Château Godeau Ducarpe
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Fully yumtown. Total technical term. It is balanced as hell. The tannins belie the age tho I think in a few years this wine would merit “INTERESTING and also yummy” but right now it stops at yummy and I’m ok with that. Ripe berries: blue, black and rasp. Tannins that are not sooo aggressive yet could use a couple years. The alcohol and acid will stand. Realllllly enjoy this now—am picturing with a bread plate, nuts, dried fruit and a canapé mushroom...but in lieu of all that in youth I just say suck it down then worry about sustenance. All in all I’m into the Chateau Godeau Ducarpe.

About $10 at Costco - and would make you think about $50

Classic French Bordeaux, nice fruit to start with just the right amount of sweetness, with a peppery leather tannic finish. I can’t remember the price but others are reporting inexpensive.

Really tasty. Solid ripe red Cherry fruit forward, soft tannins and acidity. Very drinkable.
