Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Superb. Beautiful fruit and long finish

Drunk review 5: this tastes bushy. I know this, because I’ve been pushed into bushes. Blackberry, cardamon. Airy, woodsy aftertaste. Super enjoyable. Would pair this with pets for a Brittany dog, a English Setter, or a Norwegian Elk hound— a dog that enjoys navigating the woods.

Bramble, blackberry, cocoa, strong tannins, forest floor,

Easy to drink and smooth. Baking spices are the star here— cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom (slightly). Cranberry is second. I want to drink this on some rocky European coast in the fall— like small, cute rocks. Not a Californian craggy coast. And there is a cute town there, too. Pair this while petting a Saluki.

Quite a spicy Cos. This will likely not improve with more time but very nice now nonetheless #cos #bordeaux #stestephe

lots of life, beautifully aged

Not the most pristine bottle but still showing well. I guessed it was an early 80s!

Still very dense and concentrated. Lasting impression: incredibly focused, and culminating with a complex, powerful, long, evolving close.

Lacking a nose and any finish. No depth or complexity. Dull. Some slight bitterness

So elegant and gentlemanly! The opposite of the crass 2011 in the oversized, napa style bottle.
