• Sharp, like a freshly cut Apple or Gooseberry
• Undertones of heady Passion Fruit and Fig
• The impact of a herbacious border in Spring, an accumulation of light floral smells
• Like crushed blackcurrant leaves, at once sharp and green yet fruity

Unable to hold ourselves back it was straight on to the taste test.

• Tart, like grapefruit or orange rind
• A soothing, dry, lychee flavour
• Refreshing like fresh white grape juice with cucumber
• Quite a strong after taste but not unpleasant

Overall, we liked this wine and thought it ideal as a party wine, probably perfect with canapes like salmon, prawns or a light, creamy cheese. We thought this would retail at an unscary £8 whilst it is in fact £6.99 before your £25 discount. Get £25 off a case of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

The Results Continued: Syrah/Shiraz
As before, we present the results in order of appearance, nose and taste.

• Very dark, velvety and leggy
• Like a liquid Black Forest Gateau
• Silk, black Cherry and dark Chocolate
• A solid, demanding, Grace Jones quality

On the nose the general concensus was:

• Like tropical earth after a rainstorm
• A spicy and chocolatey hit
• Church incence and vanilla
• Musk, pepper and mustard in concert

On the palate the taste elicited a delightedly mixed review:

• Meaty, beaty big and bouncy
• Cloves, pepper and methol combine for a smooth sip
• A powerful hit to the back of the throat with a sharp after taste and a hit to the nose
• Ideal with a big meaty roast, this needs a challenge

The comparison with Grace Jones in appearance certainly seemed borne out by the taste! We rated this wine as costing in the region of £8, in fact you can pick it up for £ 6.99 before your discount.

This wine was felt to be best taken with a good hearty roast as on it's own it would scare the horses. We agreed that a little more age might benefit this wine, not too long, just a year or so. In addition, it was felt that we should have let this wine breathe a little more (it had been open for 35 minutes prior to tasting). Get £25 off a case of South African Syrah.

The Results Continued: Temperanillo Crianza
In appearance the descriptions ranged widely:

• Leggy and syrupy like Port
• Chocolatey red, like a Ruby Port
• Deep purple, smoke on the water (is there a musical theme here?)
• Solid with a well formed tone and colour

On the nose there was broad concensus and favour:

• Raisins and dates with a sweet, cakey note
• Leather and rum
• An almost medicinal quality, like a favourite cough syrup
• Fennel, caramel and a good and chocolatey fruit and nut bar

Right! We liked this one, it looked good and smelt good. We couldn't wait to taste it and we were not disappointed.

• Deceptively light, polite and well structured
• A wine to relax with, like a warm fruity pudding in a glass
• Complex yet smooth chocolate, pepper, caramel and butter
• Cinammon sweetness with a well formed dry and fruity note, well structured and satisfyingly rich but very good right now!

The Temperanillo (Crianza) was a wine we felt would work with or without food. Price wise we thought this was easily a £10 wine. In fact it is £ 7.49 before your discount! Get £25 off a case of the Crinel 2005 Temperanillo.
