I loved this. Opened it with Italian food and it was a perfect accompaniment. It’s got a good depth of flavour on its own, but definitely great with pasta or cheese etc. Yummy.

Unsure on this one. A bit of an oakey, musty one. Not sure my favourite. Does it need to age? Hmmmm.

Initial notes are good but there is a “tang” at the end that hits the middle of the tongue. Unsure. Maybe with some age?

Stewy. Not the lifted blueberry floral delights that seem to flow so effortlessly from the Americas. Its a bit onw dimensional. IWC gold apparently. End of the day tasting?!

Brilliant Red. Full bodied

Will buy again. Possibly a bit too drinkable

Smooth warm and rounded

Bouncy and red like bloody dog shit. I think David took a shit in this one

A bouncy, juicy red.
