Château Castera
Cru Bourgeois Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Garnet, Medium weight with straightforward black cherry, leather, cigar box, cassis and stone. Well aged. 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. It lacks depth but has some charm. It's from a great vintage but Drink now - it won't get better with more age.

Sep 4th, 2019This is a pleasant Bordeaux from the disappointing 2013 vintage , the wine is medium bodied with pleasant acidity and classic aromas of : oak blackberry ,earthy notes, dark fruit, blackcurrant, red fruit, cedar smoke, and a mild finish. My score 86, drink to 2021

Sep 25th, 2022Bright and tasty, but not a ton of depth. The smell reminded me of soap, which was off-putting

Oct 22nd, 2021Really enjoyed this Bordeaux. Good structure on the pallet with a neat finish plus some nice age on it.
