Welcome to the weekend! This was a short week bit didn't feel any quicker. Today I picked up the 2010 Château Côte de Baleau Saint-Èmilion to continue my Bordeaux fixation. The blend for this Right Bank wine is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose is dark cherry, black plum, blackberry, fig, strawberry, herbs, tar, violet and crushed gravel.
On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, green bell pepper, graphite, menthol, licorice and earth.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity and medium to + smooth tannins that leads to a long nice round finish. Have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Does not suck. 2010 doesn't mess around. Also this is of sentimental value: We got this for Gustav Meier when he gave the Schleicher studio a masterclass.
