Bottle of the week

When you come across a wine that tastes good enough to cost twice its price, choosing the week's bottle is easy

When you come across a wine that tastes good enough to cost twice its price, choosing the week's bottle is easy. Downing another glass of Masi Campo Fiorin Ripasso 1991 (outlets above, £9.99 approx.) is easy, too, for this is a wine of huge appeal and astounding quality - Valpolicella infused with the gorgeous richness of Amarone. It ages extremely well, they say (20-25 years) - but why on earth wait?
