Ah, drinking alone. All the fun of alcohol. None of the irritation of company.
Paranoid.
Still young, but already excellent. Decant for 30 mins to open up. High tannins, which will slowly age away if allowed to lie the cellar. Plum and cherry, a little vanilla, Oak, with an earthy texture which I love. Dark chocolate. Roasted coffee. Excellent value for ~£30!
For the low price point this is a banger from Aldi. It's jammy and chewy, with cherry and a touch of vanilla. Yet (if being fussy) it is let down with a cardboard dryness on the tongue Still excellent value table wine. I'll buy a few more
I've been very lucky recently. Some amazing wines, including this belter. 25yo and deserves a decant. Oak, blackberry, plum. Intense and browning. Earth, tobacco, chocolate. Rich, complex and great to sip slowly
What a treat. This is a wine that continues to develop & surprise glass after glass. Starts smooth and incredibly pleasant. Rich, coffee, chocolate. Then the fruit starts to shine, with raspberry, brambles, and other red fruit. Incredibly complex. Worth sharing and discussing
Intense, Indulgent and heavy. Rich plum, coffee bite, a touch of chocolate and a pinch of pepper. A great winter warmer. I've chosen the wrong time of year for this, but it's definitely enjoyable
I like this. Green apple, melon, a little peach. Very fruity and fresh. Excellent mouth feel, dissipating smoothy, leaving you wanting more right away. Very quaffable!
Zesty nose: Green apple, lime, a little straw. Refreshing, good summer white Lingering lemon finish, ending dry.
2015 vintage Thought this would be very past its best after 9 years, but it has honey, orange, strawberry, mango without tasting 'bad'. Great colour too! Pleasantly surprised
Hands down the best, smoothest, and most perfect CdP I've ever had. A real treat with the brother in law. Had no idea how much it cost at the time!! Plum, cassis, leather, chocolate, vanilla. All soft and subtle. A wonderful wine!!
Salento Primitivo. Fairly heavy and doesn't mess about. Leather, tobacco, honey, raisin, with oak blackberry finish Rich and demanding. Excellent value in the UK Via Svinando if you get the chance to grab when on offer!
Decent. Cherry, blackberry. Really smooth and rounded. VERY easy drinking, on offer at Waitrose
I think the reviews are overrated for this Amarone Heavy, a little spice but lacks subtlety and character. There are much better Amarones out there!
Gets better by the hour. Starts right and rather sharp, but slowly opening. Possibly still needs longer after 2 hours. Brownish hue. Cranberry, strawberry with a tobacco nose. A hint of caramel, ending with oak tongue
Quite acceptable, especially for £5 at Aldi Pear, melon, a nose of gooseberry, with slightly sweet green apple that lingers with underlying lime. Decent for the price
This is quite dreadful. Stiff, headachy awful stuff. No wonder it was so cheap at Aldi. Anyone want the rest? I wouldn't!
Currently £8.99 in Lidl Deep, heavy, rich and dark. Blackberry, Oak and leather, with a little capsicum spice on the finish Decent!
Incredibly intense. And what value from Aldi for the age (bought Xmas 2022) Nutty, raisin, honey, intense coffee. I'm not used to port this age. A completely different intensity and body to even a 20 year old Tawny More like a liqueur. To be sipped 93/100
Uk wine lovers: Svinando.co.uk have a 'Back to Black Friday' sale on. Loads of excellent wines at 50% off!!
These were a tenner at Aldi before Christmas, and they still are (if you can find them) Definitely worth keeping your eyes out. It's excellent value!
