2020 has been an interesting one to say the least and, as the most endearing time of the year rolls around, we’re reminded of one thing - we love to drink.
Jokes aside, it really has been a tough year, but all we can do is make the most of the time we have with those around us.
Whether together, 2m apart or through a device screen, nothing quite says “I love you” than a bottle of something special.
Read on to discover our wine and spirits columnist’s top choices for the most luxurious wines and spirits of the year.
Chateau Changyu Moser XV Purple Air Comes From the East 2016 (£202, $267)
Lenz Moser, an Austrian wine pro with over 30 years winemaking experience, has put China on the global wine map.
His top-tier offering, “Purple Air,” has racked up countless awards and is clear proof that China can indeed produce phenomenal wines.
100 per cent estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon goes into this bottle, showcasing an exuberant burst of stewed dark meadow fruits, fresh cigar box and a generous dollop of baking spices and cedar oak.
