Jammy nose, light bodied, tannins a little harsh still but will look better after a year or two. Ok wine for the $10 Aus I paid. Great to see Bordeaux under screwcap, especially at this level where poor corks are usually rife. 2.75/5.

Colour: dark cherry Nose: blackcurrant, pomegranate. Charred oak, vanilla. Earthy. Palate: Blackcurrant, Cranberry, pomegranate. Charred oak and sweet spice. Earthy, medium bodied, 12,5% alcohol. Not spectacular, but good everyday red Bordeaux.

Four Cheap Côtes de Bordeaux: Deep ruby color. Lots of dusty earth and red flower aromas on top of tangy cherries and red currants. Tart acidity mixes with medium tannin on a medium-bodied frame. Red currant and bright red cherries blend with potting soil, tobacco and a bit of coffee. Refreshing, simple, the most accessible in its youth of the four wines. 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.
