Pezat Bordeaux Superieur
Bright-intense appearance, with present aromas of blackberry, fig and apple. Strong start, drops off quickly to very little flavour. The finish is subtle-layered. An overall acceptable-good red blend from france.

Notes
On first opening, strong off the top and dropping off quickly to very little flavour or presence in mouth. After 1/2 hour, longer, tannins more consistent and rich, but still no by any means a massive wine.
