In the UK for £28 a bottle you expect something quite special. This is made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. You get smells of red and black, hints of oak and spice. The flavours are fruity with herbaceous undertones and an earthy nuance, all of which have decent length. It’s a very nice wine, esp with food. We had it with a Quorn Bolognese and it complemented it well.

I would have expected it to be a little smoother and a bit more refined for £28 a bottle. That said, nice bottle.

Oh and cat was found of it too.
