  I bought this in Majestic, partly through curiosity to see what sort of zin you can get in the UK for a tenner. It's lively, quite rich, pleasantly drinkable. OK, it's not special, but it's fine for a midweek bottle to glug.

  Seems to be fading, compared to my memory of how I remember it at a tasting with more fruit in the mid-palate - it is a predominant Zin blend after all. Little barnyard old world flavor creeping in at this point. Still ok at this price point. Just should have drunk it earlier.

  Elegant, well balanced with pleasant acidity and blackcurrent leaf and red current flavours, much like a young Rhone wine.

  Not bad with Mexican. Wouldn’t go with this choice for a nice night out but very smooth with Super Bowl-ish garbage food. No complaints for a night on the patio with tamales and enchiladas.
