Château La Pirouette
Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Nose needed 10 minutes to open up. Violet aromas, probably due to the rather high percentage of Petit Verdot . 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40%Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. Good fruit concentration, balanced and with some complexity. Great value at less than 12 euros. Abv. 13,5%.

Excellent for under $10 at TJs. Earthy cherry and red berry with wood on the finish. Not too tannic. Let’s get some more.

Fruit forward… black cherry, cedar, and soft tannins.
Mature and ready to drink.
Enjoyed with sous vide lamb chops finished on the grill, roasted eggplant brushed with olive oil & fresh tomato & basil salad.
Perfect!

Very good for the price. Subtle flavors of wood spice, rock black fruits, and pencil lead. Structured and long.

Great value & flavours. Needs at least 30 minutes of breathing & maintain temp in the 58-60F…castle room temp.
First nosing icing sugar sweetness then on swirl strawberry blast. Taste is much different than nose. After time: Blackberry, Wet rocks, Cedar & on finish a flash of cinnamon with warm lengthy black pepper. Before breathing I experienced alot of French Oak this subsides with decanting. Smooth tannins.Didn’t get the “funk” others mentioned but my “cedar” maybe another person’s forest floor🙃🍷
