Château Du Bois Chantant
Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
Gotta drink some French juice whilst watching the French final, non? Hm. Cherries, blueberries, oaky vanilla, kinda sharp tannin, but it's rounding off a bit as it opens. Kinda digging the Froggy grape squeezins. Really coating my mouth and lingering.

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing....and wine is the best device to overdo..moderation is for cowards...so...with this in mind we opened and decanted this guy...first impressions.. dark ruby color displays the youth of this guy.. beautiful nose...raspberry and plum baking spice and vanilla...on the palate...plum and blackberries..the baking spice from earlier...dust and just a kiss of oak. Grippy tannins and med plus finish. I am sure this guy while tasty and nice now will only be improved by a dozen years of aging...something to mellow out the tannin structure that at this point kinda messes with this guys flow.

Wow. Opened nicely. Worked well with ribs and would be great with steak or even grilled chicken. Really nice and dry and smooth.

Very nice value Bordeaux. Violets and vanilla on the nose. Tannic, medium bodied, definitely needs to breathe for a while - as expected for a 2015. Oaky fruit on the palate with an average finish.

Poured in a decanter for an hour. Great nose, taste is peppery
