Gérard Bertrand
Réserve Spéciale Cabernet Sauvignon
France
A simple Cabernet Sauvignon from France.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking.
Showing red and black fruits with light oak notes, vegetables, herbs and light spices.
Short finish with soft tannins and bitter herbs.
Feels like a South American Cabernet Sauvignon, maybe from Chile.
Not offensive, but doesn't offer much. A good party wine.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
86 points.

Dark ruby in color.
Nose of vanilla, smoke blackberries, cherries and bacon.
Medium to light bodied with Nice legs.
Sour and dry on the palate with cherries, cranberries, plums, black pepper, herbs and spices.
Long finish with full tannins.
Was too green for me. A few more years in the bottle will hopefully smooth the sourness out.

Good value wine that displays a good deep red hue and strong dark fruit aromas. Lots of fruit on the palette with subtle tannins that delivers a medium to full bodied wine with a satisfying overall rounded taste. Paired well with a 30-day matured fillet steak.

On board selection on Norwegian cruise around Baltic. A good predictable wine but not special

Got a bunch of these for free from work. Pretty much as good I thought it would be. Some earth and minerality to it, vague red and purple fruit. It's thin and pretty tonic. Not my fave.
