Château Pey la Tour Reserve du Chateau 2014
Bordeaux, FranceThis vineyard dates back to the Middle Ages. Respect. This blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon is splashed with two percent petit verdot before a year in oak (approximately 50 percent is new). Severe in youth, as befitting a Bordeaux Superieur, this carries smoked stones, branchy tobacco, and tight cassis on its strict form. There's a wee cushion of black plum and blacker cherry on the mid palate, but this strips quickly back quickly to the tight, bitter-edged and powdery finish. Simple, classical, and proper, drink now with roast beef and Yorkshire pudding or hold for a couple of years in the cellar.Tasted: 22 June 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
