Imported by Latitude Wines14% Alcohol
The 2022 Trader Joe’s Reserve Puisseguin Saint-Emilion Lot #274 opens with aromas of black cherry, lots of leather and a bit of a green vegetable note. It’s a decent start.
The wine needs some air when first tasting but offers similar flavors to the nose with good balance. It’s a bit austere without food but it’s worth the price, especially for Bordeaux lovers.
It ends dry and with good length and was slightly better on day 2.
