This is one of the finest Charmes de Kirwan, the second wine of famous Margaux property Chateau Kirwan, ever produced.
In the glass is has a rich deep red colour with violet highlights, typical of young wines from great vintages. An intense nose blends notes of cherry and blackberry with subtle hints of chocolate. It is ample and unctuous in the mouth, with a distinct fleshy character. Understated tannins prolong the tasting experience while lending softness to the wine. Thanks to its mature aromas and velvety texture, this wine is already ripe for tasting, although its concentration ensures that it will age well for many years to come. Drinking Window 2022 – 2037

2020 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Xanadu
£6900Add to BasketThe Quintessential Margaret River Cabernet, with perfumed black fruit aromas and a generous, velvety palate packed with irresistible dark forest fruit and chocolate characters.
The Reserve range continues to be the best of what Xanadu are able to produce in a given vintage – single vineyard or otherwise. Fruit was predominantly sourced from two mature, dry grown vineyards; Timber Creek, in the Wilyabrup subregion; and Victory Point in the Treeton subregion of Margaret River and was supplemented with a small amount of Malbec from the Stevens Road vineyard in Wallcliffe. The resulting blend from these vineyards has married beautifully, proving again that sometimes ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’.

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, Inglenook
£8950Add to BasketFounded in 1879, Inglenook is one of Napa Valley’s most historic and revered estates. Under the visionary stewardship of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola since 1975, the estate has been meticulously restored to its former glory, with a focus on producing world-class, organically farmed wines from its Rutherford vineyards.
The 2016 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in balance and varietal purity. Aromatically precise, it opens with vibrant notes of ripe black cherry and blackberry, complemented by subtle hints of garrigue, lavender, thyme, and bay leaf that add depth and intrigue. The palate is finely tuned and seamless, with polished tannins and a supple texture that carries layers of dark fruit, cassis bud, and a whisper of savoury herbs. Oak is impeccably integrated, supporting the wine’s structure without overwhelming its elegance. The finish is long, fragrant, and composed, a hallmark of both the vintage and the estate’s restrained, classical approach. This is a Cabernet of remarkable finesse and ageing potential, offering a refined expression of Inglenook’s historic vineyards.
