An arresting Bordeaux blend (52% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, 10.5% Malbec, 9% Petit Verdot, 1.5% Cabernet Sauvignon). Smoky from oak ageing, with magnificent berry fruits and leathery undertones. Enjoy 2010-20. (£25)

No - all I need to know is the alcohol and the region (46 vote , 10 %)
Yes - but it's what's in cheaper wines that we need to know about (306 vote , 66 %)
Possibly - but it looks like a bit of a gimmick to me (113 vote , 24 %)
Thanks, your vote has been counted!
