Chateau De Ribebon 2020 Reserve

Purple hue with garnet rim and aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, a touch of cedar, woith ash and spce at the end.

Palate--Pronounced front palate with sateely front, relaxed tannins adequate fruit mid palate but short finish and nothing remarkable over all.

I had this wine about a a half a million years ago when I was cutting my teeth on all things wine. It was just "OK" then and it is just "OK" now.  I don't get the 90 point rating the Wine Enthusiast gave it but oh well.  I paid $15 for this marked down from $25.  $15 is a good price point and it well pair well with my charcoal grilled "short cut" steak.  So raise a glass at the lower price.
