"Un nez de belle complexité, qui demande une belle oxygénation pour s'ouvrir. Notes de balsamique, d'eucalyptus, de cuir, d'épices douces, de griottes très mures.
Belle bouche dense, riche, structurée, savoureuse, avec un milieu de bouche de corp bien extrait et tanins denses, fins, compacts et de belle astringence.
Belle finale persistante, très expressive et savoureuse."

Nevertheless, this wine is a deal and an easy one to pair with meaty pizza or burgers. $12. HHHH
Not just for investors and collectors, Bordeaux can be for every day.
