Côtes De Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France
Nose: Powerful mix of dark fruits, clear oak flavors with a hint of vanilla.
Mouth: A strong attack with ripe fruit flavors and silky tannins. Notes of grilled hazelnut, black pepper and spices. A fine, elegant structure with power and a long finish. Pair this with a nice big steak.

2010. Really juicy and satisfying. Drinking well now but probably can last a bit longer too

Apr 22nd, 2018This wine was reviewed as being austere and tannic. There is definitely acidity to spare, but the tannins seemed pretty soft to me (this one was aerated and then spent 1+ hours in the decanter, so that might have done the trick).
Not as full-bodied as I was hoping, but brighter and fruitier than I expected after several years in the bottle. Lots of minerals on the nose and a bit of ash on the finish.
Held up to a grilled steak. Crisp acidity made it a good match for roasted tomatoes, too.
