I feel like somehow I’ve missed the boat and everyone else loves this a lot more than I do. 🤷‍♂️

There's no doubt that this is a good wine. Lots of interest. But not convinced that it's worth £22. Probably 50% overpriced.

Is a big wine, but not for me because of the syrah content. Needs decanting and time to open up. Rating is purely personal most may like it. Not sure which year vintage it was
