Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malbec Noir

This Malbec is a divisive one: some find it a unique, original fresh-fruity twist on the woody-wine genre, others find it boring and derivative. It's not as dark as the 'Noir' in its name suggests, making it surprisingly versatile.

Our Verdict - Amber Oud Gold 999.9 Dubai Edition

This Gold Edition of Amber Oud is a divisive beast: some find it a creamy, caramel-laced upgrade on the original, while others are left disappointed by its perceived weakness. For those who love it, expect compliments and serious longevity - especially if you let it 'mature'.
