Nose is splendid, yet simple, with cherries, berries and straw. No trace of the dampness of French Pinot showing up here.
It's really pleasing; it was a little cold when it came out of the booze-man's cupboard, and in some ways, that suited it. Tasty, quaffable, good quality, light and with ribena, it hides its 14% really well.

The yorkshire girl was so taken with drinking it cool (I had put my glass by the radiator to ripen after one slurp) that she dug out the wine temperature-ometer, to see how close she was to the 10-12 C suggested on the bottle (having no sense of scale in these matters.)
