Château de la Huste
Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend
Classic Fronsac nose and palate of dark red fruit and graphite with good grippy tannins, if a wee bit overboard with the new oak for my tastes. Still, an excellent value at 10 bucks a half bottle and perfect for the train.

1 person found it helpfulMar 3rd, 2019Buy this up. It doesn't get better for $20. Incredible value, and will see another 10 years at least, and in the world of 2015 Bordeaux so far, none are cheap. Black plum skin, black cherries, graphite, chalky mineral, tobacco, black licorice, bell pepper, mocha; tannins finely integrated, and focused in the wine, with medium body and already showing promise.

May 11th, 2015Seriously Total Wine, how dare you gouge people on this wine! If you think Merlot doesn't have "umph," you NEED this wine! Oh yeah, I sell it for $16.99, not $25.
