Who said HIGHLY RATED EUROPEAN REDS have to be EXPENSIVE?
The following four WINNERS-1 Italian and 3 French reds are all rated 90/100 to 92/100 and are ALL in the $14-$17 price range! To make matters EVEN better, they are GREAT to drink now but will also cellar-if you choose-for another 6-8 years...Talk about a LOT of BANG for the BUCK!
Wine #1: 2010 BORGO SCOPETO CHIANTI CLASSIC$14.95/BTL. 92/100
Interested in A STEAL? 92/100 (Wine Spectator) AND ONLY $14.95!!! Good to drink and/or cellar. Only 22 cases avail.
Offers an interesting combination of currant, raspberry and roasted meat on the nose. Full-bodied, with chewy and velvety tannins and a spicy dried fruit long aftertaste. Mostly Sangiovese with a little cab. Drink now and for the next 10 years. Taste like a great $20-25 red, BEST BUY of ALL!
------------------------------
The following three French reds are SERIOUS/COMPLEX REDS (Grand Crus)DUBOEUF BEAUJOLAIS, ALL THREE GOOD TO DRINK NOW and for the NEXT 6-8 YEARS, not light wimpy fruity wines like the famous Beaujolais Nouveau. These 3 wines all taste like their much more expensive Pinot Noir brothers from the rest of the Burgundy region at a fraction of the cost. You will not get this kind of quality and style from France at this price.
“2011 will be a great millésime (vintage) in Beaujolais - complex, serious, solid and rich in delicious flavors. There is something divine about it. It is like nature has granted, under the sunshine of April, June and August, a dazzling body,” proclaimed Duboeuf.
