September 28, 2023 - Nice, but this bottle had a tiny bit of TCH. Still enjoyed.
September 18, 2023 - Decent wine - lots of tannins. Slightly harsh at first pour. Overall good value for the price.
October 15, 2022 - A blend of Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Malbec. Deep red garnet in color. Aromas while decanting of dark cherries and raspberries with touch of tobacco and leather. On the palate, acceptable red fruit flavor but slightly acidic. While not a bad wine, I had greater expectations …. Maybe a slightly tainted bottle.
September 7, 2022 - I opened 1/2 hour before tasting and it was about an 89 or 90 when I did taste. Within ten minutes, it wasn’t good and got worse. Do not air and take the air out with a sucker type device. Reidel Bordeaux/Cab glass.
April 6, 2022 - 14.5 ABV. Moderate tannins. I can imagine some strawberry but cloves and something vaguely like shoe polish was more prominent. It did soften up after about 30 minutes in the glass. I was hoping to enjoy this but didn't.
April 6, 2022 - A: deep ruby
N: med intensity, simple, earthy, flint, wet stone, bramble
P: med- intensity, clove, oak notes, watered down plum, gravel, wet stone. med+ acid, high alcohol, med+ tannin, med+ body, short finish.
Unbalanced with the acidity on the weak fruit notes, lacking any real body or backbone. Agree with most of the other reviews. Although it is cheap for $7, not really worth the effort of buying and drinking. 83- pt
April 1, 2022 - Meh. Wouldn’t buy. Not really anything appealing about drinking it.
February 2, 2022 - Purple colored and earthy mushroom nose. Taste has good acid and tannins have a dusty long finish. Other odd tastes that seem oak related but solid enough wine but for $22 I was hoping to get a better integrated wine.
December 21, 2021 - This went down smooth enough. Not a whole lot to it, but at the price point, nothing to complain about.
December 17, 2021 - Decent little bordeaux from Blaye. Very inexpensive and favorable to this reviewer over domestics at similar price points. Good hamburger wine.
