The heat of the year is certainly apparent here - as is the alcohol on the finish - but this is a wine that has plenty of structure and aromatic complexity too. It’s somewhere between a red Burgundy and a McLaren Vale Grenache in style. A total one-off. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2028

True to style: plush and approachable with an enticing aromatic complexity. Super ripe fruit but fresh and floral at the same time. Palate rich and suave but harmonious, the plentiful tannins smooth and long. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2022-2035

More nerve on the nose than the other wines in this stable. Very rich and round but with a structure. Very sweet but the tannins are much suppler. Spice and roundness on the palate. Something slightly brûlée but still very fresh. What fun! Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2038

A heady, exotic wine, the 2015 Tertre-Rôteboeuf exudes richness and intensity. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, espresso, chocolate, spice and licorice infuse this voluptuous, racy Saint-Émilion. Dense, powerful and explosive, it just gets better and better with time in the glass. Super-ripe cherry and plum fruit are laced with scents of tobacco, licorice, incense and white truffle that add nuance. What a gorgeous wine this is! Proprietor François Mitjavile isn't afraid to be a contrarian. While many estates opt for shorter aging, Mitjavile gives his wine two full years in 100% new oak and also keeps the cellar on the warm side during the winter months. The 2015 was bottled in September 2017.
