Tesco Finest Chateau Le Barrail Medoc 75cl

Expert Opinion

In the press...

Of the 2010 vintage, Matthew Jukes said: "Produced from the classic Bordeaux combo of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this tidy claret punches way above its price with dusty tannins, real heart and lovely fresh cassis fruit. Decant it to release the maximum flavour."

Of the 2010 vintage, Hamish Anderson said: "The overall quality of everyday Bordeaux has never been higher, yet the region's traditional, elitist image holds it back - claret could do with an injection of hip. A shame because when they get it right, like this mid-weight, herb and blackcurrant scented bottle, they are among the most distinct and best-value wines the vinous world has to offer."
