Masi 2011 Modello delle Venezie Rosso

Our third bottle of the evening, and lest the suspense become unbearable, this was the clear favourite. Wine favourite, that is.

Liam was desperate to get in on the fun, and determined after taking a drip from my finger that it 'tastes like beer!' and the cork 'smells like cardboard!' The wine tasting skills may have skipped a generation, Pop!

It smelt like dried berries, and tasted like walnuts (or maybe even banana bread!) It was smooth and had more legs than the Castaño 2009 Hécula Monastrell.

The label appeared to be of Venetian bilge water, but that's nit picking.

Everyone liked it, and voted that it was one to buy again.
