CLOSERIE DU PELAN
Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
this is the 2016 WHITE not the RED.
100% SB
Smells a bit like opening a pack of sultana raisins, specifically, a little waxed paper box of them in your school lunch. Something like cedar or a little, varnished wood toy, definitely dried fruit, bruised or dried Jonagold apple. The fruit on the front of the palate is almost totally gone, but you are reminded of fruit when you exhale. It’s a kind of strange wine, and seems perhaps past its peak, but it didn’t cost too much and I have definitely not drunk a whole lot of Bdx Blanc lately. I would not expect my life to be changed by drinking this in any context, but I do not expect that of very much. It really tasted good with the black bass sushi bowl I improvised tonight, I think owing to its lower alcohol, soft texture and quiet elegance.
