Wine: 2003 Chateau Les Grands Marechaux Bordeaux



Review: Two things stand out about this wine: It has an incredible aroma and a great price. If you can get your hands on this wine, and you love Bordeaux it is a great choice. It is not your typical Bordeaux, it has a style similar to California Pinot Noirs, in that it has strong aromas and a full-bodied taste.

However, unlike a Pinot Noir, it has a complexity that has developed quickly and hopefully will continue to grow as the wine ages. It also boasts a strong finish with heavy tannins. I bought a couple of extra bottles to age -- at this price there is no reason not to do so.

Price: $19

Grade: 95
