dlduchon Likes this wine: 88 points
December 9, 2022 - This wine came in a neat wood, four bottle Bordeaux display case from Costco. The effective price is $8 per bottle. The bottles, wooden case and labels have to be fifty percent of the cost? My bottle had a Wine Enthusiast tag that they gave it 92 points. That does note bode well for WE’s credibility. But if you consider the points and the QPR, maybe they are right. Think about the horrible CA wines at the grocery that cost $8 and taste like they were made by a chemist who prefers to drink Pepsi. This taste like a structured, albeit simple, French wine. There is no flaw, no overt fruitiness or fake oak. At this price point oak chips/staves probably would be out of the budget. If you like restraint, French, with a bit of crunch you should be able to choke it down.........
Oh, and this also has a gold medal from the concours de Bordeaux 20171,611 views
