Community Tasting Note

rikipedia Likes this wine:

Monday, May 5, 2014 - Terroir-istes International - France, Bordeaux, St. Estephe (Rodwell House): 85% CS, 13% Mer, 2% CF; Mid to deep red-black through to rim.
A classic bouquet of cedarwood, cigar, dust, freshly picked berries, and frozen black fruits with spicy oak elements - cinnamon and mace.
A streamlined entry with fresh, vibrant acid with a lemon edge balanced with a sticky ripe fruit of fresh blackcurrant, morello cherries and a cigar box with a damp clay-like texture. Full-bodied, this is a gusty wine with granular, firm, dense tannins that stick to the palate. Some depth here and quality wine. Excellent wine, I liked the linearity of the wine and the start of layers whilst keeping it streamlined and focussed. Improved immeasurably in the glass.
