Undrinkable

Maybe this was corked (although the bottle has no cork) or stored in too warm a temperature and thus ruined, but this was the most undrinkable wine I have ever ordered from Ocado. It went straight down the sink. Refund requested.

I really liked this wine

Full bodied and a nice deep fruity taste. I found it to be good value for money when its on offer, have re-ordered!

Very nice

Not normally into red wine, so this was a nice surprise for me. Perhaps I have a more accommodating palate than regular red wine drinkers, as it's clear that not everyone liked this, but I would definitely have it again.

Not good

I bought this when on offer but wish I hadn't bothered. The Calvet products are usually reliable and good quality. This is thin, characterless and very acidic. Have some Gaviscon handy!

Terrible!

Sharp, vinegary, terrible. I am amazed that anyone has rated this any higher! Please save your money and grab a better bottle instead!
