2022 Chateau Money Bordeaux Rouge - 86 PTS - JD

"Coming from the Entre deux Mers region, the 2022 Bordeaux Rouge is based 80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Petit Verdot. Ripe Bing cherries, tobacco, and some herbal notes all define this medium-bodied effort, and it's round, supple, and enjoyable on the palate. It should drink nicely for 3-5 years and is another wine that would make one heck of a great house red."
