardelli Chianti 2007

Producer: Sardelli
Name: Chianti
Vintage: 2007
Category: Red Wines
Country: Italy
Grapes: NA
Rating: 7/10

Review:

This is an excellent Italian Chinati, smell fresh with strong berry aroma, and the colour is a deep red.

The taste is not spicy like most Chainti I tried, Although it's a young wine, the strong flavour with a bit of bitterness made it seem like an old vintage wine.

I don't usually chose Chinati or Italian wines, but this one is an exception, really worth trying it out, as it won't disappoint you.

Chateau Marquis de la Grange Bordeaux 2007

Producer: Château Marquis de la Grange
Name: Bordeaux
Vintage: 2007
Category: Red Wines
Country: France
Grapes: Claret
Rating: 5/10

Review:

The smell of this wine has an excellent wooden fruit aroma, the wine colour looks rich like dark chocolate.

As for taste it's a bit spicy, and ends with a oak flat bitterness, no matter how I drink it, the taste can not compare to a good Bordeaux.

Cost around £7 in most supermarket, really you can't get drinkable Bordeaux better cheaper than this.

McGuigan Estate Shiraz 2008

Producer: McGuigan Wines LTD
Name: Mc.Guigan Estate South Australia Shiraz
Vintage: 2008
Category: Red Wines
Country: Australia
Grapes: Shiraz
Rating: 6/10

Review:

This a a srew cap Shiraz by McGuigan, the producer is a famous brand, producing Australian wines for years, and Shraiz is one of their speciality.

This is a full bodied Shariz, with blackcurrant flavour, this wine also gave a oak effect, not too bad for a Shariz.

Bought this bottle of wine from Somerfield, it is half price for £4.99, was expecting a lot, but it was a disappointment, still an enjoyable wine.

Jacob's Creek Sparkling Rose Dry Cuvee

Producer: Jacob's Creek
Name: Sparkling Rosé Dry Cuvée
Vintage: N/A
Category: Sparkling Rose
Country: Australia
Grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Rating: 6/10

Review:

Thia specially bottle fermented sparking wine is fresh and crispy, It's really easy to drink, and full of sweetness.

However the sparkles were weak, and the flavour is not strong, but it makes up for it with the mellow honey aftertaste.

You can't compare it to Champagne, but for a cheap Sparking Rose Champagne alternative, this will be worth buying.

Marie Henry Brut Champagne 1999 Vintage

Producer: Marie Henry
Name: Champagne Brut Vintage
Vintage: 1999
Category: Champagne
Country: France
Grapes: N/A
Rating: 8/10

Review:

This champagne is real creamy, and strong mellow chocolate flavour, this was a really underrated wine.

I was drinking my last bottle, it was bought two years ago, and surprisingly the bubbles from the champagne is still rushing as if it's fresh champagne.

The last time I checked it was selling around 30 something at Morrison, for this price it's a must for vintage champagne lovers, sepcial something for Valentine Day.
