Bordeaux, France
Today I am tasting the 2005 Chateau de Reignac Bordeaux Superior Red Blend. This was given to me by a very good friend for Memorial Day.
The color is a beautiful deep garnet. On the nose are dark fruits, fig, black plum, blackberry, black currant, raisins, bakers chocolate and licorice.
The dark fruit continues on through to the palate. Ripe black plum, blackberry, black currant, black cherry, clove, licorice and it is very earthy.
This right bank Bordeaux is full bodied with medium acidity and there is a mouth full of sandy, sweet medium + tannins.
This is a nice blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Given that this is a 2005 vintage makes for a very enjoyable Bordeaux Blend.
Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷
