Excellent. Notes of tobacco, wood, berries, and tiny hints of cayenne. Firm tannins. Fitting adjectives would be: seductive, dark, wintry, lustful, and profound.
I give it 90/100.

Interesting blend. Full-bodied. I’ve had it before. I think it was earlier this year. My wife and I had invited couples over for wine night, and Coteaux 2018 was one of the wines that we enjoyed that night.
I’d give it 72/100.

I like the color — dark, violet-red, murderous. Notes of wood, loquat, and strawberries.
I’ve had a few bottles of this wine before, and I wouldn’t mind having more of it. It’s good stuff.
I like to pair it with a medium-bodied cigar to enhance the experience.
I’d give it 79/100.
