Reduced to £5.63 (ie £1.50 off)

This is Chenin/Viongier/Sauvignon. I've got it freezing cold so there's currently little smell. Will report during the next half hour, as it warms, as I've got some reading to do.

It has the merest hint of cat. Quite a strong taste and, because of the mixture of flavours, the flavour profiles mix and lose their definition. I'd want nuts with this.

Half an hour later. A richer, creamier smell. Very tasty wine which really needs food. Really full-flavoured. Could stand up to something quite big, like curry.

Last taste (after lasagne, salad and garlic bread, made by the wonderful Amelia, who has a birthday coming up and so is being extra helpful).

I just don't like this wine. It's too much. The alcohol is warm and it lacks freshness. It doesn't smell of anything, except wine.

Not for me, even at £3.29.
