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.
