PS UK1 - I see the Freybernat is still on special at Ocodo. I have the mother in law visiting for a week or so (sadly I'll be in LA) and need to stock up on 'plonk'. Recommended as an every day snifter?
Very much so. It needs opening and warming. It isn't oaky and at first seems a bit on the light side. It isn't a merlot or rioja, but it has some subtle style about it. But when I opened the second which was warmer I really liked it. It's poor value at the (I think) £13 or so but at half price it's really great. You need to check it's still on offer.
Let me know how you get on.
ps just checked and still on offer - I've added another 20 to my next order. I've read a negative review which says it's rough and tannic - but I'd say the absolute opposite.
