A couple of bottles I've had over the last 10 days or so:
1) I've mentioned this one before (can't remember what I wrote): 2018 Coonawarra - The Second Fleet. £6.99 from Sainsbury. A red - (Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot.)

Not bad - seemed to taste better on 2nd day. Not sure I'd bother with it again though.
2) A 2017 Malbec from Chile's Colchaglia Valley.Brand name Montes.

£8.99 from specialist wine seller on Easter Rd.
It was OK. Again, I wasn't blown away. Too dear for what it was. I also bought a bottle of Maker's Mark Bourbon while I was in there. Haven't opened it yet. Had a bottle ages ago and remember liking it. Quite sweet.
