This is my first WordPress iPhone app blog and it’s on the train ride(3 hours!!) to Exeter, the Southwest of England.
Anyway my travelling companion was kind enough to purchase a tiny bottle (25cl) of M&S’s Shiraz/Cab (it’s about£2 or £3).
At first sight of the eye-dropper sized bottle I wrinkled my nose. But I don’t know if it’s the need for a drink or anticipation of the weekend holiday…but goshdarnit this stuff ain’t half bad.
Admittedly, there was a slight petroleum nose hovering above the sweet smell of spicy blackberry, however I think the odd scent is the product of the combined plastic glass and plastic bottle.
The palate is silky smooth and with a nice kick of ribena.
And all together a fine travelling wine — it does not though, match at all well with s&v crisps, be warned.
