Château de Pitray
Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes de Castillon, Bordeaux, France
Dusty but some nice fruit. Bordeaux is often a marriage of fruit with French's funkier qualities. The all out earth and spice of the more abrasive Rhones are more my style, but I often forget about Bordeaux...even great budget Bordeaux such as this.

Deep red with dark fruit aromas and spice. On the palate currants and sour cherry with woody and pepper notes. Harsh tannins not sure if time will help.

Mar 25th, 2017Decent Bourdeaux for the price - perhaps a bit on the acidic side, but overall a good food accompaniment. does not set the house on fire though.

Can’t complain, bought from Costco for a. Good price for that contained 4 other bottles of “Bordeaux” wines very consistent from the front of tongue to the throat. Nothing dominant , light spice and dark plum from the nose. Not too acidic. A wine that is easy to pop and pour. A fun wine to drink bottles Witt friends and see what the night turns into. I haven’t been drinking expensive wines recently and found That I very much enjoy a wine that is subtle, and nothin special. A good wine to me doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but has that character that you can taste which showcases the knowledge of the wine maker sticking to the fundamentals making a wine speak for it self from the vines to the earth. Really enjoyed this especially sipping it slowly outside as my 1 wedding anniversary is nov 5th. I am truly blessed and at this young age to be able to soak it all in and smile is priceless!
, cheers to all my delectable friend, a year ago I would not believe that I would go on a trip to meet a bunch of strangers and I have to say that was one of the best decisions I have made, for anyone thinking about meeting up I know it is intimidating but once you do you will never regret doing It.Everyone had that feeling at first but you will not believe just how accepting everyone is. It’s all about the wine even though we all think we are professional reviewers it’s all fun and to have a group with all like minded people it is incredible
Love you all Cheers and WNH for life !!

A good wine, quite unobstrusive and rounded, but not one that stays in your memory. decent but not excellent
