Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 27, 2024 - Varietally labelling "Cabernet-Sauvignon" at Bordeaux is unusual (only the back label states AOP Bordeaux but in quite small print). I bought this out of curiosity after reading about "new style" Bordeaux and noting in the seller's literature a RVF rating of 15/20 (they use the 100 point scale in their monthly magazine and annual guide!). I don't get the high rating. It is medium bodied with lively quite savoury berry fruit, an earthy touch, decent acidity and an after-taste of tar which reminds me of some Cahors, although I doubt if there is any Malbec here. Agreeable drinking in a rather austere but invigorating mode. Quite good.
