Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Blend

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. 🔥 🔥

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.

Red Blend / 2016 / Park Slope W&L + Tannic Tobacco

10/22/22: Binnys $15
Barely tannic.. Much lighter tasting than the 2018. It settled down on subsequent tastings.

10/22/22 - Binnys $15
thin legs , deep garnet
Not a lot of fruit. D-leather & tobacco leaves
Very tannic
T: medium ripe plum

3.4. Wonderful initial taste and smell, but a little flat later on. Sold for $25.99.

I really enjoyed this, even on Day 2. My husband said, "Too earthy," but maybe that's what I liked best.

Excellent.
