We polished off 3 bottles of this to cap off the night and for $20 why not.

A #grandcru wine at village price! #castillon #cotesdebordeaux ripe fruit packed with elevated acidity and soft chewy tannins with long finish. 🔥 🔥

Barely tannic.. Much lighter tasting than the 2018. It settled down on subsequent tastings.

Cheap but very passable. Plummy. Cedar and rock.

Eh, cheap fragrant Merlot taste. Not for me.

EDIT: I wish I had seen my earlier note and not bought it again! Same conclusion.

Meh…it’s fine but not great. Dull cherry and perfumed oak. Definitely not worth the money — tastes like any number of cheap anonymous wines half the price. 86.
