There are 2 stunners on special offer right now , both of which are dead ringers for serious French bottles.
The white is the 2011 Australian Wolf Blass chardonnay at £6-66 rather than the usual £9-99.It is Burgundian and should be decanted ! The 2010 threw half the people taking the evil Master of Wine exam last year , who thought it from Burgundy. The exam is so difficult ; it would be like sitting the Accounts exam in Chinese.
The red is in classic Bordeaux style but from South Africa.Rustenberg John Merriman and is under a tenner right now.
Jancis Robinson who suggested the decanting tip above has a list of good value wines in the FT today.My special adviser has been despatched to Italy to look for good bottles as Sean Jones QC and i are soon to put together our Christmas list.
