2022 Sainsbury's Marzemino Trentino Taste the Differencemore |
2/13/2024 - angelcyn Likes this wine: NRA 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: NRAnother 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. |

2021 Sainsbury's Bordeaux Taste the DifferenceSauvignon Blanc more |
12/2/2023 - johnrm Likes this wine: 87 pointsA 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. |
