Smiley Red V6 NV
Red 14% ABV ABV SmileyNice but not cheap
Decent wine, good structure and the fruit comes through nicely. Bit pricey at over £21 for a non-vintage red though — I'd want a couple of quid off before buying again. That said, it does drink well above its price point.
Birthday wine winner
Bought a couple of bottles of this for my birthday dinner and everyone loved it. Really expressive on the nose — you get a proper hit of fruit as soon as you pour it. Smooth, warming, and went perfectly with the lamb.
Absolutely loved this
This is gorgeous. The balance between the fruit and acidity is just right, and it's got this lovely warmth from the alcohol without feeling heavy at all. Finish lingers in a really satisfying way. Already ordered more.
Really solid red
Picked this up after the guy in the wine shop recommended it. Really warm and fruity without being too boozy, even though it's 14%. Had it with a slow-cooked beef stew and it was spot on.
Expected more for the price
It's fine. Pleasant enough, clean finish, nothing wrong with it. But for £21 I was hoping for something a bit more exciting. Would probably reach for something else at this price.
Good everyday-ish red
Saw this on a menu and ordered a glass, then tracked down a bottle. It's well balanced and has a nice depth to it. Not quite an everyday wine at that price but definitely one I'd grab for a Friday night in.
