Sitting in the garden on a nice and warm summer evening with a temperature of 24C (hot for the UK 😊) this is a solid wine to help time pass pleasurably.

Dark fruit aroma that has a medium/strong tannin benefitting from its 14 months' in French oak barrels, it delivers a punchy cherry, spice and hint of tobacco flavour and taste.

Decanted for 2 hours-plus this smoothes out nicely from the first glass straight out the bottle.

The 14% alcohol makes this fun as you can feel it grabbing you from the first sip/gulp.

Tesco @ £9.00.
