Plum red. Very on the fruit, simple and easy going, but this is basic plonk. Far too young to have developed any complexity, however not sure what the development path, if any, will be. It does not seem to me to have any real structure.

It's really hard to argue with this for the price. £9 from Aldi. Lovely blackcurrant nose with earthy leather notes. Lots of fruit on the palate, lovely aromatic spicy note, quite firm slightly rustic tannins, high cabernet percentage in here. If I tried this blind I'd think it was twice the price. Drinking well now. Hard to know what it will do if kept, the fruit is there but the tannins are a little rough. Drink now, I'd say.

Very decent, inexpensive, medium-bodied claret with subtle fruits and a dusting of spice. Elegant and satisfying.
