March’s wine is the 2011 Barón de Magaña (£9.28 from www.decantalo.com).

Robert Parker says:

“The wine comes across as a Right Bank Pomerol* from Bordeaux, with an opaque ruby/purple color, lush, sexy plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, a touch of licorice and forest floor. It’s a layered, medium to full-bodied, pure, luscious and heady wine to drink over the next 5-7 years.” 91/100

*In other words: if you close your eyes, you’d think this nine quid Spanish cabernet is from one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious areas!
