Further proof that making wine expensive doesn't make it good. I (regrettably) assumed this wine was going to be really good because it was a) originally $12.99, b) from France, and c) aged since 2003. I hadn't had any French wines before, but I just figured it had to be good because French people drink so much wine which they wouldn't do if it didn't taste good. Also, because it was rather pricey before being on sale - I thought it would have a good chance of being good. I've never said that expensive wine shouldn't taste good, just that there must be some good cheap wines.
But, no. Nope. Didn't taste good. And to add insult to injury, there were dregs in the bottle. Take my advice and avoid this one - even though it looks like such a good deal.
