Marco.
This was a while ago We tried two bottles from waitrose .

I really liked it, Tracey not too keen on it, (too accustomed to Supermarket offer Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon etc )

I am no wine expert (although I do try) but I would say slightly spicy, fruity, Tannins are soft but evident and a soft finish that is sort of 'fresh' if that makes sense.

I prefer a longer finish ideally.

I would buy it again but there are so many to try....
