Classical Right Bank of Bordeaux blend of Merlot 60%, Cab Franc 35%, Malbec 3%, Cab Sauv. 2%, this particular V.2020 delivers an incredible array of soft ripen cherry aromas, decent structure, not so highly complex, but it has few layers of mulberry compote, dark cherry and açai berry, balanced acidity, nice hint of oak in the mid-range.
The most remarkable aspect was the soft tannins and its smoothness is so inviting that its finish provided a subtle savory taste at the back end of the palate. Awesome!
This wine will give the full round for the money, accessible price point that outperforms seamlessly, a crowd pleaser!

2020 vintage. Investigating +-$20 red Bordeaux, part two. PNP. Some decent depth for the price. Medium body. Good concentration. A little, minty note amongst the chunk. Finish hangs in there for a spell. In this price range, would tap this again. 5.28.24.

A right bank with some bottle age from a great vintage for only $19.99! Was skeptical but it turns out to be quite enjoyable.
Ripe black fruits with warm spices. Quite lush for a right bank and lacking a bit of finesse. Smooth tannins. Delicious and easy drinking.

Nose: stone, currant, jelly, mint, sweet herbs. A bit of merlot grapiness.
Taste: fruity (grape jelly), a bit of tannin, a little one dimensional. It’s good, but no way worth the $20 - tastes like affordable American merlot, not a good St. Emilion. 88.

Nice body, smooth, balanced. Some fruit with good earthiness. Can’t beat the price for this wine that only gets better with age.
