The Juice Asylum 2023 / Il Terzo Grado
Red 14% ABV ABV Il Terzo GradoAbsolutely loved this bottle
Got this as a birthday present and it might be my favourite wine discovery this year. So well balanced and the finish just lingers in a really pleasant way. Already ordered more. The Juice Asylum have nailed it with this one.
Good but not amazing
It's a perfectly nice red wine. Decent fruit, goes down easy enough. But at nearly £20 I've had bottles I enjoyed more for less money. Not bad by any means, just didn't blow me away.
Does the job nicely
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass to try. Nice depth to it without being heavy, and it handled its alcohol well — didn't get that hot burn you sometimes get with 14% reds. Tracked down a bottle afterwards for home. Fair price at £20.
Really impressed with this one
Picked this up from my local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. Proper fruit flavours but not one of those jammy headache wines — actually has some structure to it. At £20 it's not an everyday bottle but it's genuinely good for a Friday night steak.
Solid red, drinks well above its price
Bought a couple of these for a dinner party and everyone kept asking about it. Smooth tannins and a nice clean finish. 14% but doesn't taste boozy at all which is impressive. Would buy again.
The nose on this is unreal
I'm not usually one to sit and sniff my wine but this one kept pulling me back in before I even took a sip. Really expressive and interesting. Had it with a slow-cooked ragu and it was a brilliant match.
Nice Italian red
The guy at my wine shop recommended this and he wasn't wrong. It's got layers to it — starts fruity then sort of opens up into something deeper. My partner thought it was a bit much but I really liked it.
