Supermarket Own-Label Taste-Off: Sainsbury's vs. Tesco (16 Berkeley Square): Very good, light oaking, nice warm peppery nose, good acid, nice bitter tannins (but not off-putting). Best with somewhat lighter food than for most Shiraz. Decent value as currently reduced to £5.32, perhaps not so worth it at £7.99 but not a bad effort.
