Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite
Réserve Spéciale Bordeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon
Bordeaux, France
70% Merlot 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Switched from beer by the pool to white wine with a shrimp boil and now (because I have to have my red) this slightly dry, smokey red is a good finish to a day spent with friends who I graduated from high school with in Iceland.

Great bouquet--some floral and citrus. Bit of leather aroma

I must have had a bad bottle because I found this borderline tasteless

Still have difficulty with Bordeaux's. They seem so mild but perhaps it's because they're not as fruit forward.

This pic is actually of a white Bordeaux, and I like it very much.
