Lolol Valley is a new one to me. Chilean eco wetland I find. The first aromas are nice enough, but the little green tinge boded badly. Went for this after 2/3 good reviews on the supplier's site. For me, however, a bit grassy, "green" and acidic. Seems nicely enough made, and if you like a transparent slightly watery SB then go get for a fiver.

Ba - How does this compare to the one from Marks - Alright then, the one from St. Antonio valley with your coastal seaweed note

hmmnn - '10 probably needs a drop more time ?

I was curious. So I opened the Cartagena SB from Chile.

Please treat Mr Ba's coment with a pinch of......St Antonio valley near the seaside - Duh.

The pith on that wine has a sprinkling on Andrews liver salts on the lemon grass and green leaf (laurel bush) shoots. It may go with a bit more time.....It may not, and then, with further development, it may go flat.

I shall now work my way through it. However, Cartagena '09 at the mo, is not one to waste any shoe leather on.

Better with a fish starter perhaps, may be a fish pie of some sort, or grilled. Slightly better warmer.

Morrisons had the Yali Reserve today on offer for £5.99.

I resisted
