Beautiful crystalline magenta hue with lovely aromas of sweet red berry, then more mature darker red fruit with plum and a hint of mocha and cinnamon.
Palate--Bold presentation with loads of minerality on the first impression, rigid acidity, ample plum and pie cherry underneath.
This is from the Castillon a sub region of Bordeaux and is really well made and should be holding for a number of years beyond In fact it will only improve for the next 3-5 years, If you have the discipline buy several and lay a couple down for the future and I believe you will be rewarded.
Pairing this tonight with strip steak grilled with charcoal. At $45 retail, found it on sale for $15 and it is a bargain so raise a glass.
