Ben says

★ Good Wine Lots of fruity blackberries on the nose with a little vanilla. Full bodied, well-integrated tannins and enough fruit character, slightly disguised by the butterscotch-like sweetness and cinnamon notes. It’s a bit charred on the finish, but the wine’s nonetheless plush and enjoyable.

About the Producer

As usual with Lidl wines very little is available about the producer, probably for commercial reasons. One commentator has suggested it may be made by the grower co-op l’Union de Producteurs de Saint-Émilion, but this is unverified.
