Merchant's description
Quite a clever little wine that has more even charm than any Colin Firth character. This wine is as eager to please as Love Actually but has enough integrity to make you think of The King's Speech. Light in body but not shy of flavour. Little to no oak, so just gratifying, bright cherry lead, Tempranillo flavours.
