Tesco Wine Bargain - Lalande de Pomerol

[Slaav]

Croix des Bardes 2006

Before I open the 2nd bottle to ensure that the 1st was not a fluke... this gets a big thumbs up!

From memory, was 50% off or possibly 25% at worst but IMHO, a total bargain if you like this type of wine.

Anyone else tried it?

Just thought that the initial post was pointless without this (hope it works):

£7.49 - half price apparently!

Hmmm... a review I found online said it was worth buying at £14.99.

This could be Boswellox of course, but worth checking out nevertheless.

Thanks for the tip.

I would consider buying at that price but be very careful.....

Every time I look at Tesco wines, I find something from Saturday Kitchen or another 'bargain' but at least I try not to buy for the same or more than elsewhere...

They do some cracking deals unfortunately and that drags me into my megastore occasionally. (honest - that is the only reason)

Hope that emoticon works...

I got wind of this while out with friends on Saturday evening.

Since I was planning to buy a decent bottle and a few nibbles to watch the Grand Prix on a Sunday I thought I'd give it a go - haven't had a Pomerol in years;



Very nice wine for the £7 price tag, I wouldn't feel ripped off at the full price. Felt dirty going into Tescos though.....

It was, unfortunately. The wife is away and frankly, in the shopping vs garage/motorsport time stakes, the shopping needs to be done as quickly as possible.

It's only a few minute drive from the Petrus vineyard

If anyone's planning on visiting the Leatherhead outpost of the Evil Empire, don't bother since I've just liberated their entire stock.

A trip to the local butcher has offset the guilt - £6.30 for 4 burgers.

However these are exceptionally good.

Had a look online and it's only a breakfast wine anyway, so the tumbler is a suitable glass.

Had a bottle of it last night and have another for this evening to make sure it was not a one off. Tasted pretty good but I felt a bit rough this morning.

Called into our Tesco on the way home, on the strength of this thread, they ain't got none!

[Mobile Chicane]

I think the trick is to find a pikey one.

Leatherhead and New Malden still had stock of the half-price Rioja posted recently, some days after the posh Tesco at Brooklands had run out.

[Slaav]

And it is not online anymore (well it wont be in a minute!)

[dan101smith]

Just been to Tesco Tring and they don't have it.

Picked up a bottle of Saint Joseph instead. I'm sure it'll be lovely with some hotdogs later.

Indeed. Just returned from the Aldershot branch and it is awash with the stuff.

Bought a couple of bottles myself which I shall sample in a moment.
