Dusty but some nice fruit. Bordeaux is often a marriage of fruit with French's funkier qualities. The all out earth and spice of the more abrasive Rhones are more my style, but I often forget about Bordeaux...even great budget Bordeaux such as this.

Good for pre-dinner sipping as well as with a meal.

Very light and fruity. What a nice surprise! The 6 years we waited to drink it didn't affect the wine. Good job!
