Shocked how well this value Bordeaux (bought this for $18!) has held up after a decade and a half. Big fruit and mouthfeel, held up magically against a marinated steak, and I continue to reach for my glass. Now the whole bottle is gone - who drank it? Me! All of it. Yay wine!

Great Brdx Superior! Red and black cherry and oak notes. Full bodied, plenty and bit chewy tannins, but chrisp acidy to balance it all. Excelent QPR!
