An experiment of sorts. The ‘05 vintage was classic. Does that hold at the industrial level? Slightly hazy garnet red. Nose of plum and graphite echoed on the medium-light bodied palate. Medium acidity and light but discernible tannins that become a wee bit more assertive with air and after food. Medium short, graphitey finish. Held on to its fruit, didn’t fall apart with time, and added a bit of class to my fast-food burger. Can’t be mad at this.

Dec 19th, 2017Ryder cup edition Bordeaux from MC - quite good! Mature, smooth and well developed. Excellent pair with red meat or cheese or as a premium table red.
