โฆ. got a text from Mark Reynolds saying this little number is the best heโs ever had ๐คช so I had to have a go ๐คฃTasting: Chateau Nico Lazaridi Red from Drama from Greece
Is this the best red wine in the world? Well, Mark Reynolds says so. He sent me a little message saying, “Try Chatau Niko Lazaridi from the drama region in Greece.” Now, Fred, you whack up a map and I’m going to get this in the glass. So, it’s a blend of Cabernet Sven, Merlo, bit of Sanjioves, deep color. Can we have a look at that? So far so good, Mark Reynolds. Right. Well, now we’ll have a little sniff. Smells a little bit like a badger’s [ย __ย ] Let’s see if it tastes a little bit better. Here we go. It’s got that sort of 20 cigarettes chomping through it kind of flavor with a little bit of plum and a little bit of raspberry. It’s not a bad wine, but Mark, it’s 15 quid or something there or thereabouts. And it does smell like a badger’s bum. So, I reckon you and I probably need to get out a bit more, find something really properly decent. But until we do, I’m going to keep slurping this. Well done.

Filmed with a wine bottle
Iโve never had the pleasure of sniffing a badgerโs arsehole. I suspect itโs not easily achieved without risk of serious injury. Perhaps you could demonstrate in a future video?
How does he know what a badgers bum smells like? ๐ง๐คจ
Got to go some to beat the great Retsina wines from Greece. Seriously Greek wine is incredibly good these days.
So, in a word: No.
Clarkson meets Fearnley Whittingsall
I like how we zoomed into the map so far we could almost see the farmer scratching his balls on the veranda
He needs to stay away from badgers the odd little man
You need to hit the Gaillac reds… the whites are tosh but the reds are complex and massively underrated.
Next time I see a badger, should I try to catch it and do some sniffing to give me a frame of reference?
Castellare Chianti has some of that manly Marlboro Red flavor, in a good way though. Itโs a great wine.

Really good of Tom putting in the hours sniffing various animals arses so he can give us an accurate smell profile. Respect!
Itโs a pretty bottle.
More concerned how you know what a badgers arsehole smells like ๐
Yewtree got Mark Reynolds in the end
Where do I need to go to smell a badgers arsehole so I can use it as future reference point
Hi Tom, question, how many variety's of red grapes are there in the world? Arbitrary answer, 100.. ergo I should only here about Cab Sav in your content once in 100 episodes. Please!!!!! Variety
Is Mark Reynolds related to Pete Reynolds (Beckenham/Cyprus )??
Nope! La Clape 2017 from LโHospitalet. Thatโs the best red in the world.
You have the advantage on me in that I have no idea what a badger's bum smells like.
Tom, you are almost a caricature of yourself. Love it.
Tastes like an ashtray fashioned from a badger's shitepipe
