I had such good luck with other 2014 Bordeaux’s that this wine caught my attention. Being from the Haut-Medoc region (left bank)
famous Bordeaux wine region of southwestern France, I have heard great reviews of the grapes from this area. Right after opening, there was not too much aroma and flavor, but after letting this wine breath for approximately 2 hours, a greater, more complex wine appeared. (Suggest to open for several hours before serving or decant.) Flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and anise are evident. This wine has a clean smell to it. I paired this wine with a caprese salad and a beautiful honey balsamic marinated flank steak, and it paired spectacular as the sweet foods enhanced the flavors of this Bordeaux’s acidity even more after the 2 hour breathing.
