Wrong vintage bad enough..

...but last 2 bottles corked - undrinkable. Have to assume some bad cellaring somewhere.

Wrong vintage

Like someone else ordered as listed as 2015 vintage.Was sent a 2020 instead .It was awful & after trying one glass the rest was poured down the sink . Husbands comments - slight vinegar smell on opening .Taste was bitter & lacked any fruitiness . Check the vintage before accepting it !

Wrong vintage by 5 years!

Bought this on 5th Oct as it was listed as vintage 2015 however Ocado delivered 2020 vintage a difference in 5 years! The 2015 Bordeaux vintage was exceptional & this is precisely why I ordered this bottle. Ocado wine team - please update your wine listing to show the correct vintage that you have in stock. This is a grave mistake selling something different from what you have listed. The vintage of a wine especially for a Bordeaux or Burgundy can make or break the wine. The exact same wine can taste like nectar or harsh & cheap depending on the vintage especially when comparing with an outstanding vintage such as 2015. I hope Ocado wine team will not decide to get rid of vintage details from wine listing all together to make things easier for them as less updating , that will be a grave mistake.
