Country: France /
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Magdelaine / Saint-Émilion
As often with Magdelaine in recent vintages, this is on the austere side. Its firm tannins and structure dominate the fruit. That said, it does have bright fruit underneath all this tightness, and is finely balanced, the berry fruits lifted with some intense acidity. It needs another few months to settle in bottle.
