Mouton Cadet 2005 Bordeaux

In the mouth this wine is tannic with tight fruit and bread. Lots of potential in this 65% Merlot 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc; your basic Bordeaux blend.

The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with full tannins enhancing ripe berry flavors. Fruit is still stingy but it is there. This is actually a very nice wine at this price point and a typical old world wine in all the great ways. This is a far superior wine than what you normally get for this price from any country.
