A fairly modest Còtes du Rhône Villages, with light to medium weight berry fruit, a touch of sweetness and average length. Not bad.

A pretty nondescript wine in all ways, drinkable and forgettable in equal measure, there are better versions of the grape out there.

2022 Sainsbury's Marzemino Trentino Taste the Difference

more

2/13/2024 - angelcyn Likes this wine: NR

A supermarket red with a bit of a bite to it, typical of the grape without being anything other than a slightly different everyday red, at least it was an original addition to the range, worth a try .

1/22/2024 - angelcyn Likes this wine: NR

Another from a range that has more plusses than misses, dark fresh blackcurrant fruit decent mouthful and some length, not for keeping but this could probably do with a few months in bottle as very fresh.

The rest of these in my cellar were used during the Christmas period, my original notes stand firm, this is /was a bargain not sadly to be repeated anytime soon.
As good an example of the grape as virtually anything available in MHO, much appreciated by all who sampled it, for a supermarket this was an exceptional discovery.

2021 Sainsbury's Bordeaux Taste the Difference

Sauvignon Blanc more

12/2/2023 - johnrm Likes this wine: 87 points

A very pale in colour with a restrained, mainly gooseberry, nose. Mainly gooseberry on the palate with citrus fruits and some tropical fruit hints. Fair acidity and quite long with a rich, almost 'oily' ending (nice). A good value (currently on offer at £7 minus 25%), straightforward Bordeaux SB with some 'New World' influence. Good with smoked salmon and prawns in a spicy sauce.

Pale lemon.

Medium plus intensity on the nose with blossom, apple, pear, peach and lemon. Youthful.

Medium plus intensity and offdry on the palate. High acidity, medium alcohol, light body, medium finish.

Drink now. Not suitable for aging or further aging.

Enjoyable, easy drinking bubbles.

Honey and peach on the nose, some sweetness and acidity.
Fades quickly but then there's a touch of toastiness on the finish which is odd in a wine so young.
It's ok. Jesus, it's £5 a bottle. Well, it's much better than you'd expect for the money. The producer is probably making about 5p a bottle.

This is decent considering the price, citrus/lemony freshness and subtle minerality. Not too expressive, but not too flabby as well. Refreshing and easy. 12.5%. Possible buy-again, if price is relevant.
