The Little Wooden Guy reminds you, "Bordeaux" does not necessarily mean "good wine."
Night One
The nose on this is a dead ringer for a mediocre cabernet from Chile. It is all green pepper and coffee. There is no fruit to be found.
On the palate, too, this seems more like Chile than Bordeaux. Blackcurrants are there, but they are cooked up with green peppers and some coffee grounds. Tannins are very firm, even hard. There is not much of a mid-palate and the finish dies off quickly.
Night Two
The nose did not get any better over night. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Hang on a second.
Oh heck, it got worse.
I'm going to go open something good. Or at least drinkable.
