3.4. Very nice red Bordeaux blend. On sale for $23.99 — 4 months ago
Vintage 2015 | I forgot that I drank this wine 4 years ago, but 🫶 to delectable. Same velvety taste. Joyful fruit expressions. 60 Merlot 30 Cabernet Franc 10 Cabernet Sauvignon 12 m in barrels. A wine that clearly punches above its classification. Wonderful. Paired with salad and American pizza. — 2 months ago
Classic Bordeaux flavor profile, well structured, good value. — 5 months ago
Medium deep ruby , pink rim , quite intense , with coloured tears noticeable . Quite closed but deep dark fruited , serious but compact nose , with touch of dark chocolate , grafite , blackberry , dark plum, cherry . On the palate more dark fruits , blackberry , dark plum , cherry , quite rich with dark chocolate, grafite nuances . Balanced acidity with quite gritty tannins . Slightly mineral and saline tinged on the medium length finish , with just a slight warmth from the alcohol noticeable . Certainly ambitious for a Castillion Cotes de Bordeaux , though unsurprisingly makes no mention of this on the front label ! This shows quite young , will improve over another 5 - 7 years and last a further 5-10. — 4 months ago
3.4. Very good red Bordeaux blend. On sale for $24.99. — 4 months ago
Medium garnet , ruby core , medium wide garnet rim . Touch of wood spice at first then , dark plum and blackberry, grilled meat . On the palate good density of dark fruits, with a slightly gritty grafite , oyster shell note, spice and cocoa. Slightly dry tannin and balanced acidity . Finishes slightly short , a little chalky also . Overall well made but just misses the extra complexity and density of a better vintage . This is in its drinking window , now and over the next 5-8 years . — 5 months ago
