Bordeaux Merlot - Case of 6

This was a Christmas gift for my brother and his wife. They rang to say it is a very pleasant smooth red wine. Like me, they are not wine experts, but they are enjoying it.

A lovely rich fruity flavour. Would definitely buy again.

Really poor. Name brand Chilean Merlot ‘CDD’ significantly better

Acceptable for a table wine. Light enough to serve with pasta and veggie dishes at a casual dinner with mates, but it's not got the balance of acidity v fresh flavour that I'd expect from a true Merlot.

This is one of the worst wines we have tasted. It is so sharp that it could burn your insides! Merlot is usually mild and not dry. One to return!

Was given a bottle of this wine for xmas. Opened it and was more than hugely disappointed. The wine lacked body and taste. Had I have bought it for myself I would be returning today. Much better and less expensive wines can be found elsewhere. Definitely not worth anywhere near £7 per bottle.

smooth red,always consistant

I have a preference for French and Italian red wines from M&S. The wine maybe a little more expensive than elsewhere but the quality is usually good. This is an exception. It is bitter with a nasty after taste. Horrible. Maybe it is a duff batch considering the other reviews are quite good.

Not sure what the award was for “best red vinegar” perhaps! Really not a nice wine. You would be annoyed paying £5 a bottle let alone near £10. Best avoided.

I have been drinking this wine for years without ever once being disappointed. In a blind tasting it beat a vintage bordeaux of three times the cost. One to have in stock at all times. I find it a delicious accompaniment to all foods, even delicate fish like trout. A good sign is that, in my experience, M&S seems to run out of this wine more quickly than any other.
