Château Duplessis
Moulis en Médoc Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Moulis en Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Simple, correct, classic Bordeaux without being astringent or overripe. Slightly lacking in complexity at this youthful stage but has enough tannins and acidity to age for 5-8 years. Hope it improves.

Dark purple with aromas of red and black fruit and spicy notes. Palate displays sour fruit, unripe cherries, harsh tannins that cooled off after a while. Finish is medium combined with alcohol burn. Tried again, still disappointed. No long term aging potential. Drink Now.

Mar 10th, 2017Dark purple color. Aromas of red fruit and spice. Palate displays sour fruit, unripe cherries, somewhat tannic and harsh at first but calmed down by the end of the bottle. Finish is medium combined with burning alcohol. No long term aging potential. Drink Now!

Feb 27th, 2016Trying against 2012. This has more Cab Franc and no Petite Verdot. Much brighter on the mouth. Was Smokey at first but opened up to more acidity.

Beautiful blend, nice fruit with a smooth dry finish. Love Bordeaux.

Oct 31st, 2016The nose is great but this wine is thin and acidic . There's not much fruit and it falls off the back of your pallette. As it opens it becomes very astringent as well

Total wine. Great to set up without a meal.

Light crisp tannins and slightly tart fruit at first impression, but then it's gone. Very short finish, mostly tasteless. 2012.
