Château Bel Air
Lussac-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
Lussac-St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Fabulous juicy lussac. Blackcurrant, raspberry, and black licorice on the nose with a juicy body, but retaining structure. Touch of dirt and must, but mostly pleasurable hedonism. Very nice and drinkable even after only 30 minutes decanting. Great for $20.

Really nice St. Emilion satellite wine. After 30 min the palate is ripe with red and black fruit and vegetation. The tannic bite on the back end is soft and smooth. Great QPR

Out of a split: deep dark ruby/garnet & very reticent nose. Had to leave this for several hours, finally revealed lovely elegant nose of black & blue fruit. Fairly one dimensional aromatics, really suave on palate, tannic grip with blackberry compote & stewed plums. Finish was not polished but this is probably due to its youth. Believe this has a lot more time & represents great QPR.
