Château Marjosse
Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
2015 vintage. From Pierre Lurton's private estate in the Entre Deux Mers region. Mainly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Red fruit and spices with subtle oak and a hint of leather. Well-balanced, the 14,5 abv. alcohol kept in check by the fresh acidity and slightly rustic tannic structure. Spicy finish. Tastes like something in between Saint-Emilion and Pessac-Léognan. Terrific value too. Drinking well now but I believe it will improve with a few more years of bottle ageing.

Really like this wine. I’m no wine connoisseur, but it’s smooth and almost seems to have hints of cherry.

Ah, another bargain Bordeaux from Costco! A hidden gem, what it might lack in sheer power (it is cheap, after all), it makes up for in the classic Bordeaux smell.
