I wanted to try this wine, not only because it was a decent price, but it was classified as a Bordeaux Superior. So if you see ‘Bordeaux Supérieur’ on a label, it does mean that the wine is a little more superior compared to a ‘normal’ Bordeaux wine. A little superior in the sense that the ‘Bordeaux Supérieur‘ wines are made under stricter appellation laws, setting it higher winemaking standards. My palate picked up earthy mineral flavors and some licorice. On the nose, this wine was totally lacking smell. Odd. Not possessing aromas, this wine was dryer on the tongue and finished dry. Personally, it was okay but not one of my favorites, even though the price point was great. I decided to keep it in the reviews in case anyone out there liked non-aromic dryer wines. Taste is so individualized, and for a price point under $10, why not try if this may describe other wines you have enjoyed.
