Saturday, March 18, 2023 - Don’t be deceived by the Olympic medals; this is the lowest tier of Bordeaux, but such a deep region can still hold value in even a $15 (NYC) bottle like this. Freshly opened- nothing on the nose, and tannins a little stern. Three hours later, some fragrance but still seems not worth the price. But wait: paired with a lentil stew with Portuguese linguica. Suddenly the wine came to life and outshined it generic appellation. The smokiness of the sausage was especially enhanced by this wine. overall, not worth drinking if you’re not having it with something rich meaty and smoky. But then the tannins sparkle and the wine begins to shine.
