Wine Advocate / Robert Parker (1-100) : Parker 87

General

Tasting Notes (recommended):Wine Advocate # 178 Aug 2008 Robert Parker. This remarkable bargain from broker Jeffrey Davies has a rare (for Bordeaux), screw-capped finish. Made from 100% Merlot, it is a Bordeaux fruit bomb offering plenty of chocolate in its Merlot character, soft tannins, medium body, and excellent purity. It is even available in a 3-liter bag in a box, which should provide serious relief for financially stressed wine consumers.
