My current wine of choice is a 2003 Bordeaux from Baron Philippe de Rothschild called Mouton Cadet. It's available at my local supermarket for $6-8/bottle and has a fruity bouquet with a smooth finish. Any comments about this brand or any other Bordeaux worth tasting?
Favorite Bordeaux?

Mouton Cadet is 'starter wine' for those without experience in Bordeaux. There is frankly much better wine available for the same or slightly higher price. I tasted the current offering of MC when at a tasting of the 2000 vintage of Mouton Rothschild arranged by the chateau and was very disappointed, however it confirmed that I hadn't missed anything by not having tried the MC in several years.
BTW - using that name on this group won't get you and credit - quite the opposite....;-)
