2015 Château Brun
Tasting note
Decanted for two hours. Deep red color that still shows little sign of aging. On the nose, red fruits and dark berries paired with very subtle tobacco notes. This impression continues on the palate: red cherries and currants are prominent. In addition, a lively acidity. Haptically, the wine is characterized by a medium body with soft tannins. All in all, not an overly complex, but very pleasant Bordeaux that is a pleasure to have in the glass and goes well with braised dishes, for example.
Drink through 2025.
