Red Bordeaux Blend

Expected purple-black without variance. Ripe plums and rich prunes dance the dance of dawn and dusk. Dried blackberry and red currant trace their steps. Clean waters flow and blueberry and elderberry emerge. Even bacon fat. This is plump Bordeaux. Graphite washes thinly, revealing black currant and lingonberry fleetingly before settling on dried lavender and dried mallow blossom and briny violet. True to the rue. Tart cherries peek through windows in the rain-slicked, cobbled alley. Cranberry skin. #Bordeaux #chateauFéretLambert #Grézillac #BordeauxRouge #FrenchWine #wine #redwine #bordeauxsupérieur #merlotblend

10/2020. A nice Bordeaux full of flavor and a full bodied wine.

With its first breath, this Bordeaux exhales as a sweaty armpit. The funk fades to grape skins and garden dirt with time. Despite its brash entry to the nostrils, it has a smooth and medium body. Low tannin, low acidity, deep purple. Pairing with food is a must.

Blackberry, fig, leather, medium acidity.

My gf and I tasted this next to a bottle of the 2014 vintage. Both have blackberry and plum fruit. With the 2015 the aroma is weaker but the taste is fresh, like a lot of perfectly ripe fruit. In the 2015, tannins and acidity are in the background. There’s a hint of ash and graphite, and it lacks the cocoa and fatty meat that’s beginning to appear in the 2014.

Kinda dry, light bodied, tannins, smooth and juicy

Drinks well, medium body.

Oak, berry, . Dry. Nice bouquet. Easy to drink.

A good blend is hard to find. Especially at a good price. If you can find this wine get it! No disappointments here.
