This is a superbly rich, honeyed, aromatic Chardonnay which has spent over six months in new oak barrels. Keep it a few years if you can and it will develop into a great accompaniment to Foie Gras or Blue Cheese and will develop beautifully over the next several years. Drink now to 2022.

A single bottle of 1989 Vintage Armagnac from Domaine Laffitte in Gascony.
So, if you;
are 30 this year
have been married 30 years
have just finished a 30 year stretch at Wormwood Scrubs
this might be a rather special way to mark the occasion.

Previous vintges recommended by Jancis Robinson: “Brilliant fruit, fine tannins…..serious build and potential.”
Selected from the best parts of the vineyard, this is a blend of Syrah, Carignan and Mourverdre. Each varietal is kept apart and aged in 500 litre oak barrels for 12 months. Only then do they decide upon the final blend. Once made, the finished wine is aged for yet another 12 months in those same barrels before bottling. Only 10% of the barrels are new wood, so there’s no “in your face ” oakiness here!
Diane only releases this wine if she feels it is up to her highest standards of quality. So, no 2002 vintage ‘ it was all sold off in bulk to the ‘négociants’. The 2003 vintage was a cracker. No 2004 vintage either; that, too, was not good enough, the 2005, 2007 and 2009s brilliant…as was the 2011.
And then along came the equally scrumptious 2103, now the fab 2015. What more can I say? Drink now to 2026 (really!)
