Costières De Nîmes – Rouge. French Connection Classics, half price at Tesco (about £4)
(Was trying a zoom burst, but had to stop as late night stroboscopic flash upsets the dog)
First taste comes across as bitter, but then the fruit starts get noticed. Not the sort of wine to rush, seems a glass can last an hour or so. Probably a little too fruity for my liking. It has a strong taste, which sits heavy. One wine I’d probably not like to burp back up. The bottle states it’s ideal for roasts, inclined to agree with it. Washed down with beef and gravy it would most likely be less strong. Tested with cheese and biscuits it’s not too bad.
