French guy missteps on the dance floor. Nose is wood, black pepper, and blackcurrant. Palate is the same, with the pepper coming forward strong. Very dry, and perhaps too much so, since some sugar might balance out the overall glass. Lacking a lot of what makes a great Bordeaux, making me think this bottle might not have been stored properly by the shipper. Grapes are traditional bordeaux blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot.
