Not a typical vintage for Bordeaux, but this red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Medoc shows some nice plum, blackberry and toasted oak notes on the nose. It’s a leaner style, with cranberry/cherry, blackberry fruits, roasted coffee bean, vanilla, good acidity and supple tannins. A very nice pairing with grilled red meats.
