Sensational! This was a rec from a Parisian wine store owner, who said he recently opened a bottle and was delighted. He did not disappoint. Obviously stored perfectly. Bursting with bright fruit (blueberry), and tastes of cassis and baking spices. With just enough of that Bordeaux-St Emilion earthiness to satisfy but please even the non-Bordeaux drinker — 9 years ago

@Bill Bender I can buy aged Bordeaux at several shops that are walking distance... who says I'm coming home?

Château Guadet-Plaisance

Montagne Saint-Émilion Merlot Cabernet Franc 2011

Bordeaux tannique qui a su évoluer avec talent, une valeur sûre. — 10 years ago

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Nice bouquet. Lots of sediment but classic St. Emilion. — 10 years ago

Château Rocher-Calon

Montagne-Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Inky violet red. Green pepper is less prominent and the body is juicier and fruitier than other cheap Bordeaux I've had. Oak age defines this: the tannins are big but silked out considerably, and the aroma and finish are decidedly that pruney oak deal. Part of me likes the sharp raw green pepper thing, but this is much more drinkable. This is a buy-again winner. — 9 years ago

Château Samion

Montagne St. Emilion Merlot Cabernet Franc 2010

Have to agree with the others here unbeleavable value classic cedar box low alcohol Bordeaux for very little money. Therefore high rating. — 10 years ago

Les Portes de Bordeaux

Chateau Tourbadon

Saint-Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Beautiful deep garnet color. Spice and cedar nose. Fruit of cherry and plum with a late touch of earth. B — 10 years ago

Château La Couspaude

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Much lighter than I had expected. Awesome aromas; garrigue, camphor, capsicum, tobacco, black tea, leather. The palate is complex, giving off different flavors with each sip. Bright cherry, mushrooms, dusty earth, briar berry, green pepper, charcoal. Finishes with smoke and a nice touch of white pepper. Beautifully complex. All the elegance of a fully mature St. Emilion. — 10 years ago
