One Block Muscat 2009 "Lively, pure Muscat scents and a well-judged palate: all the orange-citrus zing of the variety but with a soft, rounded finish too."
La Terre Promise 2009 "The oak is unobtrusive, just adding a creamy fullness to the scents of anis and fennel and the flavours of those same spices with gentle mango-like fruits. Much more of a food wine with that subtle aromatic and flavour spectrum lending the wine lots of gastronomic aptitude."
Three Peaks 2008 "I like its concentration and energy, and its four-square structure, too, with a little refreshing asperity from the Carignan at the very end."
Le Secret 2008 "is another good wine. I loved its blackcurranty style. On the palate, it's pure, clean, fresh, lightly textured and deftly balanced: remarkable freshness and poise from the sometimes over-weighty Roussillon."
Tahi 2008 "Dark fruits and sweetly stable-like notes mingling in the aromas, and with an energetic, thrusting, edgy flavour. It's a challenging and impressive wine with plenty of southern style to it and ample structure, too."
