Cru Bourgeois St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and an array of spices. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with spice, tobacco and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit, spice and earthy character.

This one was produced to please the new world audience. Generous oak and dark fruit alongside med acidity. The tannic structure was a little off, very hard.

Good black fruits, nicely oaked with a touch of spice and just-right acidity. But disappointing follow through with barely-there tannins.

16/20 (90/100)

This is from the Mahler besse fully of wines

Not terrible

Light on the nose and the initial taste followed by a combination of spicy cab and merlot. Light finish.

An excellent red wine, alone or with a meal.

Solid cab
