Bordeaux 2012 Chateau Redon

Grapes: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot.
Region: France> Bordeaux.
Notes: Unoaked, low acid.

Description: First opened, expressions of loam and tar come to mind. As it aerates hints of black pepper start to be reveal. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied and quite soft due to a lower level of acidity. However the wine shows good complexity of charred wood, black currants and dried figs. Good balance and nice length as it finishes with notes of bramble and pencil shavings.
