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!

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.

Des épices au nez, ce qui m'a fait penser à de la Syrah. En bouche, les tanins et les arômes de fruits rouges font davantage penser à un Merlot. Ce vin léger est agréable.
