Château Le Peuy-Saincrit Château Le Peuy-Saincrit

Jen refused to drink this (so we spilled it). I thought it was mediocre but drinkable. It was $5.85 / bottle on sale a long time ago. 85 points

Tastes a little of tea. Best with the roast chicken

try in 2009, I guess?

I guess I am a hard grader. We bought these for $5.80/bottle; at this price the wine represents excellent value. However, I wouldn't buy it at the regular $15 retail. There were some fruit and wood notes, but it was closed. Not very tannic ... and a little grapey on the end. Maybe bottle variation? ... I don't know.

Deep red color. A someone restrained nose with a few woody notes. Seems to be merlot dominated, though quite fresh and balanced, if on the ripe end of spectrum. The fruit is a touch muted but the texture and finish suggest there may be something more. Not super-tasty at the moment but well-made and good QPR.

Cocoa and plum nose. Palate of clear terroir, vines, truffles and licorice. Finish is long, dry, slightly bitter, with cocoa and plum skins.

purple, deep intensity, thin rim candied violet nose, dry, herbaceous, youthful, jammy red and black fruit, licorice, rosemary, mint Palate: tannin is medium high, acid medium, body full, finish long and persistant.
