A little farmyardy on the nose - with some over-ripe plums. Maybe corked as well. Worrying wine.

Berries on the nose. Slightly fizzy – I don’t think reds should every be fizzy. It’s fruity, it’s simple. Not for me.

Spicy nose Pleasant taste. The price is edging towards steep, but this is a good Spanish rustic red.

Smells of rotting plumbs. Nasty taste. Not quite corked, but drily woody.

Perfumed. Pretty sweet, but nice, juicy, fruity and with some savoury texture. Like it.

Beautiful American oak on the nose. Mmm. So inviting. This is delicious. Spicy, oaky, refreshing, savoury, dark-fruity. Love it.
