Classy, robust, sophisticated, long-lived, complex but approachable - these and many other adjectives can be used to describe the Falco. And also this similarly named Italian red wine:

Seriously, this is a delicious wine and is a worthy compliment to our steed, but only after the day's riding has finished, of course. I bought this from Aldi or Lidl (can't honestly remember which) and it was no more than £10 a bottle, possibly less. It's proper serious wine, but you don't need to be a wine buff to appreciate it.

I'll look out for that one. No doubt they'll be going pretty fast...

This is the puppy -

From the comments it appears it was from Lidl and did in fact cost a tenner. Most of the tasting notes correspond well with what I found in the wine. I bought 3 of these and have only drunk one, so I'll try and forget about the other two. Won't be easy...
