1/25/2015 - Week 1

Region: Haut-Medoc

Winery review: This wine has wonderful aromatics that is enhanced by the 5% Petit Verdot which adds a delightful floral and violet expression. Blackberries, blueberries, cedar, plums. The fruit is vivacious but also has a richness in the mid palate. This wine is great value at only 10 Euros! Tasted in: Bordeaux, France. Maturity: Young.

My Review:  Very tart and dry, I could tell there were hints of flowers from the smell, but the dryness of the wine, distracted meme and I couldn't taste specific flavors..  I was able to pick out a fruity taste, more specifically a berry taste, but I could not taste which type of berry. Although dry, I did enjoy this wine and liked the rich fruit flavors.  I did not eat food with this wine.
