Splurged for a 2014 vintage Bordeaux grand cru! This red blend (80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) was strong for my taste but very flavorful. Would be great with red meat. Cherry notes, but more earthy and smokey than fruity.

Fresh & dark ruby red color with very very nice aromas of cherry, flower bouquet, and barbecue smoke on the nose. Full-bodied followed by decent flavors of fresh bing cherry and roasted almond on the palate. Good texture, good balance, smooth tannins, medium length, but a bit dull fruity taste. Good wine but feeling a bit expensive for the quality. Need aging for a few more years.
