Wine Tasting 2: 2003 Ch. Le Marquisat La Perouse

michaelyblam asked:


A CHEAP relatively unknown Bordeaux red benefitted from the super hot 2003 vintage selling at Cad$9.99! The wine has bright young red fruits like red cherry, strawberry and raspberry followed by strong pig pen, foxy, gamey, dirty soil scents. The wine carries a good level of tannin and has reasonably structure but otherwise a simple offering. The finish is short. This wine needs decanting. It’s NOT a wine for those who dislike the pig pen attack. Cad$9.99 is a bargain if you like the style …

    An acquired taste in whisky is the soil.
    The key word guess many of good thing balance is really from yeast and bacteria too much of positive tastes in wine.

    Absolutely not – more attribute to so called dirty wine making from a yeast named Brettanomyces. A corked wine is completely different and I am very good at detecting it.

    The pig pen taste suggest its going off and corked.
