We do not know why we do it but we are drinking Bordeaux again. This got RP 92. We are not sophisticated enough to enjoy this type of wine but we keep trying thinking that one day we may develop the taste. We have the correct food; fillet mignon (perfectly cooked), asparagus, mashed potatoes etc for this wine. We even had croc monsieur as Hors d'oeuvre. The nose; yes the nose, pure Bordeaux nose, that is to say "funk" or "basement" (our basement does not have this type of smell, by the way) and we can not smell anything beyond that. The taste; it tastes better than it smells. Again, Bordeaux taste with austere characters and with relatively mild tannin. But we can not get over the smell!One day, when we grow up, we will appreciate this but until then, we will be happier with less sophisticated wines.
P.S. Last night, a strong myasma smell (happens rarely for whatever reason) arose from the nearby marsh...Initially, we thought the smell was from this bottle left on the balcony. We commented on how pervasive the funk from the wine had become.
