I have no affiliation with Aldi stores, I get no kickbacks or favours, I bought this wine myself. I think the 2022 vintage is around, but in my local Aldi store we’re still on this 2021.

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaret River and I have to say, given that it costs $20, that I got a bit of a shock when I tasted it. A good shock. It has genuine depth of fruit flavour, it’s balanced, it has a bit of grunt to the tannin and while it’s drinking beautifully now, you could cellar it. All for $20.
