Some Pinot Noirs have such a distinctive flavour they can be off putting.
This is quite light and breezy.
And the label is pure simplicity. Love the Ladybird motif.

The Wanderer Malbec from Argentina is a beauty. Deeply fruity with a kick. Great bottle too.
“Those who boldly seek shall find.” A nice Star Trek split infinitive there! 😂

LOVE the bull headed corkscrew logo on this one.
But then we noticed it has a screw top! 😂
It’s a fair and typical Tempranillo from Spain. Good with Tapas apparantly. But not amazing. A little too acidic for us.

We went a little over budget with this one - but isn’t that bottle amazing?
This Navigator Cab Sav is superb. Incredible deep flavour of fruits and a touch of dark chocolate.
Best Cab Sav we’ve had in a long time.

We’re back from Fuerteventura and this is a Malbec from Argentina named after a once lost legendary village.
Getting deep fruit and a hint of dark chocolate. Not bad for £8 from The CoOp!

Under 5 Euros in Fuerteventura, this red René Barbier blend is peppery but tasty and fruity.

The Fair Mile - a Shiraz Malbec blend from South Africa and it’s a belter.
It tastes as colourful as the label. Almost black pepper on top of fruit. Liking this a great deal.

I’ve been clobbered by a massive migraine today so my tastebuds are screwed. Here’s Mrs E’s take on this Oxford Landing Cab Sav.
“Bitter taste, slightly vinegary. Maybe salty chocolate. Not the best Cab Sav.”

This is a winner - but get past the first few sips to taste the full fruit flavour and the black pepper after kick.

We’ve had this Devil’s Corner Pinot Noir before. Last time we marked it 6.5/10.
This tastes slightly better. Maybe a different vintage. But still a little too acidic and sharp.
