A bottle in the alpes 3 bears restraunt- some mushroom and Earth on the nose initially but fell away quickly and perhaps some taint. Give the benefit of the doubt in view of altitude.....

Slightly mushroomy on the nose. The palate has cassis and a bit of green pepper. Not as smooth tannins as you might expect from a Margaux. A bit lacking in fruit and body. Relatively well balanced. Finish is a touch short and the tanins are average quality. No better than a good bdx you could pick up for 8 to 10 euros. The other thing about a slightly sub-par 2nd wine is that it hardly makes you want to go out and buy the grand vin.
