The Wine Society<\/a>. It was amazing: such good wines at really good prices. Here are a few wines that I’ll be buying. But there were just too many highlights for one post!<\/p>\nReichsgraf von Kesselstatt Gracher Domprost Riesling Spatlese 2001 Mosel, Germany<\/strong>
\nLovely wine \u2013 rich and a bit toasty with lanolin and grapefruit, as well as ripe apple and melon fruit. Sweet, creamy, textured and more-ish. This is beautifully balanced and in a good place for current drinking. Long melony finish. 93\/100 (\u00a314.95 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n![\"OLYMPUS](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/P1011154-500x333.jpg\")

Jean-Paul Brun Beaujolais L’Ancien Les Pierres Dor\u00e9es 2013 Beaujolais, France<\/strong>
\nBeautifully fresh, aromatic cherry and raspberry fruit nose. Pure and focused on the palate with a stony, mineral core to the fresh raspberries. Just a beautiful, focused wine of real purity and with a bit of grip. A gem. 92\/100 (\u00a310.95 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n![\"OLYMPUS](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/P1011161-500x333.jpg\")

Delas Grignan Les Adh\u00e9mar 2013 Rhone, France<\/strong>
\nA lovely grenache-syrah blend. Fresh, juicy berry and cherry fruit with a real silkiness to the ripe berries. This is a fabulous textured lighter-style red with a bit of pepper. Remarkable value, so utterly drinkable. 89\/100 (\u00a36.95 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n![\"OLYMPUS](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/P1011162-500x333.jpg\")

Cruz de Piedra Seleccion Especial Garnacha 2013 Calatayud, Spain<\/strong>
\nRipe, sweet and so pure with lovely spicy berry and cherry fruit. It’s really lovely with a distinct spicy peppery note and generous but focused ripe fruit. Fabulous stuff for the price. 90\/100 (\u00a38.25 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n![\"OLYMPUS](\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/P1011163-500x359.jpg\")

Domaine Gilles Robin Crozes Hermitage Papillon 2013 Northern Rhone, France<\/strong>
\nFresh floral black cherry fruit with a bit of black pepper and some tapenade character. Has some silkiness under the ripe fruit. Very satisfying and direct, and totally typical. 92\/100 (\u00a311.95 The Wine Society)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I headed down to Stevenage today for a tasting at The Wine Society.
