On this wine tasting and review video; Benjamin and Louise find themselves very disappointed with a French Cabernet Sauvignon, produced by a well-known brand!
They discover that despite the grand looking bottle; it’s sadly lacking and over dry, with little depth of flavour and missing blackcurrant fruit notes (from the description on the bottle).
Unfortunately, Becking Light wouldn’t choose this wine again.
They manage to have a great night together regardless, and towards the end of the video decide they will very likely move onto whiskey instead; which can be seen in the next video! In summary unfortunately ‘not every French wine is great’.
