2023 Bordeaux Superior by Amandine Berardengo

 Nice, classic Bordeaux courtesy of Intermarché. Obviously not château, grapes collected from different places. But good overall. Nose and taste of black currant, almost no sugar. A lot of tannines, which give it a bit harsh taste initially, but aerator removes harshness.

Was very good with salmon grilled on a cedar plank.

2020 Château Tertre de Boilon

 Wonderful. Classic Bordeaux. It's Blaye, should be on the lighter side, but no. Well-defined medium-bodied wine. Strong taste and nose of black currant, a bit spicy, very defined aftertaste.

Enjoyed it with fried veal.

2023 Les Barricailleurs

 A disappointment. Especially after exceptional 2022. Nothing special. Obvious Bordeaux, but there are better wines around.

2019 Château Briot

 Not drinkable. Not even good as cooking wine. Went straight to the drain. I have no idea how château in Appellation Contrôllée can release such thing to the market.
Will never buy again anything from this producer.

2024 Aimé Arnoux Grenache-Caladoc

 Total disaster. Undrinkable. I don't know if it's because the cork was cracked, although the crack didn't go all the way to the wine, or because the wine itself is bad. Don't care either way, will not buy again.

2024 Chateau le Bos

The second tasted bottle from Aldi's Christmas box. It's a bit simpler than two other bottles, still with black currant in the nose and taste. A bit of spice, no sugar.

Was very good with tuna, fried in everything mix.

 

2024 Château Tour des Murasses.

 This is the first tasted bottle from Aldi's Christmas box of Bordeaux. On a lighter side of Bordeaux, still with good mix of berries and fruits in the nose and taste. A bit of spice, no sugar.

Was very good with sous-vide tuna.
