Cru Bourgeois Sustainable Vineyard Red Bordeaux Blend

Sunday Funday with my Brit’s

Blackberry, tar. Medium bodied, low tannin. Balanced finish.

Larose-Trintaudon 2009

Fantastic Bordeaux, great up till the finish and then kind of stops.

Powerful and good balance. Popular with my tasters.

Deep ruby. Red cherry, currant, black cherry. Earthy, tobacco, mushroom, and floral. M- acid, m+ tannin and finish. Black fruit on the palate.

Tonight I am enjoying this 2009 Chateau Larose-Trintaudon Haut-Medoc. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. On the nose I am getting blackberry, black cherry, black currant, licorice, and nice earthy components. On the palate is nice black cherries, black currant, violets, clove, graphite, and hints of tobacco. Medium+ acidity that sings on the tip of my tongue, smooth medium+ tannin with a long enjoyable finish. I purchased this wine for $21.99 a great QPR for this Left Bank Bordeaux.

Prepping for our Bordeaux trip next Spring. Someone has to do it! Old world. Nice length. Olive. Rich currant. Just starting to open up...

Too young, tannins dominate. Maybe in another 5 years

This is more like it. Balanced.
