Can't remember having this before, but I'm super impressed. Some pine needles. A tad hot but young. I really need to study France and Bordeaux wines more. The country has always taken a back seat to Italy and Spain for me, so maybe starting today things change?

Excellent Kosher Bordeaux. Elegant, smooth mouthfeel, and earth-and-leather-flavored Merlot. The finish is a little too acidic, but this is one of the best Kosher wines I have had. This is a review of the Kosher version.

Blueberry and spice with hints of chocolate. A chalky finish. Good value but overrated; there are better options out there.
