RedHeads Pinball Cabernet Sauvignon

Proper tasty. Big flavour, lovely and rich. I'm just missing a steak to match. 93 points

The Old Red River Gum Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz

Old Red River Gum doing exactly what you want it to do. Smooth, tasty and cosy as anything. One for a cold night and a proper glass in hand. 92 points

Seleccion Especial Numerada 71 Rioja Reserva

Give this a swirl in a big glass and it opens up beautifully, or better still decant if you can. Rich, classy and full of Rioja charm. 91 points

Judas Priest on the speakers, Douro in the glass, and honestly, it all worked. Big and smooth, definitely the head line act. 92 points
