Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Had this sitting in the cellar. Dark red with jammy fruit aromas, slight spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry & currant, some sweetness, with licorice notes. Smooth tannins good balance, lingering finish ending with mineral and spice notes. Worth the wait.

Exceeded my expectations for the appellation - the chalky soil is evident but this is a fruit driven wine. The 30% Cab Franc comes through loud and clear. Solid buy at $14.

A decent no frills Bordeaux. Medium tannins, underwhelmed fruit and fairly high alcohol (14.5)
