Wyndham - Shiraz Bin 555
A consistent and very enjoyable wine, in line with my last tasting. Thoroughly recommended.

Vignol - Louisiane
Very similar to the last bottle with hints of cherry, caramel and tobacco. Remains a reasonable drinking wine.

Grand Bert
Bright ruby with a good claret appearance and depth of colour. Sweet and strong blackcurrant on the nose with pungent acidity and sweet wood shavings. Tastes of sweet black fruits, leather, creamy notes, minerals, coffee beans and a good length. Good acidity and tannin leading to a sticky/chewy wine with good body. This bottle was much better than the first one that I had and, based on this experience, I would buy more and give more room for improvement with a little aging.

Clos de Salles
The appearance of this bottle was slightly more opaque than the last. Smells of chocolate, caramel, black fruits and light smokiness. Tastes of coffee grinds with smoky notes but overall too much sourness in this bottle. Quite a fleshy body but with an over abundance of acidity and sourness.
