I had this wine for Easter Sunday dinner. The estate is one I had blogged about before. The grand vain of this relatively unfamiliar estate is selling in the larger branches of one of the two big supermarkets, so for an Easter treat, I thought I would get a bottle.
The wine was a deep ruby with a sweet berry fruit acid nose. The palate was sweet woody acid slightly fruity, with wood and a bit of tannins mid palate, spiced with some chanpimui (dried plum flavoured with mandarin peel). There was a touch of soya sauce savouriness in the finish. Unfortunately, it did not go that well with the rack of lamb that we had.
