I brought a bottle of this home the other night, opened it, poured two glasses, left them in the kitchen and stepped in to have a shower. When I emerged I found that my wife had come home. She was sitting on the couch in the living room with a glass of the Can Blau in her hand- she smiled, looked at me and raised the glass saying ‘I didn’t know cheap wine could be like this.’ To be honest this wine is like nothing I’ve ever experience before (I’m only 23, but I’ve had my share of wine) it’s colour and texture are like deep velvet, the nose boasts raspberry and mulberry richness which follows through into a sour-cherry entry and a seamless, lingering finish. I have to agree with my wife, except I remove the ‘cheap’ part. I never knew wine could be like this.
