Note: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Coup de Coeur
“This 2010 offers intense toasty and vanilla notes that nonetheless respect the fruit (blackcurrant, red currant jam), with hints of eucalyptus and sweet spices. This balance is reflected in a full-bodied, dense, very round, and silky palate, supported by tannins that are already well-integrated. ‘A wine with feminine charm,’ sums up one taster.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Review by Mr. CLAUDE D. Posted on May 10, 2013

I wonder how a wine like this—which struck me as too strong (the taste of alcohol overpowers everything else)—could earn two stars in the Guide Hachette. The only thing going for it is the price.

Meh. Nothing special—I should've been suspicious of the name "Cuvée Prestige" ;-) You can get the same thing by grabbing the first bottle of Bordeaux you see at the supermarket...

My first order from this site arrived right on time. I haven't tasted the wine yet. I placed my second order yesterday, and judging by today's specials, my third order won't be long in coming... I can't wait to taste these wines so I can form a final opinion!
