The CoOp wine, sold over Xmas and included in the recent clearance.

Very sweet, ripe and plumy with white pepper and vanilla. It also has a weighty dose of acidity that seems out of place for such a ripe wine, obviously an addition to lend balance. The wine comes across as lacking harmony, a bunch of components, and the sweetness is too much to enjoy the wine alone, it needs something savoury.

It’s a decent bbq glugger, if little else.

With you all the way from my note in Feb (thought I posted it somewhere here but obv not...):

Uncomplex with sweet juicy bramble fruit and smooth tannin
A Bit of alcohol burn but not too bad
Good for an everyday glugger

You did. Gk must have forgotten how to use the search

drank again over the weekend at a neighbour's BBQ (after half a crate of larger and a bottle of Maycas Del Limari Syrah) and it stood up pretty well (as was I surprisingly...)

for £4 I'd get another armfull of these for future BBQs as it was pretty good darned for a second wine. Kept the troops happy
