Le Cadet de Larmande, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Open and allow it to breath for a while to let off the heat and funky fruit, which after settling, loses its flabbiness and is much more approachable. In fact, it was better the next day. Dark inky garnet colored, slightly lean, medium bodied, bright forward black berry and black cherry fruits with lively acidity are a bit tart on the front palette with a bit of alcohol 'heat' on the initial opening, but it settles down to a layer …

With some green peppercorn and some sort of cracked wheat cracker on the nose. Palate is soft and sweet, with a good structure to it.

Third label from Larmande. And corked. Or maybe its just green? Or maybe it just needs to blow off. Tastes not right. Something is up with the bottle.
