Chateaux Sainte Barbe Bordeaux 2006

Variety: 100% Merlot
Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Bordeaux
Vintage: 2006
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Residual sugar: g/l
Acidity: g/l
Color: medium red
Bouquet: not very strong, rather difficult to identify, hint of sweeter cherries
Taste: medium body, sour cherries and black currant, higher and slightly unsettled tannins, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: juicy steak
Overall score: 80
Price: CZK ??
Stopper: cork
This wine was the second, but for me it was the 4th due to harsher tannins and less expressive taste I would expect from Bordeaux. BTW Marian called the label of this wine to be more similar to wine for CZK 100 from new world:), which is up to the personal preference.
