$10 at Costco. Ok but nothing special. Probably a good wine ro serve to guests who are not sure about Bordeaux wines. Really wants to be paired with food, think that Brie would bring out flavor.

88 vvPunkte Reife, dunkle Frucht, etwas Tee, schwarze Kirsche, ein Hauch Oliven, keine Holzdominanz, feine Kräuternote. Im Gaumen saftig und bereits zugänglich, knackige Frucht, lebhafte Säurestruktur, die Tannine sind von guter Qualität und im Abgang hallt der Wein angenehm lange nach. Nicht gross aber gut balanciert. Jetzt bis 2030+ (April 2021)

If your looking for a Bordeaux to serve your non-wine connoisseur guests this is one of those wines. Tasty enough for one who consumes Fine Bordeaux, not expensive nor waste of premium wine to serve those who are just casual wine drinkers. This chateaux-bottled “right bank” Bordeaux possesses a cherry/ chocolate aroma and medium-dark purple color. Medium-bodied, the flavor displays youthful primary fruit flavors and good concentration. Tannic, backward finish, though not rustic, In fact, its well made and rather refined. Good medium-length everyday Claret. However, it really needs approximately 3 years to round out. (decanted for 45 minutes.) Found this at Costco for $10. It is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Average age of vines 35 years.

Fine but a bit too dry and almost watery. Nothing special.
