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.

Holy smokes, this one is not even at peak and is quite off the charts depth of big bold flavors. The sediment in the bottle is already started and the cork shows great sign of aging, will go pick more up before it's gone! 35% cab franc shines!

Started out very musty. Then bingo! Opened up into a lovely rich mellow and full bodied sip. Delightful in every way. Hints of cherry and a light finish. No big tannins.
