This is the first Bordeaux I have ever bought, and perhaps ever tasted. Fitting, then, that it cost me only ten bucks. I immediately noticed how fragrant this wine is - I felt I could drink it simply by sniffing. There are flavours of cherry and licorice, and a spicy finish. Not as big as expected, but again, I don''t know what is typical for a Bordeaux. Discovered this wine reading Jurgen Gothe's Uncorked column in the Georgia Straight.
