Confidences de Prieuré-Lichine Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Good BDX, but somewhat uneventful considering the 15 vintage was so awesome.

Turned a bit modern (blueberry cake notes) and sweet towards the end of the bottle, but balanced and approachable.

No notes, family lunch with my parents and my brother's family. A bit of green on the nose with cassis and toast. Good acid drive and partly resolved tannins. Short finish with cassis and toast touches. We had it along with a 4 pounds ribeye steak on the grill. Good pairing.

Paired with grilled leg of lamb. Nice finish. Otherwise not much depth.

Leather. Dark currant. A bit grippy on the finish. Perfect for late in the evening line up.

2015 vintage. Nose not explosive but has the beginnings of a really pleasant aged Bordeaux bouquet-leather, dust, complimentary dark cherry. Light-medium body with waves of silky tannins on the finish. Expectedly leaner and much less body than the first label. Unimpressive and easily dismissed upon opening but started to show some class > 30 minutes. If you can open and let sit for a spell, a good introductory Bordeaux with pedigree for those uninitiated wine lovers since it lacks bombast and grip.

Deep ruby in color with a nose of blackberries, black cherries, graphite, and hints of leather. Nice, full body the taste confirms the nose. Low acidity. Very nice, lingering finish. This is a pleasing, old-world style wine.

A solid French red. Would buy again.

Wonderful as always.

Beautiful deep crimson color. The merlot comes out in front but with lots of depth. A very interesting bottle.
