Côtes de Castillon Red Bordeaux Blend

The nose is quite intoxicating, & could pass as napa, the palate is dusty with a spicy jam on top

The very fruit forward cherry cola taste might not be for some but it does pair well with food. Very boozy nose.

Eucalyptus and black plum on the nose with cherry, raspberry, and grape stem on the palate. Tannins that need time to open.

On the chaulky side. A lot of dry tannins. Still a big wine.

Big body, tasting cherries plum minerals, earthy. A fruity nose. Some bite, low acid. Long lasting with chocolate/tobacco flavor.

I got it on the cheap, thought about aging for a couple years prior to opening. 4yrs old is good maybe a 6-10 yrs may be better.

Oh my f"n dog. This wine kicks ass!!! Juicy, gutsy, totes satisfying, but refined, not huge -- extremely well balanced, and... whatever Robert Parker said. Surprise: 80% merlot, just 20% cab. Can't imagine a better wine for the great grilled Dickson Market burgers we #served it with.
