Lovely smooth red with immediate burst of black currants in the mouth.

✖️ £5-£8 • A smoother than expected Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfect for cooking but not so much quaffing.

This one took me by surprise! After my first sip it seemed pretty smooth. It didn't take long to realize the full body it had to offer. However, it seemed have a bit of a leather taste which isn't for me.
Delectable showed this wine as a 9.2 but it's definitely not for everyone.
It's a 13.5% alcohol content and contains sulphites.
