GSM Ver Sacrum 2021

Helena Kosta — Decent enough

6/10

Bought this for a dinner party because the label looked cool and the guy at the shop said it was a great GSM blend. It was fine — fruity, smooth, easy to drink. Nothing blew me away though. My mate brought a £12 Côtes du Rhône that honestly gave it a run for its money.

Amira Benali — Good but not cheap

7/10

Nice wine, well made, no complaints on the taste. Lots of layers and it got better as the bottle opened up. At £21 though I'd want it to be special and it's more like reliably good? If it dropped to £15 I'd have a case of it.

Benjamin Ross — Really solid red blend

8/10

Picked this up from my local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. There's a lot going on — dark fruit, a bit of spice — but it all works together really well. Opened it with a slow-cooked lamb shoulder and it was a perfect match. Would definitely buy again.
