It's only wine but I like it

A bit of a disappointment here. Some decent blackberry fruit and pepper marred by the slightly off taste (skunky as DL aptly puts it) of used coffee grounds. There is enough good flavour here to provide some pleasure but thopse odd flavours really detract....and I do love the distinctiveness of thes wines of the south of France, but not when they are wierd). Tasted Feb 2015.
