'11 Château Moulin de Mallet 8/28
Bordeaux, France
ripe, raspberry, balanced
This inexpensive Bordeaux has pleasant fruit, some firm
tannins, and acid to balance up front. It's a mix of red and dark fruit;
raspberry was the main fruit flavor I got. It's medium-bodied, and lighter
and easier-drinking than some other Bordeaux we've recently tasted, so
this is a nice choice while it's still warm. Some earthiness appears in
the finish.
The winery is in the town of Pujols, which is just south of the prestigious St-Emilion
region of Bordeaux. The fruit, 80/20 Merlot/Cab, may be from a few
different places in the Bordeaux, which itself is in southwest France.
