February 17, 2016 - Casual Session (Chassagne & Bordeaux) (B&B Parkway): Tasted blind. Pop an poured. Drank over 2.5 hours.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of blackcurrant and other ripe dark fruits. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe blackcurrant, blackberries, graphite, lead, slight earth. Long finish.
Very good quality. A Bordeaux second wine that is performing to the standard of a first. Lots of ripe fruitiness here. On retrospect, the palate is on the rather plain and simple side. Good effort nonetheless. Drink and enjoy over next 2-3 years.
58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot.
