Cave du Marmandais Our Five Senses

2020 - A bordelaise nose of blackberries, black cherry, currants, plum fruits wrapped in dark cocoa, spice, nicely framed in purple flowers. A rich, medium bodied palate that is front to back, side to side laden in lush berry flavors, suede like tannins and long finish. This holiday party wine swings way above its pay grade and delivers all aces in the glass. The complexity of this wine makes it just enjoyable by itself, or serve it with chilled tenderloin sammies, roasted stuffed mushrooms, or lamb meatball appetizers.--Finn
