Description
Château Bournac, Médoc
This is an exceptional value; it is ready to drink now with a few years of beauty sleep in the bottle but don’t hesitate to tuck away multiple bottles for a few years.
The 2014 Bournac has a dark opaque crimson core with garnet highlights on the rim. The aromas are filled with ripe black plums, preserved black cherries, black currants, fresh violets, licorice, wet leather, clay, and exotic baking spices. The palate is full-bodied with soft tannins and is loaded with plummy black fruits and wild berries, along with flavors of cocoa powder, red tobacco, cedar, crushed gravel, and a touch of sweet oak on the finish. The wine shows beautifully relatively quick after being opened; about 20 to 30 minutes in a decanter will allow the wine to come to life and drink well for many hours.
