Red Bordeaux Blend

Louis had this 6 years ago

Nice pick from Wsj. Little dry and sweet but enjoyable

Rich and fruity Bordeaux with a tart finish. Not the smoothest wine, but kind of what you expect with the Bordeaux.

2016 open November 2023. Meh. This wine has faded. A hint of tobacco on the nose. Nothing happening on the front. It has a Very faint Tannic structure with a lot of sour end notes.  This one goes down the drain.

Enjoyed this one. Was a WSJ wine so I never know what to expect. Quite dry but had hints of wood and vanilla. Cherry overtones all the way through. Enjoyed with stroganoff this evening and we did follow the directions and let it “breathe” for two hours before dinner. First sip was okay but had more depth with dinner. Not sure how much the food affected that. I would buy this again if I ever see it anywhere.

" it's intense and Frank color conveys greedy woody aromas with hints of pastry as well as red fruit notes. Its finish is vanilla flavored, thanks to its beautiful material coated with a plump roundness."

Definitely better than the ‘official’ rating

Very fruity with a medium body. I can really taste the plum notes. It’s dryer but not to much. Great to sip at the end of a long week!

Not complex but an easy drinkable vintage

Dry but worked well with ribeye and baked potatoes
