No I don't think so.

Treat yourself to a bottle of Faustino 1, you can pick it up for around £13, let it breath for an hour, must be one of the best wines under 50 notes.

Good deal on the Pap :sunglasses:

Thanks for that, It was a first for me haha

Aldi do s Pape for £7 which is on a par with this.

I actually bought a bottle of this 2 or 3 weeks ago after seeing it on offer at Asda. With it costing £9 I thought it'd be a good bottle, and given it was £14.50 initially I thought it might be a very good one and I'd treat myself.

Perhaps I was just unlucky, but it was shocking. Perhaps it was corked, or that particular bottle was off, but it was so bad that I forced myself to drink 1 glass, poured another (which I threw away), then threw out the other half of the bottle. If I'd kept the receipt I'd have taken it back half empty and asked for a refund.

Now perhaps I got a bad bottle, but I think I'll be buying full priced £5-6 bottles in future and keeping the receipt!

2013 was not a good year for Southern Rhone
