Domaine Les Yeuses, Les Epices Syrah, Vin de Pays d’Oc, France 2013

£8.99 Majestic Along with the Quinta dos Avidagos (see left), this is a contender for one of the UK’s best-value reds. It’s a sexy, perfumed Syrah full of juicy, supple black fruits, ripe red plums and baking spices. Very smooth and elegant on the palate, it has a surprisingly complex and serious structure – more akin to what you’d find in a wine twice the price. One to impress your guests over a steak dinner. 13.5%
