Maison Bouey 2012 Château Lestruelle (Médoc)

Country: France / Bordeaux
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
Winery: Maison Bouey / Château Lestruelle

If only this wine wasn’t extracted so much (which gives bitterness), it would be ripe and fruity. As it is, it’s hard to get past the tight, dry tannins. There are hints of juiciness and black currant fruits. It might soften by 2016.
