Bordeaux, France
A Trader Joe’s special. Around $10 if I remember correctly. Waterlogged nose. Fairly fleshy mouthfeel. Decently lingering and soft finish. A decent cheap chicken.

Not like any Bordeaux I’ve had but that’s not saying much. More sharp and acidic, not what I was expecting.

Color of purple with slightly gray and blue tone on the rim. Nice legs. Nose of good aldehyde, dried strawberry, prune, dark cherry, ripe grapes, and leather. Taste is smooth, with addition of soft tannins, suckling acidity, a bit minty, a tiny bit sweet, some spice, dark fruits, and zest. Aftertaste is medium long, a revisit of the taste, and quite tasty. Good one.

Dark cherries, earth, a bit of tannin, all nicely integrated together with no off flavors. Light-medium weight. $11 at Trader Joe’s…I might get it again.
