Chateau Bentejac Bordeaux Rouge, 2018 Etna It then spends 8 monthsBright brush, eucalyptus, sweet violets, blackberry, hints of hazelnut. Palate is linear yet silky, with purple flowers, peppery spice and tobacco leaves. 90% Merlot, with the balance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its freshness comes from being vinified in concrete vats. This is a no nonsense, straight forward Bordeaux. An easy example of the pure spirit of everyday drinking wine from the region. Asques Bordeaux, France
