20170322 Watson's Cellar, w22492w fr w22992w

RP92, JH95

Paired with: pizza, m&s sausages, cuttlefish sausage, baked potatoes

Taste: simple fruity, medium body, ok

Dense, inky purple-crimson; absolutely achieves expressing 'a profound sense of place'; unctuous black fruits swathed in dark chocolate drive the bouquet and medium to full-bodied palate with relentless precision, yet keep balance and length. Oak and tannins are part of the package, but you sense them, rather than feel their impact. Carries its alcohol with ease. JH

Colour:Red
Sweetness:Dry
Body:Medium to Full-Bodied
Food Match:Roast beef, lamb, stew

Nice, crisp unwooded Chardonnay. Would happily have a glass or two of this!
