Le Bilboquet Holiday Dinner (Atlanta, GA): Tasted at Somm Guild of ATL Holiday dinner @ Le Bilboquet. Paired with Steak and Frites. Color dark red. Nose is not your typical Napa Cab nose. Good mineralty on the palate. Drank alongside four other Napa cabs / Bordeaux blends. Somewhat austere at this stage. Brad - heavypourwine.com

It's nice but it's also unremarkable... Red fruit aplenty, from strawberries into red currant jam and pie flavors... but it didn't stand out nor did it blend exceptionally well with friendly food. Definitely had a head of steam on the first night - it was better on the night #3 with still some remnants of heat.

A pretty wine with a nice floral and red fruit nose but some secondary flavours too. Just a little simple and lightweight given the price in ££'s.

Solid if unspectacular blend.
