Calvet Aetos 2000
Cotes de Castillon, Cotes de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, FranceAetos is a blend of 94 per cent merlot, four per cent cabernet franc and two per cent malbec. The opening is typical Cotes de Castillon with green sawdust shavings on the nose and some leafy blackcurrant fruit. It is elegant and round in the mouth and well balanced with black spicy, clove, and black cherry in the finish but it's hard to get by the upfront dry, green cedar aromas that tend to disappoint on the nose.Tasted: 15 July 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $58.99 | 750ml | Speculative - Corby |
