Tasting: Chateau La Verriere Bordeaux Superieur



Name:
Chateau La Verriere Bordeaux Superieur 
Variety: 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc
Region: Bordeaux 
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $8.99

Wine Enthusiast Review: "This complex, spicy and fruity wine is big, with attractive acidity. It is piled with berry fruits that give a rich character. The fruits are supported by well-judged wood. This full-bodied wine will develop well; drink from 2017." Scored 90 Points. 

My Review: This was my first time trying a wine from the Bordeaux region of France, so I cannot compare it to others from this region. However, I really liked this wine--especially for the price. This wine was initially smooth and fruity, but finished spicy and tart. I tasted flavors of black cherry. I would definitely buy this again. 

I tasted this on its own, with no food.
