Light, tight, austere. 2+ hour decant. Paired with Calabrian roast beef. $15 from Trader Joe's. Ive had equally good Bordeaux Superieur for $10.

Terrible. Just terrible. That's exactly why I hate french wines. Unless you spend $100 on a bottle, don't even bother. Red, acidic water. Save your palate and stomach for somethink drinkable. Yuck! I don't understand ppl rating it 8.6.?!?! Come on! Really??!!

Not an encouraging sign when you can smell the acid from the glass. Sour cherry dominates initially, with forest floor and a hint of tobacco hitting mid-palate. Medium-bodied. The acid quickly overtakes the flavor profile, leaving a thin, astringent finish in its wake. This begs for food, but am not convinced it will help much. Even for $15, am not impressed and there are better values to be had.
