Bourdeaux Rouge 2010
Margaux, France
Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot

Light raspberry and cherry jam on the nose supported by a touch of leafiness. Moderate weight on the palate - with some herbal notes and juicy raspberries finishing with good acid balance. (danmurphy's.com)
Um, so yeah I guess there were those things in there on the nose. I can see the cherry jam one a little bit but to be quite honest I didn't get much out of the nose on this one. Perhaps it was because I was a little bit stuffy then. The same kinda went for the taste as well. It was a base of a red fruit [cherries perhaps] and a strong drying tannic feel that really overpowered everything else in my opinion. However, I understand this was supposed to be a fairly dry wine. There was also quite a bit of heat on the end as well. I do think that maybe if it had several hours to sit out or years to store away it would be a much better and well balanced wine. Maybe I'll go pick up a bottle and try that out.
