Wine Reviews

Really impressive showing for this Bordeaux.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, cigar box, graphite and slight earthiness.  Full bodied.  Light tannins.  Great balance.  On the palate, this is complex and deep.  Layers of cassis, tobacco and earthiness.  Long finish.  This is delicious and contemplative on its own but would also be great with a hearty meal such as Prime Rib or a Vegetable Tagine.  It still should have another ten to fifteen years left.  

Ruby in color with purple hues, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries, sour cherries, and slight cedar.  Medium bodied.  Light tannins.  On the palate, this has a nice complexity.  Flavors of cherries, spice, red raspberries and char.  Long finish.  This would be better with food.  It worked well with assorted cheeses, but of course, Époisses would be great.
