The Tesco stuff is only 12.5%, but doesn't have that 'thin & acid' character - neither is it too 'fruity' - it is going down quite well ;)

Y'know, I tried this stuff last year (it was the 2006 vintage then) and it was rubbish then but I thought I'd give this one another chance seeing as it's one of the featured wines this week but it's just as bad. Rather than a sign of quality, I think the featured wine thing has now become a platform to shift stuff of questionable quality which they have too much of.

They even have the cheek to put a sticker proclaiming "2007 historic vintage" on the neck, which it wasn't of course so that should have been enough warning. My own fault I guess.
