February 11, 2022 - Something slightly earthy on the nose, not much fruit, just out of drinking window according to TWS. Dried/stewed fruit maybe. Juicy and fresh palate, red fruits, cherries, raspberries?, nice acidity to freshen finish. No real tannin to speak of. Wants to be lightly chilled, pleasantly quaffable for £7

April 24, 2021 - Stelvin closure. Ruby with a tending towards brick. Clear rim is abnormally wide - filtration by numbers? I would suggest 45 Nm at least! Nose is very light strawberry if anything. Palate is a nice red fruit bomb with a decent finish albeit a rather chalky abrupt end. It’s ok, it’s cheap - that’s life!

January 28, 2021 - Wow, bit of a character this one.
Funky but fresh and creamy Gamay nose.
Palate is raspberry/red cherry but with a dark and juicy blackcurrant core; finishes with a touch of spice. A sort of classy rustic table wine.
£7.95 from the Wine Society. Gamay & Pinot Noir. 13.5%
Recommend.
At 24 hours; the creamy red berry quality of the Gamay had gone but the savoury Pinot darker fruit core held up well.
At 48 hours; still drinkable but like an unremarkable generic low/medium bodied blended red with a little of the juicy core still hanging around. -

November 12, 2020 - Needs the summer. Sour cherry and acidity come through a bit more out of that context.

September 23, 2020 - I think this is excellent value for money. Has a pinot noir mustiness and that classic savoury character you expect from good Pinot Noir. Served at around 16C it was singing. Slipped down far too quickly!
