UB40 featuring Ali and Astro Red Red Wine 2019 review

Reggae band UB40’s 1983 number 1 Neil Diamond cover version hit of Red Red Wine has inspired this branded bottling of a Bordeaux red made with Merlot and Petit Verdot. The rich and slightly sweet aromas of cherry and milk chocolate with a touch of meatiness is not matched in the flavour which is more about sharp redcurrant with a touch of the tannins. A nice wine but at over £20 this is one for the fans as similar supermarket own-brand Bordeaux reds are available at £7-£10. A limited edition wine but there still some bottles of their 2016 release of a similar Bordeaux Red Red Wine also at £28.50. Match to spicy food or pizza.
