WINE NO 1. 2020 MAR I MUNTANYA EMPORDA GARNACH SPAIN. 14.5%VOL. PURCHASED FROM LIDL AT £5.99.
This offering had a good healthy appearance with a strong red colour. The bouquet was pleasant but week. There was a strong sweetness with balanced acidity, little tannins and a medium body. Good flavour was evident with some lasting taste. This wine was enjoyed and attracted an average score of 7.5/10.
WINE NO 2. 2020 PONCE DE LEON TEMPRANILLO SPAIN. 14%VOL. PURCHASED FROM LIDL AT £4.99.
From Northern Spain this wine had a bright appearance, with deep ruby tones. The bouquet had a slightly musty smell with plum overtones, but was well balanced with strong tannins. It had a medium body and good fruit taste. The flavour did last and we gave it an average score of 6/10. There was a mixed reaction to this wine, which was perhaps understandable given the price!
