I’m a fan of A.F. Gros Richebourg but at £500+ it’s out of reach these days so this cheaper £44 easy drinking younger number will have to do 😉 Good on it’s own but would pair with Lamb or Duck perfectly 😁 3-5 years will reward to 👍

A fun and light wine (12%) for easy afternoon drinking. Light purplish red, blueberries on the nose but cranberries in the mouth. Earthly notes, tobacco, cedar, elegant tannins integrating with the rest of the body. Rather balanced. — 8 months ago

Little bit of a barnyard nose with a hint of bright cherry. Nice little wine for the value. I wish it had a little more complexity to it though. Lots of bright cherry with a hint of herb in the mouth. This one is growing on me. — 6 years ago
