2002 wasn't a great year either in Bordeaux IIRC (not as bad as 2001 tho).
Also, you should be able to buy Faustino I (Grand Reaserva) at £20, certainly I sell it at approx. £20.Posted 1 year ago # -

In the 15-20 range i'd say the safest bet would be a Chateauneuf du Pape. Usually fabulous.
Was on sale in Sainsburys earlier this week for £10. Picked up a couple whilst I was there.Posted 1 year ago # -

Good alternative to Rioja region- try a Ribera del Duero, tend to benefit from aging, so less easy-drinking until they're aged a bit.
Especially something from the Pesquera vineyard (or bodega I guess!). Oddbins often have some in stock, otherwise may be hard to find. That Castillo ygay up there is lovely too!Posted 1 year ago # -
To solve these kind of problems I just go to a proper wine shop, Villeneueves or Peter Greens if you are in Edinburgh. There is a very snooty french guy at the one in Peebles for some reason that makes me think he must know his stuff !
