Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 24, 2008 - The color of cranberry juice best describes this; bright but light enough to see through clearly. Nose of black olive, sandalwood, cranberries and raspberries, smoke and mineral. The lighter body of this wine also delivers a more vegetal character than some of the deeper, fuller Druets. It speaks and speaks well of its place. With tannins fully integrated and the fruit just barely starting to fall off, this is well ready to go. This wine and Druet’s Cent Boissellees are meant to be an early drinking Bourgueil. That 10 years is early drinking for Bourgueil gives you an idea of just how long lived Bourgueils can be. This is well made, but a fuller mouthfeel would provide me with more pleasure. A tad bit of sediment dropped out in the last pour. 12.5% alc. Short ribs (beef) ragu. Recommended.
