85-15 Cab to Merlot blend. A more homey and cute drawing of the chateau on the label. Nothing too grandiose here. Color is dark and deep. Smells like Bordeaux. Oil cloth, ink from a ballpoint pen and black currant syrups. Flavors are supple and easier. Not extra tannic. Certainly avoids the fruit bomb of the new world. Savory with a hint of funkiness. Herbal tea (like a blend of mugwort and slippery elm) with an hint of extracted cherry stuff. It’s a low key, but tasty example of the standard red from Bore-doe.
