A tour de force in wine that should be snatched up by readers, the 2015 Languedoc-La Clape la Falaise has a deep, inky colour to go with a killer bouquet of ripe black currants, liquorice, salty seawater and peppered meats.

Big, rich, full-bodied and downright decade, it needs to be tasted to be believed. It will keep beautifully for at least 6-7 years.

Grapes: 55% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre

Food match:

Rossini tournedos, goat's cheese
