That's really not bad at all.

Apparently I've had this one other time, but I don't remember the poop smell. Maybe it's not the wine! 😳
Opened this last night and the merde was strong. Tonight, the nose is very pleasant on this cheapo Bordeaux. Tastes like dark berries, herbs, a little mint and sage. It's good considering the price!

This checks all the boxes, considering the price. The faintest bit of rubber tires under the cherry nose. Cherries, tobacco leaf, orange peel bitterness. Under some oak influence, but not off putting.
Listening to Paganini. French wine with an Italian composer 🤔 nice pairing, though.

This is a left bank, Bordeaux with a darker appearance and cherry aroma. Herb and mineral driven undertones, maybe licorice, and structured tannins. A Grand Vin de Bordeaux that was really enjoyable. (🎥 Don’t Worry Darling)

Cherry on the nose. Very smooth on the palette at the beginning but grows slightly more robust with the finish. Never overwhelming or underwhelming. I really enjoyed this bottle. #bordeaux

I think for price is decent quaffer, 13 bucks. Hint of tobacco with herbal undertones. / tasting again, overly fruity
