Chateau Fontblanche, Bordeaux, 2005
Here's something we opened at the tail end of the evening after a Chilean Malbec, and two Oregon Cabs. Immediately, it was obvious that this was much drier (and lighter) than anything else that we had earlier.
The nose was dusty, along with a subtle white pepper. The taste was predominantly red cherry. The finish was a traffic jam of dirt (earth) and a bitter stem taste.
Not a big hit after those heavier cabs, yet not horrible either. Just ill placed in the order of our consumption, I suppose.
