Worth choosing another one

2 stars

Extremely poor quality wine. Extremely low viscosity gives the effect of drinking water. Very little flavour beyond an untidy vinegary bitterness and smell. Poured the bottle away after trying less than a glass amongst 3 people. Whilst some say that this wine is cheap, (and it is certainly not expensive) some of its price competitors and even cheaper wines provide a much better flavour and finish.

Best French label at Tesco's!

5 stars

Don't listen to the negative reviews. This is a wonderful Bprdeaux for the price. It has a real aromatic complexity with good depth of fruit. Great wine considering it is from the stable of Jean René Matignon, Technical Director of Château Pichon Baron, 2nd Grand Cru Classé Pauillac. Not bad for the French shelf at Tesco's!!! And there isn't much else selected by Tesco's that stands even close to this. I sincerely hope it comes back as I'm down to my last 2 bottles.

Plain simple bordeaux

2 stars

Very "ordinaire" no real character. Nothing wrong with it - just boring. But at that price I suppose you get what you pay for.

Great

5 stars

Great wine, I hope it will be back soon

Disappointing, used for cooking

3 stars

The taste is good, a medium body, but it's just not of very good quality. This isn't to sound snooty, but – usually – a good-quality Bordeaux in this price range will not give my husband headaches. (I usually don't get a headache unless it's a very cheap or American wine.) Sharing just a *third* of this bottle, however, gave both of us such bad headaches and congestion that we had to take a paracetamol the next morning. Such a pity. We used the rest for cooking.

Cheep for decent supermarket wine

Charisma with a Superior Finish

5 stars

This is a very nice smooth red of superior quality, but has a velvety finish to it which is what I love about red's in general. Acidity was just right and there was a nice burning sensation down the back of the throat which is always a plus in my book. A complex, but sophisticated bottle of wine that I find has charisma. A truly encouraging wine.
