Bargain Bordeaux: 2007 Château La Louvière Rouge
Deep cherry red, some light rims indicate first maturity. Classical cabernet nose; blackcurrants and blackberries paired with unsmoked tobacco and licorice. On the palate very fruity with medium-long finish. The expected classical medium-bodied Bordeaux. Provides a lot of fun for the money.
This wine is just at the beginning and will remain on this level for the next three years. After that it is storable and consumable for five years more. At the moment a nice partner for wild fowl.
