Château Liversan
Haut-Médoc Cabernet Franc Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2016 vintage. Better and more concentrated than the 2015, but still has some rustic edges. Good value, if not very refined.

Oct 30th, 20252015 vintage. From the Antoine Moueix stable (also Patache d'Aux). A simple, light, fresh and very quaffable Merlot-dominated petit Bordeaux. The rustic finish can be compensated by some food. One would expect more complexity and concentration from a Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois in a very good year, but at 7,95 euro, there is no reason to complain. Ab. 13%.

Delicious with age? Oak, black berries, grippy tannins

Earthy, cinders, funky plum. A dark wine, but not necessarily heavy.

Pretty and light bodied, extremely so to the point of almost washed out. Dusty cherry, leather, earth flavors take some coaxing to reveal themselves. a nice enough glass after it builds some body with air

Color of purple mixed with ruby. On the rim the color fades away. Nose is quite marginal with leather, sugarplum, hot spice. Taste is blank in the beginning. After a few moments, flavors like chocolate, leather, subtle acidity and mild sweetness, dark cherry, and raisin show up. Still quite watery, but with powerful tannins. Aftertaste is a bit bittersweet, and sulfate. Nothing too exciting. I know the price is low, but I do expect more.

Proof that you can have a tasty French Bordeaux at a reasonable price ($13). Although it's not super complex, it's true to its "French style" in that it's more earthy than fruit forward, it's has a medium body with subtle, well integrated tannins, and it's lower in alcohol at 13%. This was very enjoyable, especially at this price point. Enjoy a bottle all to yourself, or confidently bring it to a casual dinner to share with friends. Good stuff!

Cherry, iron, black currant, burnt cinders, tannins. Really good value.
