I quite like this surprisingly given the bad reviews. It's a bit like a Blaufränkisch but with a warmer finish. Strawberries and cherries, liqourice and spice, a bit of burnt rubber. Warm finish.

Vina Chocolan Origen Gran Reserva Cabernet Franc 2019, Maipo Valley, Chile
Blackcurrant, raspberry, green pepper, milk chocolate, grippy tannic finish. I was expecting this to be a bit more lush given the 14.5% alcohol.

Bodega Norton Temprano Chardonnay 2019, Mendoza, Argentina
Apple, lemon, pineapple, earthy and minerally on the finish. High acid which makes for a juicy fruity wine. Fruit fades as wine warms up though.

The Dalmatian Dog 2018, Black Island Winery D.O.O., Primorska, Sjeverna Dalmacija, Croatia
Blueberry, raspberry, cherry. Quite acidic but it gives the wine a nice refreshing lift.

Greystone Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury, New Zealand
The first thing I got was passionfruit. Lots and lots of passionfruit then the lemon and a bit of blackcurrant and leafinesss kicked in. There is a slight honey sweetness here.

Oxford Landing Chardonnay 2020, Riverland, Australia
A glugger! Pears, apples, tropical fruits but nothing I can pick out, butter and a bit of oak. Simple but nice and smooth. Goes down a treat and a nice wine for the price.
