Château La Prade
Côtes de Francs Red Bordeaux Blend
Bricking at the rim, but opaque overall. Velvety tannins, rich fruit, beautiful tertiary development and balanced acidity. A touch hot, but I can’t complain. Bargain/sleeper/opulent/vindegarde?

Nov 16th, 2019Drank over two days. Best on Day 2. Cassis, lingonberries jam, tobacco and chocolate oranges (??) on the nose. Fascinating really. Tart plums and cassis on the palate and the oranges come back on the finish. Solid structure; stiff tannins. Really fun wine. Wish I had more.

Jan 10th, 2017Merlot driven blend? Beef and chicken fondue, tempura battered vegetables. Very round Bordeaux, tannins are well integrated. Drink now.
