Tesco Finest Crozes Hermitage 2005 AOC

Wine appellation: Crozes Hermitage
Vintage: 2005
Alcohol content: 12.5%

This is a bit disappointment of what you might expect from the appellation. In this case Tesco did not make the right choice. I would guess the main reason was the budget as they had to fit the bottle to CZK 199, which in case of Crozes Hermitage is almost impossible:)
