Sipping Fine Wine
Estate dates back to Crusades & Scottish navigator, George Smith, owner in the 18th century. Followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel & Florence Cathiard now own estate. Blend of 60% Cab Sauv & 40% Merlot, dark berry aromas, herbs and earthy spice. Palate is complex with cherry & currant flavors, pepper, tobacco & cacao notes. Soft tannins, rich and full, lingering, earthy, mineral ending, needs a bit of time.

Maybe just needs more time. Lacked Cabernet character. $50.

It's powerful dark. Dark fruit: a blackberry, a blueberry. "Dark" notes of a leather, a tobacco. Rich and deep. But great with a "blue" (lavender) cheese and gordal olives (Spanish). A French wine, an Italian cheese and Spanish olives. What could go wrong? ;)

Nariz: Mora, arándano, cassis. Aromas primarios y algo cerrado todavía. Boca: Tanino M+, Acidez M/M+, Alcohol M+. Necesita aire. Mas tiempo en botella también.

Sulphuric nose. Minerally. Well rounded flavor. Nice fruity finish. Medium tannin, high acid. Decant if we get again. $37
