This right-bank Bordeaux is amazing and even comes with some age on it. With a blend of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc you are getting a pretty full-bodied red at a fraction of the price. This wine is old world all the way. The vines are an average of 25 years old sitting on clay-limestone soil. I know that does not mean much to the rest of the world but to a wine nerd like myself it means..YUM! Oh and get this..grapes are harvested by hand.
This is truly one of finds that I'm glad I picked up. Great old-world style on the nose with tons of dark fruit and earth notes. On the palate this wine shows great structure and balance. More of the dark fruit and great acidity. The wine is already throwing off sediment and shows this on the inside of the shoulder when decanted and poured. The finish is smooth yet medium to full-bodied. All this for only $14
