Collection Grande Réserve Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend

Drank 11/12/20. Paired with Red wine Braised short ribs. Ok, but not ideal due to tomato component in the sauce.

Another Costco Value Buy. WE Went 92 on this one.
Plums, earth, some herbaceausness and pepper on the nose. Palate of plums, black cherry, wood, and pepper corn. Tomato in the food will bring out more sour cherry notes. Dry medium plus finish.

3/21/7/3/4 +50 =88 pts.

Smoky black and red berries, pencil shavings, potting soil, and slightly bitter dark chocolate. Firm structure that needs food. Long dry finish. I very rarely drink Bordeaux but this was recommended and really delivered.

Dudes and dudetes 21 bucks. Great but. Really good.

Got on a good sale at Costco but way too jammy for my current tastes. Won't seek this out.

I enjoyed this very much.

All the red and blue berries with a hint of dirt and herbs. Pound it on the porch!!

Enjoyed this wine. Would buy again. This was a gift. Had it with Rib eye. Very good. Slightly spicy but good.

Has a strong blackberry after taste that is really nice and sweet

This 2016 red Bordeaux was part of a quite fairly priced Costco quartet, in a handsome little crate. Wine Enthusiast rated it 92 points. I’m afraid I disagree. Vin ordinaire. Drinkable but not memorable. I’ve thought for years that WE suffers grade inflation and this just reinforces my belief.

Had to let this open up to show more of the flavors and softer side of the wine. That being said, it was still medium in flavors and finish. Really saw the Merlot coming through.
