Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

It took 7 years but is has come around to become a nice summer red.

Classic lighter bodied left bank Bordeaux.

Lead pencil, black currants, spice and green pepper. Good acidity if a little green but in a good way.

Perfectly nice little cab. And pretty good bank for your Bordeaux-buck. Maybe lacks a little fruit intensity?...

Good fruit, graphite, leather, tannins quick to the tongue. The only problem was the cork broke into 3 pieces with the wine key, tried an ah-so to extract the third piece stuck in the neck but pushed through into the bottle. Ran it through a screen and consumed. Paired with a prime rib & spuds.

Will buy again. It was very drinkable for a $33 bottle! Highly recommend!

Strong oak taste...

Much better after breathing. Medium bodied and slightly acidic. Could do with a bit more depth.

I like it.

So yummy. I'll have this with anything or nothing at all. #winterwine
