This 90% Merlot is grown directly adjacent to the Margaux property of the chateau but is entitled only to Bordeaux Superieur appellation. It’s really good and eminently drinkable. Loads of ripe, deep plummet fruit competes with cedar and rich, minerally earthy notes. In the mouth, it’s rich but not as ponderous as many ‘18s. For a weeknight-priced Bordeaux, wow!

Some might dislike the rather fruit forward style of this wine. I like it. I also like the darkly pitched fruit notes underlain with a lively sappiness. I think this will age well.

This fella is mighty tasty. Orange peel on the nose. Mouthful of ripe blueberries. Hints of.cinnamon, earthy. For $24 this is killer.
