Expected a little more, lots of bricking, some of the fruit is fading but purchased on sale so am comfortable with this

Dr. Hermann Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese 2005, Prädikatswein

Really well done, felt like there was plenty of life left. Lots of sweetness and the wiff of petrol was definitely there

Paul Bosc Estate Equuleus 2012, St. David's Bench

50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% of both Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Made only in the warmest vintages in Niagara, this is the best Equuleus yet, a more modern style that's approachable now yet will age for 10-20 years. The nose shows rich cherry, a touch of raspberry and then lavish cassis, concentrated black currants and fine oak spices. It is smooth on the palate with generous fruit flavours, fine tannins and integrated spices that echo on the long finish.

Thirty Bench Red 2012, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula
