Oily legs. Needed a half hour to open up. Medium round refreshing red. A little dry but not much.

Given it's young age, this Médoc drinks up really well. Soft and supple as you'd expect with these grapes accompanied by a long finish. This would also benefit with being cellared for some time to mature further.

Bit dry even after aerating. Not too much in terms of the deep fruits it talked of on the bottle. Alright, but not much to write home about.

Medium red. Nothing special. All right for the price. Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon blend.

A simple and young table wine, given a bit microoxigenation in the steel tank.

A nose of kirsch, baked blackcurrants, jam with a hint of white pepper maybe nutmeg. Medium acidity & tannin. Blackcurrant & plum flavours, vanilla?, medium length.

Good value for money (£7.99). Used for cooking and accompanying the same red meat dish.

Waitrose. (8gbp) bought it bc it was a mix of merlot and cab sav, smell hits you more than flavor. Feels abit sour and watery w a pungent aftertaste in the throat. Tastes like yoghurt after an orange.
