This is not good ordinary claret, this is Tesco's good ordinary claret, and as such, dumps on similarly priced offerings from some of its more upmarket (ahem) competitors.
Beautiful nose of plums/cherries, very clean pure well balanced wine with black fruits and flowers.
The best cheapo bordeaux ever.

Updated. Sorry, but as an example of a sexy young well-made bordeaux to accompany food, I underrated this. Balance is terrific, so pure, so cool, 8/10. Not complex, but immaculate in its own way.
Updated again, April 13th. Mistakenly bought at the full price as I had good memories, but forgot what it cost me. A minor disappointment for the twelve or so quid they have it at normally.
Bought 18 bottles in Normsndy for €60 a delightful bargain
