Synthetic cork, which I have no problem with. Had half the bottle on night one, the remainder on night 2: I noticed some fading on night 2 compared with the freshly opened bottle. While I would not buy this again, I was not dissatisfied with it. However, there are other wines at this price, or close to it, that I've enjoyed more. Somewhat "New World" in taste, but still "authentic".

Clear deep garnet. Intense nose of blackcurrant, plum jam, v ripe fruit, liquorice, violet, pepper.
Quite pungent at times - animal dung?
Dry, med acidity, med ++ tannin, med ++ body, v well integrated
Tastes somewhat tangy, is most likely close to turning. Drink now whilst it’s still enjoyable.
