O’Vineyards Proprietor’s Reserve 2006 finally made its way to households across the UK. One of my favorite things about Naked Wines is the rabid devotion and excitedness of the customers over there. We get instant updates about the wine being delivered and it seems to never take more than a day for somebody to pop open a bottle and let us know how well it traveled.

Woo hoooooo…… the O’Vineyards Proprietors Reserve 2006 Marketplace offering arrived today.
Now I just need to make up a special occasion so that I can drink it.
Is Thursday a special enough occasion?
Darren confirmed the wine has been delivered at their home at 17:51 on the 18th. I wonder how long it will be before somebody opens a bottle. Less than 3 hours later Trevor is already reviewing the wine online:

Wonderful nose , deep colour and a complexity that justifies the price. A perfect amount of tannin just enough to make it interesting. A mouthful of fruit that goes on and on. I like it in other words.
And the reviews keep coming in! We’ll keep hearing from them about how the wine is evolving and meeting their needs. Do their friends like it? Do their kids like it? How does it compare to other wines from O’Vineyards or other vintages of Reserve. We get all this feedback for free and it helps us make better wines to better please our best customers.
Naked Wines customers are the best customers in the world.
PS – It took Darren a few days to open that bottle, but he immediately let us know how it went!

Not for the feint of heart.
It’s a deeply heady blend, packed with ripe fruits and carrying an undertone of floral perfume.
This intensity, coupled with a slightly dry finish might make it just too full-on for some to drink on it’s own. But, all of these characteristics make it a perfect match for a nicely rare steak.
Top drawer again O’Connells…… and I have 5 more bottles to indulge in.
