Part of the core range, this really is quite remarkable quality for a claret at under £6! I mean, it's not going to set the world alight, but this has a little age, and good Bordeaux typicity – expressive, black berry fruit, some cedar and boot polish character, and supple tannins. What many would refer to as a perfectly acceptable 'luncheon claret'. Lamb chops, anyone?
