Re: Purchased wine from Cru World Wine (BEWARE and need some help with terrible customer service)
Update: I've spoke to them a couple times today, I have not heard of a single admission of mistake yet. They gave me a call, and account manager actually seemed annoyed with me! Which includes trying to sell me more wines of lower caliber at least 3 times! Funny because they would earn commission ag...

Re: Purchased wine from Cru World Wine (BEWARE and need some help with terrible customer service)
Agreed. Think I will call the bank and ask for a chargeback to be safe. The company does seem quite big, with a couple warehouses across the globe, didn’t think they’d pull something like this. Ha, your last point really hit bullseye. I don’t care if it was a car, electronics, but wine?! Come on now..

Purchased wine from Cru World Wine (BEWARE and need some help with terrible customer service)
Basically, I bought a few cases in bond, 36 bottles in total. Then asked them if I could pay the taxes upfront, but only arrange for delivery in January 2023, and place them in the warehouse in the meantime, they agreed and asked me to wait for updates. After a few days of no updates, I contacted th...

Re: Cantemerle 2018 - How come critics dislike it? (Lower scored)
I was able to pick up 3 bottles for $39 each last month. It wasn't the greatest deal, but not too bad either, IMO. I remember reading some positive reviews here on BWE, and I thought it was a good enough deal and bought them. I haven't tried any, but I am looking forward to it. It sounds like a nic...

Re: Cantemerle 2018 - How come critics dislike it? (Lower scored)
Indeed, TD, I just think it is one of those understated wines that sort of gets lost in the crowd when you're tasting numerous other wines along with it. Kind of like how Lafite doesn't always perform best in big tastings with other wines. I've had this wine three times and I loved it each time. Un...

Re: Cantemerle 2018 - How come critics dislike it? (Lower scored)
The dreamed, You obviously forgot a famous wine critic like me! My take on Cantemerle 2018: 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. Quite a seductive nose of blackcurrants, exquisite and stylish. For me, it was a bit light on the palate and lacked some more depth ...

Re: Cantemerle 2018 - How come critics dislike it? (Lower scored)
Good question, the dreamed, and welcome. It is because of what it is NOT. It is not an overly alcoholic Parkerized fruit bomb. It is restrained and medium bodied, classy, not loud. The fact that it is not popular with the so called experts is a metaphor for all that is wrong with modern wine tastes...

Cantemerle 2018 - How come critics dislike it? (Lower scored)
Personally bought a case @ $26/btl to try out, pretty cheap I would say. Maybe "dislike" is a strong word, but surprised it isn't scored in high 80s or 90. Cellartracker seems to like it, another thread here also seems that the community like it (although different style) Common consensus ...
