The last bottle of this wine that I opened was past it, quite dull. This bottle however we perfectly palate. An easy drinking wine. I have one bottle left...

cheeky cheap and cheerful fruit driven Bordeaux. I'm guessing mostly Merlot from this tasting; quite plummy. Lightweight texturally but juicy and fleshy. Very much a lunchtime claret...

My experiment has apparently failed, the wine has not aged well. The nose is good but the palate is horrid. Displeasing on the front and sour on the back. Three sips over two nights and it went down the drain.

This was an experiment to see how $13 Bordeaux aged. Bought on release and stored in my cellar. Popped and poured. Very dark garnet. Heavy legs. Nose: cherry and that is all I get. Palate: muted fruit, more muted than I remember on release. A little bitter on the finish but good with food.
For $13 I would say it is a good daily drinker and could last a little longer. I have one more bottle and I am not sure if I will hold it longer or drink it in the next month or so. It is definetely better within a year or three but not bad overall for the price.
