Winery Review: "Flamboyant and deep, with ample, lush and fresh forest fruits, bramble and cassis, with cascading sweet spice swifty following. A super, brooding wine which will shine brighter with time"

Wine Folly: pg 158 "Bordeaux Blend" -I definitely noted the intense body and high tannin content of this wine the second it entered my mouth! Of the notes listed in the book the ones I got were Cherry and herbs. I am not sure what a black currant tastes like.
Personal Review: This was one of two favorites from this weeks tasting of French wines at the Vintage Cellar. I liked this one because of its boldness. I imagine it would be good with food. It was not particularly heavy like some other bold reds I have tasted, and was actually quite bright on the finish. Lots of fruit, and some darker herby notes as well.
I did not have any food with this wine.
