SERIOUS RED BORDEAUX ($18) Friday March 30th/ 4- 7:30 @ Mt. Tabor Fine Wines

29 Mar

I am really excited about this one. It’s a lineup of stellar Red Bordeaux where each wine shows the complexity and style of Bordeaux. Every one tastes just like I expect a solid bottle of Bordeaux to taste. The wines in the flight of 5 are all from the exceptional vintage of 2009. This is one of those vintages that has it all………..from both ends. The wines are ripe enough to taste great young but with enough structure to last and improve for a very long time. The premium pour is from my favorite district, The Graves. Parker claims it’s one of the wines of the vintage. Come see what you think for yourself.
