best Bordeaux-styled value in the marketplace. A huge nose of melted
licorice infused with crème de cassis, vanilla, spice box, and hints
of chocolate as well as coffee, it is an extremely intense,
full-bodied, opulently-textured red with no hard edges. It is a
profound wine that should drink well for a decade." - The Wine Advocate
Chateau Loudenne $20.00
“…, the 2000 Loudenne epitomizes what makes Bordeaux from a great vintage so
special. A thrilling cedar and vanilla nose, set off by smoky notes,
leads to a textured interplay of cassis and black cherry fruit,
followed by a long finish. There are plenty of tannins for aging
from five to seven years if desired, but there is no need to wait
that long because the tannins are in harmony with the complex
fruit”. - The Washington Post
