Drank 3/10/22

Bordeaux for less than $10, that boasts a 92 pt WE rating got my attention. I approached this with anticipation, but some skepticism.

I tried this in both a zalto and a less expensive Reidel glass. It was better in the Reidel glass a bit closer to mid 70 degrees, if you have a large stemware collection

On the nose plums and some blackberry are accompanied by peppercorn. Lighter, but pleasant. Flavors are similar, with plummy, blackberry notes, backed by earth, smoke, and bit of red fruit on the finish. Drinkable, but not 92 pts.

3/21/7/4/4 +50=89 pts.

Gross. Thick, smells bad, tastes worse. Want to return it to Costco.

Fantastic for $6.99! Is all the wood flavor real oak? I hope so

Nice blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoyed with a steak tonight.

If you love Bordeaux as I do you will agree that this a good example for the price, buy a lot if you find it.
