A little bit bretty.....and not much else. This was bottled for the Wine Society, I bought 6 and haven't been really impressed. OK for the price I suppose but why not pop into Waitrose and get something from Guigal or Chapoutier for the same price? I know Jaume has a good reputation but this doesn't do it for me.

Pretty good value. Needed a little airtime to wipe away a slightly musty nose. Fresh aroma followed with some black fruit. In the mouth a little thick but good fruit depth and hints of wood and pepper. Surprisingly smooth finish: medium length.
Enjoyed a couple of glasses, one with sausage & mash, one without. Both stood up well.

Similar to previous note. Seemed slightly less vibrant but in general a nice wine that benefits a food accompaniement to draw out the flavours.
