Caspar Bowes regularly takes video notes of the wines he has tasted, when tasting a maturing wine we have sold in the past, when selecting wines for Bowes Wine offers and when checking the development of wines in his own cellar. Sometimes, he simply opens a bottle which is so amazing he HAS to record a tasting note.
All the videos are posted on the Bowes Wine YouTube channel but they are now also listed below. All wines are listed under region headings in vintage order.
*NB. This page is still in the process of being populated we are working on adding the the full list of videos.*
