Review: “The 2015 Bordeaux rouge shows a red garnet color with a slightly crimson tint. On the nose, the wine opens on black fruit aromas of bilberry and blackcurrant, then with airing develops notes of refined spice, especially cinnamon. From a full and firm attack, richly fruited and very smooth, the round and lush mid-palate reveals blackberry flavors and toasted notes, leading into a long and complex finish on expressive fruit.”

My review: This wine is very different from what I usually drink. It was very dry and fairly bold, tannic, and acidic. I tasted lots of dark fruits, like cherry and blackberry, and recognized some earthy flavors. It was also fairly spicy, picking up maybe on some black pepper. It is a lot of wine in one drink and I wouldn’t consider it easy sipping wine. Overall, I enjoyed trying something new and would have it again.
Food Pairing: I did not drink this with food.
