Bordeaux
Tasted Saturday, October 14, 2017 by chatters with 175 views
Last day in Bordeaux (I didn't count Sunday's journey home as no wine was involved) with a visit to Cite du Vin (after the U Boat pens) and then supper at the Intercontinental at Ramsey's 2 Michelin starred restaurants private room
Me and Michelle went to the simply superb U boat pens then scrambled over to meet the others at the Cite du Vin. Ticket price came with a free glass of grog so I got something a little unusual
Supper in the private dining room was a treat, after sad goodbyes to everyone, especially Letitia and Elodie, John and I went for a little glass of fizz...well, a bottle in fact.
Both of these events should have been superb but the Cite du Vin was a bit too busy and the supper was, from a food perspective, quite disappointing. Wine was stunning though in the latter case. And so bye bye Bordeaux...

Green notes, smoky backed by sweet red berries and cherries. There is also a slight candy floss element…It's similarly fruit forward on the palate with a touch of savoury, almost peppery, spice and fine, slightly drying, sandy tannins.
