A welcome return to the winners' enclosure for Errazuriz's concentrated Max Reserva. 'Complex nose with black fruit notes,' began Ivan Vegas of Fox Fine Wines & Spirits, continuing: 'Palate is soft with maturing tannins, good balance of fruit and acidity. Good length, and would be even better with food.' 'This is long and balanced, dry and fresh,' added The Cinnamon Club's Chantal Serrano, continuing: 'Chocolate and black fruit notes run alongside chewy tannins.'

£11.68 Hatch Mansfield, Matthew Clark

Bursting with fruit, according to team leader Olivier Marie, who said: 'Deep, dark ruby core with intense black jammy, stewed dark fruits with plums, cherries and blackcurrants, complemented by baking spices and lovely, finely ground, lacy tannins.' 'The palate is refreshing and elegant, with a long, brambly character,' added team leader Jade Koch.

£13.48 Matthew Clark

'Outstanding wine with intense concentration of fruit,' began Jonathan Kleeman of Social Eating House, with team leader Olivier Marie agreeing: 'Succulent texture, sumptuous tannins, sweet and ripe with high-elevated acidity and notes of roasted coffee.'

£13.31 Kingsland

Andrés Ituarte of Avenue Restaurant noted 'lots of pepper and spice freshness with confected fruit', while team leader Olivier Marie enjoyed its 'floral notes of lilac and violet, with jasmine and apricot pit, ripe juicy tannins and balance'.

£12.33 Hallgarten & Novum Wines

Finding 'wood smoke and green stem notes on the nose', Jonathan Kleeman of Social Eating House said: 'Will age well, with its rounded tannins, very ripe dark berries and redcurrants with a pinch of black pepper.' 'The palate is lean and long, while the nose is brambly with baked fruit,' added team leader Jade Koch.

£11.13 Viña Veramonte

'Cassis-forward fruit on the nose, a little earthy in character. Juicy and easy to drink,' said Giancarlo Cuccuru of Brackenbury Wine Rooms, with team leader Tom Forrest adding: 'Soft red and black forest fruits, white pepper and fruitcake flavours with a drying, spicy finish.'

£10.10 Liberty Wines

'Juicy red!' exclaimed Adriana Valentini of Massimo Restaurant & Bar, continuing: 'Deep, black berry fruit style. Its relatively high acidity and shyish nose suggest this will improve further. Nice, elegant finish and good value for money.'

£16.95 Liberty Wines

'Ripe, jammy dark fruit with notes of clove, spice and vanilla. Intense concentration of flavour, showing ripe, well-integrated tannins,' said Charles Van Wyk of FJB Collection, concluding: 'Well made, gives you a lot of wine for your money.'

£7.99 Frederic Robinson

'California's take on a decent Rhône, juicy and refreshing style with a toasty note of oak,' said The Vineyard Group's James Hocking, while Tanguy Martin of La Trompette found it 'gamey, savoury, earthy and oaky'.

£12.80 Bibendum

'Clean, with ripe, sweet tannins, good use of oak bringing vanilla and coconut notes, along with dill herbal notes,' said team leader Olivier Marie, concluding: 'Commercial but pleasant and well balanced.' 'Rich fruit with a rustic edge, bits of green complement more than distract,' added Andrés Ituarte of Avenue Restaurant.

£8.81 González Byass

Michael Fiducia of Drake's Restaurant found 'bramble and wood spice, leading to a dry, soft palate', while team leader Angela Reddin noted 'dark autumn fruits but some lightness on the finish'.
