Roc de Lussac 2009

Yeah, another one of those offers. £13.99 normally, but you can get 2 for 10 quid at the moment. So why is this wine always on at 'half price' ??

Only a fucking lunatic would pay £13.99 for this, Sainsbury's taking the piss yet again pretending that cheap swill is the bargain of the century, when in fact it is cheap swill.

However, at 2 for a tenner, it's probably the best supermarket £5 bordeaux out there right now. And the best vintage of this frequently-marked-down stuff I've tasted. So - excellent concentration, good balance, tastes like Bordeaux.

But like all other vintages of this wine, the oak is weird. The finish is very savoury and dry as a result. Bizarre.

Roc de Lussac 2009, 2 for £10, very good for that. 6.5/10, Sainsburys.
