Vignerons de Buzet 2005 Baron d’Ardeuil Vieilles Vignes Red (Buzet)

Country: France / Baron d’Ardeuil Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Southwest France
Winery: Vignerons de Buzet / Buzet

The Buzet co-op’s top brand, this is big, powerful and rich. It is dominated by blackberry jelly and sweet plums, as well as firm tannins. The palate is weighty, solid, maybe missing freshness but certainly giving good intensity.
