"This is very good value – a nicely balanced, ripe and decently structured Bordeaux for under $20. It is a second label from the grand (and also large) Château Magnol, a showpiece property and hospitality centre just north of Bordeaux’s city limits."

B&G Chateau Magnol 2011
87 points/ Very Good, Strong Recommendation.
Tasting notes: Cherry, violets and mineral soil balance delicately on the nose. Smooth and dark berried fruit is silken in texture with undernotes of minerals and moss. Elegant with well-balanced acidity and ripe tannins, this wine is easy to enjoy.

Complex characteristic Bordeaux nose shows black currant, earthy plum, green herb and a pinch of clove. Lightly sweet ripe black currant-led fruit flavours are supported by well-structured tannins and balanced acidity but with somewhat atypical spicy chocolate notes [...].★ ★ ★
