Bordeaux, France
Violet, heather, stone, cooked meat, cassis. Less fruit than I like, but good stuff and a great deal. Quite a bit different than the last bottle. 91.

Yummy and chewy. This wine is very bright and approachable. Cherry, blueberry, cranberry, violets, and vanilla lead to a soft, Jolly Rancher finish with shy tannins. This is a real treat today, especially after drinking my sister's Tableau.

Pop and pour through an aerator …
NOSE: distinct cherry … chocolate covered cherries….and nuts.
TASTE: middle-weight bordeaux without any overt flaws. Dry leaves and cherries, bitter chocolate and baking spices. Nuts - almonds, walnuts, etc. Great for the $13 I paid. 90.

A great slow giant French red to relax too - a perfect Sunday evening red with a nice meal or some blue cheese to wind down a weekend. Hearty, a muted but still noticeable bouquet of that Bordeaux terroir on the nose and a nice blend on the palette. Needs to breath a bit before fully enjoying - decanting also a good idea here. Smooth with the traditional tobacco/dark chocolate notes on finish.
