In 482 stores

Smells like dried apricots steeped in dessert wine, but with a hint of lime zest. Sweet but fresh taste, with some raisin. Interesting.

I got one for Xmas at half price, but didn't get round to it.

This is lovely (if you like sweet wines). There is a lot going on. Label says

It has intense aromas of crystallised fruit, cinnamon and gingerbread and the myriad flavours of plum, prune, nuts & orange peel fill the mouth. The wine is sweet and the natural acidity and spicy oak give it a fresh, complex, lingering finish.

I'm not sure I got all of those but there was something else there which I could not put my finger on. It came to me over the weekend after it had been open a few days. Maple Syrup. Might explain why it went wonderfully well with the pancakes last Tuesday.



Does anyone know how long wines like this keep once opened?

I found it hard to get through a bottle of this over a number of days and it is only a half :shock:

I think after a week it would have lost its zing, even if vacuvin'd.

Im not a huge fan of stickies but will consider a bottle when next in store.

FWIW, I just got a super low quote for my car insurance from Tesco, quite surprising really when Id read all Insurance costs are heading north this year. Just saved myself £150, what shall I do with it?

I agree, but it was too apt to leave.

Well, with Crimble coming up, and you have a great Misses by the sound of it, and two lovely kids - Surely not difficult.

Save just enough to buy yourself a little treat, pick a nice vintage, pick what you want, pick one or two for what they are, rather than what you think is a bargain just now.

Saving a ton fifty is not something that confuses me that often :wink:

If they saved me £150, I'd have free insurance and they'd be sending me a cheque as well.
