2008 Chateau d’Arcins; Haut-Médoc; Cru Bourgeois
plum, coffee, dark fruits and hints of spicy new wood. Herbs, mint and some cool acidity. A very drinkable wine. Pleasant and will improve with age. Perhaps what one would call a solid Bordeaux. Hints of cedar and tobacco lingering underneath. Pencil lead, shavings. ***(+?) or [3.5+4+4+4=15.5/20]
