Maison Castel
Bordeaux Merlot
Bordeaux, France
Next up in my #BastilleDay prep (you’ve got to practise these things right?!) is this Maison Castel 2016 Bordeaux.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I received this #sample from the team at Kollaras who distribute a number of French 🇫🇷 wines in Australia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a deep purple red colour in the glass. Notes of rich black fruits, spice and tobacco entice the nostrils. While in the mouth it’s smooth, fruity and easy drinking. Give me a glass of this, some hard cheese and oh la la I’m a happy lady 🍷🧀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine

Air France economy. Meh. But better than the wines of Delta economy class.

Another AirFrance offerings, a round and palatable Merlot without noticeable traces of alcohol, a decent companion to the airline meal.
