Tasting Notes for Chateau Le Galion Cotes de Bourg Merlot 2005

'Grand Vin De Bordeaux' blend 60% Merlot, 30% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Initial bottle whiffs of bread dough ala rising...always a promising start? Tastes: Sadly, an empty watery mouthfeel let down; in the glass faint cranberry, near non-descriptive fruit. Acrid tannin but filtered of most any note or distinguishing features. Unremarkable with barely there white spice at 3 second finish. The closest this came to oak was the tree out by the driveway? Cheap and flippant. Pretend. ~Not Grand De Nothing.
