Muddy red/black - just the slightest hint of bricking at the rim. Strawberries, hay and faint celery seed top notes. Full and dense on the palate, not fading to any degree. Fresh acidity and balanced oak. Superb value at £10.

    4/18/13, 2:26 PM - I agree - Tesco's pricing policy seems to be "double it and then later sell it at the correct price with a half price sale sticker", I normally avoid them completely.

    This was a recommendation from Jancis Robinson - I have dug out another bottle tonight and tried it (this is the third bottle that I have drunk of this wine): there is a degree of bottle variation - the first one was quite a bit denser and more youthful, the second and third bottles are a bit more aged - however, with an hour or so in the decanter the wine takes on a bit more body. I see that the £10 "deal" is back on again - I might have another case. Not a great wine, but a jolly good one for the price.
