Côtes de Bourg Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

Initially quite closed, but opened up considerably the second day. Biodynamic Bordeaux for <$20? Yes please.

Medium staining and tears, very dark purple... aromas black cherry black berry hints of vanilla notes of cedar and oak bit of funk.. Minimal tannin some green other notes come thru...

Charming little joint from da Bourg.

Dark fruit, medium body, good balance.

Austere

Strong contender for my humble "house claret" (sorry, reading too much Harry Waugh). Organic/biodynamic too.

$16.99-I'll take it all thanks!!

Tart cranberry and blackberry jam with dusty minerality, good acid, and short puckering finish. Aromas of red and black fruits, mushroom, and tar. No hint of oak anywhere,....fresh and vibrant. Would go nice with lightly seasoned beef dishes.

Charming cotes de bourg. Real grip. Lean and good With food. Needs 1/2 hr to open.

$19 @ Domestique.
