Hello Quijote.
I haven't tasted Chateau de Montval 2000, but I think I know a little about it. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's appellation is 'Bordeaux Superieure' (should be on label). It's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. No it is not "le plonk", and 10 dollars sounds pretty good to me, that's only just over 5 of our pounds. If memory serves me correctly it's won a couple of silver medals at pretty important wine fairs, but sorry, I can't remember which. When to drink it? If I were to be asked when that should be, as I haven't tasted it I can only hazard a guess - as it's of an excellent year, but as it's only a Bordeaux Superieure, I would say hold off for another 12 months. Don't expect it to be top quality or anything like, but I'm sure you will enjoy it when you open it. Perhaps someone at the store from which you bought it will have a better idea than I as to when best to pop its cork. Having said that, I wouldn't mind betting that another member has tasted it. So I suggest waiting for some more posts. T.
