6 BUDGET WINES FROM BORDEAUX

Interesting wine...
Medium intensity nose of dried plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, forest fruit jam and clove.
Medium acidity, medium body with medium round but dry tannins, medium flavour intensity, medium(-) finish.
Acceptable structure but good balance.

Deep and dark red fruits galore, but you very much get what you see at first sight - a quality dry red Bordeaux - but not much more. Price/quality ratio is good.

Beautiful fantastic red wine ! I guess the year of harvesting was great ! Just keep it room temperature and you and your friends will appreciate this wine as much as we did !

Nice!
Medium+ intensity nose of plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, earthy notes, cedar, cinnamon and licorice.
Medium acidity, medium body with medium+ slightly harsh tannins, medium flavour intensity and medium(+) finish.

Good structure but slightly unbalanced!

Light and even, no splash, a bit of tannin, slightly non-Bordeaux (no hint of earth), drinks well, a trifle too acidic (perhaps slightly over the peak). A fairly pleasant, non-expensive terrace cafe wine.

I don't use words like, hint of licorice or vanilla, or summer fruits etc etc etc. A wine is either good or not so good, full bodied or thin, fruity or bland, with variations in between.
This wine is thin, lacks taste so not so good.

A very smooth and food-friendly Bordeaux. It has a good finish but also retains some life on the palate. A fine option if you have an inkling for claret with a touch of class.

An excellent Bordeaux for the price point. Bold, yet surprisingly smooth despite the acid. Notes of blackberry, tobacco and vanilla. Paired nicely with a steak, but very smooth drinking on its own. Friends thought it was a much more expensive wine!

Exotic fruits and citrus on the nose. This entry level Sauvignon is extremely well balanced. The acidity provides great freshness. Excellent quality price.

Nice and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with lots of usual citrusy and passiofruit aromas, a slightly bitter finish and better structure than I expected. The mouthfeel is more what you'd expect from a Loire SB (which in my book is a good thing).

Nice Sauvignon Blanc.
Medium+ intensity nose of citrus, pear, yellow apple, grass, white nectarine and hints of tropical fruits.
Medium (+) acidity, medium body, medium flavour intensity and medium finish.
Good structure and acceptable balance.
