Côtes de Bourg - Red Wine
195941 (XD) 750 mL
$26 per btl $78 per 3-btl. lot
RP: 88-90
TASTING NOTE: This over-achieving sleeper of the vintage boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as plenty of black cherry, asphalt, and earth notes in its dense, packed and stacked personality. Lots of glycerin, heady alcohol, and a long, supple finish suggest it will drink nicely for 6-8 years. (Tasted once.) Score: 88-90 (RP)

JR: 17
TASTING NOTE: Very dark crimson. Thick and dense and super-juicy nose. Very sweet front palate but different from the usual souped-up right bank wines. Sweet but energetic too. Really lively berry flavours. Long and rich. Lovely wine and not over the top. Drink 2016-2028. Score: 17 (JR)
