2014 Château de Riberon


Every year Costco sells a set of four Bourdeaux bottles in a box. Usually pretty good wine, and something you usually never see in US. This is the first bottle from 2018 box.
Disappointing. I expect from Bordeaux nose and taste of black currant, raspberry, some tannins in taste. Nothing here. Just taste of generic red wine and strong aftertaste of brandy. Well, if I want brandy I would drink one.
Would not buy this wine again.

2014 Château Haut Sociondo



This is a second bottle from this year Costco box. Nice Bordeaux. No sugar at all, some tannins, a lot of black currant in nose, some in taste. A little bit harsh aftertaste, but disappears with time in a glass.
Went pretty good with chicken BBQ pizza.

2014 Château Gayon



Good Bordeaux. Strong, zesty. Nose and taste of sour cherry, black currant, smoke. Went great with smoked pork chops. Would be pretty good for BBQ.
