2014 Château Brannens



Bought it at Trader Joe's. There, you can buy great wines for cheap, or decent wines even cheaper, but sometimes you get something strange. And sometimes, total failure. This one is not a total failure, but strange it is. 2014 was a pretty good year in Bordeaux, but something depends on producer, and this one is not up to the task. And this is Graves appellation, should be something distinctive. Well, the only distinctive thing about it is a strong smell and taste of sour cherry. I don't mind this note, in moderation. But when it's like cherry juice, no. Aerator helped a bit, but not enough.
Would not but again.
