Delicious
It all depends on your tastes. I drink a big range of wines and this is one of my all-time favourites. It's fruity and very satisfying - for me personally. My wife endorses my opinion.

A fantastic, journey into the unknown, a recommendation from a friends is usually a good indication but you never know. This has been a great experience. Lovely smooth red, we are undecided if Malbec, merlot or what, we have just decided it's a 'Gid Yin'.

Great wine, great value
Superb value wine. As a straight out of the bottle drink any time with anything it can't be beaten. Not quite up to the Malbecs I generally go for but at this price!!!!!

Absolutely outstanding wine. So impressed with this. Tried many very expensive reds that cannot compete with this. Not just a good wine for the price, a good wine full stop!
