Very good (expensive gift from a friend!) South African blend - surprisingly cherry notes and oaked. Probably could have left it a year or so to drink but very much enjoyed on a sunny Welsh evening! — 13 days ago

Really delicious. First glass was more liquorice, tannin and then mellowed to be a bit rounder with black fruits (just on the right side for me of still being JUST savoury enough). Complex, delicious, recommend — 2 months ago

Very interesting (on the far edge of fruity or non savoury for me) merlot from Romania - deep, complex flavours of fruit and maybe some oak/vanilla/spice. Really enjoyed and great value! — 18 days ago

Really great Pinot noir. The flavour - peppery on the front of your tongue - was delicious. As ever, too light for me but surprisingly enjoyed. We had corovin of two glasses at the grove! — 2 months ago

A wine that (rare) blends mine and Rajs tastes - incredible smooth, not tannin heavy but still full, savoury, buttery - the perfect wine for a small plates mixed meal. Delicious — 3 months ago
