I was the only one that guessed Bordeaux. Shows again that 45 was a big year for Bordeaux and of course historically. Very light and translucent in the glass. Has a rustic ness to it that is very attractive and the fruit has a sweetness that captures what this might have been when younger. Great finish. — 11 years ago
Smoky-gamey macerated wild strawberries with mint. On the palate, surprisingly light and fruity, riper berry concentration, medium acidity, and low tannins. DOC regulations require 85% Petit Rouge, the most widely planted grape in the region, but this is 100%. Medium licorice finish. Overall, this is a more rustic Gamay and quite pleasant.

This is a red that Sandy actually enjoyed! — 10 years ago
Rustic, fatty and old school. Pairs perfectly with a fatty ribeye.
