★ Good Wine “Looking for a big, bold red wine? You’re looking at it. Sweet, hot ripe fruit on the nose, full of black fruits, vanilla and alcohol, leap out the glass. This full bodied, somehow waxy textured, brash red mixes together black plum, pepper and cassis. If you want your reds to give you a thrashing, this is one for you.“
