June 1, 2020 - Tesco supermarket UK £9.00, an own-label wine but made for them by Maison Arthur Metz in Alsace, the 'Finest' label is Tesco's top end level.
91-92/100
Tasted well chilled, 6-7c, popped n poured.
Bargain. This wine felt like a £15+ wine. Classy for a supermarket own-label wine.
C....gd straw, looks med+ body
N....rose petals, rose water, lychee, only medium intensity
T....floury/pithy tannins, med-H mouth feel, very gd essence, nice wet stone/pebble/slate minerals but not intense; drizzled lemon juice on ripe pineapple, apples, marzipan, ground almonds; some power, acid is still there but not thrilling, drink up before it fades. Not especially dry, but who cares? No flabby clumsy fruit-bomb, this. Drink up, can't see it getting any better, drinking very well at 2 yrs old.
VFMoney?.....outstanding bargain, this 2018. Probably worth twice it's £9.00 retail price. -

February 29, 2020 - Bought retail Tesco's UK £9.00 Jan 2020
Supermarket own-label wine, but Tesco's upper level label. Pleasently surprised at how good this was, will buy the 2018 again.
Nice concentration, good fruit with balancing acidity, decent length. Seemed to me if this was a branded wine - well, it's made on contract at Maison Arthur Metz - it'd be on the market for maybe £15.00
C....straw, looks heavy body
N....medium intensity, rose petals, rosewater
T.....heavy body mouth feel; attractive power and concentration, white pepper, warm alc; big lush/round white fruits, lychees and gentle spice; acid is not swirling but there's enough of it; I had hoped it would be a bit drier.
VFM?.....the 2018 is a bargain.1 person found this helpful Comment
