  Still good

  Had about my 6th bottle of this wine with a roast tonight. Good aroma, plum, bit of spice. Decent length and still plenty of power. Never ceases to surprise me how good this wine is for less than £10.

  Best value Bdx at this price

  I buy and sell Bdxs at auction and at the moment the market is full of overpriced junk completely unrepresentative of their supposed appellations. But this is a gem, buy 12 and drink now, and at xmas. Its not a keeper but its a truly representative Medoc and shows just how under valued the 2001 vintage is.

  Disappointing

  I'm a bit fed up with buying medocs from Majestic and ending up wondering why I bothered. This lacks any real fruit and makes you realise that the New World just does it better. On special offer it's not expensive but it's not a wine to remember.

  Not very good

  I'm really disappointed with this 2006 vintage. It lacks any real character and tastes quite cheap. I've tasted much better stuff for much less. Not worth the money in my view.

  Excellent value

  Excellent value. Very smooth and has the taste of a much more expensive bordeaux. Quite a bit of sediment though but given its less than £10 you should not complain.

  excessive sedement

  The wine was nice, but the sedement in the bottle spoiled the last glass, and a bit surprised how much there was.

    Sediment in this type of wine is a good thing and a sign of quality!

  An underlying softness of development (2004 Vintage)

  "With an underlying softness of development, there's an attractive liquorice and aniseed aroma taking charge here while the obvious tannins making the plum fruit of the wine stand up straight. Rating: 87/100 (The Wine Gang, www.thewinegang.com November 2012)"

• • TELEGRAPH

  Soft, layered wine (2004 Vintage)

  "The gentle, cedary character of mature claret has an affinity with the deliciously earthy flavours of the mushrooms. This soft, layered wine from the Medoc is not only a natural match but also a steal at this price. (Giles Kime, Sunday Telegraph, 7th October 2012)"

  • Saturday Times - Winter Top 100 Under £8, Star Buy

  "Gorgeous, mature, truffley, cedary Christmas claret at a tasty price, given that other vintages sell for nearer £20. Remarkably, Grivière’s merlot, cabernets sauvignon and franc vineyards were bought from first-growth Lafite 20 years ago, which helps to explain why this cru bourgeois is so good."
