With the current double discount these are down to £4.86. I've not tried any of my 2 yet. Is it worth getting more at this price Duncan?

Tinpot Hut? I haven't seen this, but a quick search and it would appear that although no supermarket stocks it, it is available in a lot of independents. I'l have a look next time I'n in my local indy.

Yes,

'07 Rhone and a good Crusted port

3 x Michel Chapoutier '07 Côtes du Roussillon and 2 x Tain Crozes Hermitage "Les 3 Lys" '07 gives you some decent house red with interest and 1 x Graham's Crusted '02, to qualify for the 25% promo, and you have a very good value 6 box for £33.70.

Yeah, makes a load of sense, and doesn't hurt the card.

Cheers

I got the double discount on the Chapoutier last time around. Not tried these but have a soft spot for Roussillon having visited a few producers there. Do you think its worth getting more at £6.75?

A couple of the others I fancied that are on double disco are the RW Lodi Zinfadel which I have not had for ages but always used to be pretty good, and the Yali Carmenere that Mel starred recently.

Tribs,

I ploughed my way through most of another bottle of this last night.

It was really great for the dosh and this bottle definitely gets a when on the double disco. Also a fair cop at £6.49

Significant bottle variance on this one, I sincerely hope the others I have are from the same batch.

Lovely, and more approachably satisfying, fuller and better fruit than the expensive Jean Luc-Colombo from Waitress. My only minor complaint was the lack of a tannic streak / scaffolding, that the JLC Crozes had more of....But it weren't soft in the head and stupid.

The M. Chapoutier Cotes de Roussillon was back to £8.99, no extra disco, so Sainsbury's read my post when I scored last time. Damn, I should keep schtung .....

I've been pigging out on '07 Rhone, I hope it doesn't all end in tears, if, or when the hyped '09s turn out to be an upbeat Hype.-

I was browsing a vintage chart the other day. It had Southern Rhone as a 10 for 2007. 2009 was only an 8 but time will tell. I'm glad of this as I have a good few of these now. Will open one soon.

In the two stores I visited they were running low on the 07's. The new stock coming in was 06

Get Well Soon Mr T, then you can take another tannic hit with pleasure

IMHO .....Cheap '06 southern rhone is not a safe punt blind - but then - versus the '08s blind ? Tricky
