Château Haut Prieur 2012 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Haut Prieur / Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

Vanilla and caramel flavors dominate this wine after 12 months in French oak. That means that the fruit is really not allowed to shine. It is firm, very dry and all about spice. A pepper flavor from the alcohol leaves a burn in the mouth.
