Felt like a Bordeaux tonight and I just recently picked this 1999 Chateau Hortevie for $22.99. On the nose I am getting bark fruit, black cherries, stewed prunes, black currant and lots of earthy notes. On the palate I am getting black cherries and a vegetal thing happening. There is a smooth mouth feel but not very complex. There is a medium body and medium acidity. Though not complex it is very tasty.
