Picked up a bottle of this at Costco today on impulse.

Thoughts?

Also....looks like you can see what is in stock at your local Costco warehouse.

Should be excellent. 2020 is a classic vintage. Price?

[wtg]

$19.99, a splurge for us.

Gets great reviews. Not sure why I didn’t get the reverse mailing. I’m subscribed.

I don't know if Reverse Wine Snob guy reviewed this wine; we just stumbled upon it when we were in the store. I went to look at his Costco picks and got distracted by the warehouse inventory being available. I never went back to check whether he had a review.

I'm getting the impression from a couple of reviews that it's something that might do well to be set aside for future drinking.

Of course at our age, we don't want to wait too long. You never know how long you'll be around...

Get some for now and later. At $20 it probably isn’t built to go more than 5 years or so.

Our Costcos in NY and NJ don’t sell wine. Must be state rules. Too bad!

[Mik]

My warehouses don’t have it. Dang.

Sounds like a winner.

If you like good inexpensive Bordeaux, see if you can find Chateau Bellechasse 2020 or 2022. $10 here and while you’ll never mistake if for a higher cru it’s a very solid wine that has real Bordeaux character.

I do like a good Saint-Émilion (probably as a result of initially drinking some in France in the company of some Frenchmen. Too bad that Pennsylvania liquor laws keep alcohol off the shelves of Costco here.
