Default Question: Crowd pleasing Bordeaux?

While I tend to enjoy many of the Bordeaux I've had to date, other than my
wife, none of the other family members have any appreciation for it
whatsoever. For the majority, sangria and fortified fruit wines seem to
please them more. But there are a handful that do enjoy dry wines (and even
a smaller number that enjoy dry reds). They will often bring a "popular" cab
or a merlot, which I enjoy, but wonder why none of them enjoy Bordeaux (for
me, it's not exactly something you need to build up a taste for, in fact, it
is the varietal/blend that first opened up the world of reds to my own
enjoyment).

So I wonder if there is such a thing as a Bordeaux crowd pleaser? Or maybe
the ones I tried on them to date were just a poor selection. These are what
I've tried on them so far...

1989 Cordeillan-Bages: awesome and cheap, but hard to find

1998 La Pointe: an easy drinking wine, soft tannins; I thought this would
do the trick

1995 Trotanoy: my personal favorite to date; what am I missing?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. tia
