Tasting note
Gold Medal = Challenge International du Vin
Very complex, with notes of walnut, figs and raisins and a voluptuous lingering sweetness and rich fruit-cake, and a hint of cappuccino. On the palate there is plum fruit and a cool orangy note. Plenty of depth pushes through on the mid-palate, with chocolate and spice - a terrifically long, spicy, warming finish. Limited availability.

Wine note
Wines in this blend are 10 to 14 years old on average. A blend from two warehouses, the cooler Câmara de Lobos being gentler and more aromatic, and the warehouse in São Martinho being more concentrated through higher evaporation levels whilst in Canteiro.

Producer note: Berbeito

Le Fleuron, 2005, Heritage (Dr Dargham Elias Touma), £7.5 Lebanon, Red
Best in class - IWSC 2008 Unoaked blend that's terrific value for money, with great class and some power on the palate. Can be enjoyed with/without food and perfect for now (next vintage will be 2008 as the '06 & '07 were all sold to other countries)
Pink Floyd Rose, 2009, Chateau Miraval, £12.99 France, Rose
Part of the album "The Wall" was recorded at Miraval's own recording studios, thus the name. Grapes are bled for for 3 hours only to give a pale pink colour, with delicate fruit flavours. Very refreshing with a long-lasting taste. Medaille d'Or Paris 2010
Giunco, 2009, Cantina Mesa, £13.99 Italy, White
"Sous La Velle" Meursault, 2007, Mestre-Michelot, £25.5 France, White
