80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc & 5% Malbec. Very dark and still a bit tight, but the Cabernet Franc shines through nicely! 90-91 — 19 days ago

A pretty, pretty, pretty good wine. It’s a big bad red but smooth and beautiful. Hints of cherry and pepper at the finish. Smooth throughout. $34 — 5 months ago

Well, welcome to another weekend. I have opened the 2018 Château La Prade Francs Côte de Bordeaux from NicolasThienpont. This is a blend of 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, pencil lead, mocha, violets and minerality.

On the palate I am getting black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, licorice, spice, a good bit of minerality and underbrush.

This is a medium to full bodied wine with a smooth velvety mouthfeel medium to medium+ acidity and medium + woolly tannins that leads right into a long black fruit and cedar finish. Let's have an enjoyable weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 months ago

As per last bottle. Strawberry conserves. Lovely concentration. Attractive bitterness balanced against the sweeter notes. Fabulous. — 7 months ago

続いて赤、ボルドー右岸の激安、これも千円台。紀伊國屋リカーズ成功1780円。掘出し物との惹句にやられて購入。メルロー主体と思えぬほどパワフル、タンニンも強烈で凝縮燗も申し分なし。
これで酒質がこなれてくれば5千円くらいの価値は十分ありかと思います。
