Bordeaux wines typically have an irony to them in that they are simple yet complex. Their body normally develops as you work your way through the bottle. Not in the case for this wine. Although this wine has a true French signature, I did not find it exemplary to what I expect from a good Bordeaux.
Priced at over $10 I would not purchase again. There was nothing about this wine that makes me want to buy it again, but if served to me at someone’s home or a restaurant I would drink it. I will not be classifying it as a house wine because I would not by a case of it for any reason.
It was difficult to find this particular vintage online but I did find an ‘02 label which is identical accept the year. In my search for this online I did find some interesting comments from others who have had it. I would not discredit the wine with the harshness you will see, but it was disappointing.
