The last time I bought this wine, the 2002 vintage, it had a different label and a very different taste. The writing was on the wall with the different label but in the interest of bloggers integrity or some crap like that I figured I'd try it again and the results of the Lithuanian jury are now in...
Name: Lidl Baturrica Tarragona
Year: 2004
Price: €6-49
Notes: An entirely different wine to the last time, in fact apart from the name on the label, I don't see any connection to the last wine. This tasted cheap, fruity and unpleasant, I tried to drink it but on Sunday nights I like to drink something nice and have some smelly cheese with it and I couldn't face drinking this and this alone.

Rating: 4/10 - if you like this style of wine, like a cheap badly made Aussie Shiraz, this Buds for you.
After we poured this down the sink we cracked open the Lidl Chianti, it was fine; perfectly drinkable but nothing special, not very Chianti like, then again what do you expect for €5-65?
