Much better than expected. Great nose, smooth on the palate.
Best at room temparature, sans decanting, sniff and gulp straight away. Friendly sommelier suggested ice bucket for remaining half bottle - nay. Never again.

Deep coloured, not much nose, full bodied, slightly sharp, tannin not quite integrated.
Competent everyday drinking wine, hard to beat for value.
