    Advantages Advantages Delicious full bodied wine

    1 Star Quick review of Tesco Finest Chateauneuf du Pape by freddyokel 24/11/2007
    Bought this wine at 11.98ukp because I fancied a bit of a treat and I'm a Chateauneuf fan. However, I found it very dry, tanic and lacking in the full flavour I expect from a Chateauneuf. Awful. I'm taking it back for a refund tomorrow.
