Red #Bordeaux #wine from France: 2009 #organic: http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Chàteau Moulin de Riba. Producer: J.-J. Garbay, Saint-Germain d'Esteuil (Gironde). Vintage: 2009. Purchased from Carrefour. Appearance dark purpley red, slow and viscous on the glass with earthy Bordeaux, a touch of black cherry, blackcurrant aromatics. The attack is hard and juicy. Evolution: Blackcurrants, forest floor, pretty acidic, cassis with a finish which is sharp on the swallow, blackcurrants in the nose. Sweetness: 0. Acidity: 4. Tannin: 4 with a texture which is sandpaper and the length is excellent, quite long finish. As for balance, it's over-acidic and too young. The wine has a cork closure and is 13.5% abv. Overall, this wine is: Good body but way too much acidity. Perhaps this could have done with another 3-4 years in the bottle. It was quite nice with venison stew, but on its own it's hard to drink. My score is 78 points.
