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.

Year: 2016

Good wine in a good-looking bottle. Feels classic. Great to bring one with you when you’re invited for lunch or dinner. Deep purple. Full-bodied and playful. Notes of ripe strawberry, dried prune, and tiny hints of vanilla.
It scores 80/100.
