M&S Ardeche Gamay.

Fair play for getting a Gamay out there for £4.95 but this is atrocious stuff. I can taste absolutely no Gamay like features of any kind here. I can't even bring myself to finish the bottle. A far cry from Yapp Bros Ardeche offering which I think came in at £9. This is a false economy if ever there was one.

Chinon 2009

Insipid Cabernet Franc. Expected better from Waitrose. Lacking any distinguishing features. Little in the way of backbone. Relatively poor value for £10.
