Nice under $20 Bordeaux from a great vintage. Still drinking very young, with ample tannin. I'd hold a few more years.

An Exel Wines house favourite for a long time. the 2004 Arnauton Grand Sol in drinking great now and is wonderfully rich once it has been decanted. No wonder it got 2 gold medals.

Soft and supple with powdery tannins that don't distract from the plum and light blueberry. Very pleasant!

This isn’t a first growth pomerol but it’s AWESOME for $18. Loved it for a weeknight. Order again!

Juicy black fruit, firm tannins, iron and red twizzler nose, perfect with ribeyes. Always been a bargain of a wine

Pretty nice budget Right Bank Bordeaux. Very nice cherry, vanilla and oak graphite aromas. Black cherry and tobacco flavors. Powerfully elegant but with some tannin. Pretty good.

3.1 OK Bordeaux, but a bit flat at first, and with a lingering flavor that was a little strange. On sale for $15.19, regularly $18.99, but even on sale not strongly recommended.
