Red #Bordeaux #wine from France: 2001 : http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Canon Fronsac. Producer: J. Bussier, 33126 St-Michel-De-Fronsac, Gironde. Vintage: 2001. Appearance surprisingly red and only looking a little aged with rich and firm blackcurrant scent with a touch of wood and forest floor aromatics. The attack is a touch of watery juice and quite low-acid. Evolution: Blackcurrants and red blackberries, crisp acidity and no sign of age with a finish which is watery blackberry juice on the swallow, red fruits in the nose. Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 1 with a texture which is sandpaper and the length is very varied over the tongue and nice lingering redcurrant and blackcurrant flavours. As for balance, it's a little watery and lacking in body. The wine has a cork closure and is 12.5% abv. Overall, this wine is: This is nice but was overpowered by my corned beef hash. It's very light for a Bordeaux and has that slight watery quality, but this doesn't detract from it: it gives it a certain elegance. I am particularly struck by its youthfulness. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 83 points.
