Medium Fruity Red anyone?

Thanks Roberto,

I'll keep my eyes open...

I took the trip to France mentioned earlier, and bought a case and a half of wine to 'try'.

I bought:

12 bottles of Italian valpolicella from Cantina Sociale di Soave S.C.R.L. (whoever they are) (vintage not displayed)

6 bottles of German Pinot Noir branded 'Fire Mountain' from Zimmermann-Graeff. 2000 vintage.

To clarify my tastes even more, both my wife and myself found both of these wines very acidic, and tannin-y.
Almost as if there was a chemical kind of scent and taste, sort of nail polish (remover?) almost, if you know what i mean.

Having said that, there was very little 'bite' to these, and were quite light, but still having the undesired chemical aftertaste.
Oh well, i was half way there with the lightness!

Thanks to Drew, for the web address..
although this doesn't seem to be the producer of 'Hidden Vineyards', like you, i would have thought it was too.
I have found the supplier to ASDA, and mailed them, although they haven't replied yet, so either they are very busy, or they think i'm a crank! I'll let you know.

Thanks for all suggestions and help chaps.

Andy.
