Nice but steep for a half bottle
Got this for a dinner party starter and it went down fine — smooth, well balanced, nothing to complain about flavour-wise. But £21.50 for a half bottle is a lot. You can get a really solid full bottle of red for that money. Would I buy it again? Probably not at that price.

Birthday treat that delivered
My partner got me this for my birthday and I'm a fan. Really expressive on the nose, you can smell it as soon as you pour it. The balance is spot on and it's got a lovely long finish that makes you want to keep going. Half bottle was actually perfect for sharing between two with dinner.

Really interesting Spanish red
Saw this on a restaurant menu and decided to try it at home. There's proper complexity here, layers of fruit and acidity that keep it interesting sip after sip. The finish is clean and lingers nicely. At 14% it's got some weight to it but doesn't feel boozy. Solid choice with a lamb stew.

Lovely little half bottle
Picked this up from a wine shop recommendation and really glad I did. It's got this nice depth to it, fruity but not jammy, and the finish just keeps going. Perfect size for a Tuesday night when you want something decent but don't need a full bottle staring at you.
