Villa Girardi Bure Alto Ripasso 2011, Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Oddly, both JS and DL's widely divergent reviews make sense. It seems light-weight and slightly sweet at first but has some nice fruit and complexity, with a lovely long-ish finish. Not too heavy on the wood, with tannins and acid nicely present.

Cave Du Haut Poitou Vallée Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Ac Haut Poitou

Porcupine Ridge Syrah 2013, Swartland

Thelema Mountain Red 2012, Western Cape

Very good value. Acid and tannins in the forefront, but nice blend, juicy, bright fruits, mid-weight, decent length.
