Château Haut Queyran Medoc AOC 2009

The wine greets you with a deep cherry core that is moderately opaque moving to a narrow dark pink rim.  On the nose there is the pronounced aroma dried currants/raisins with hints of elusive vanilla, cedar-wood, earth and mintiness.  A melange of elusive aromas.  On the palate the wine is dry, light-bodied, almost thin, (surprising considering 13.%%ABV) with moderate mouth-watering acidity and low level of tannins.  The flavors are very low intensity (thin) with only slight hints of the cedar-wood/cigar-box and earth.  The finish is clean with a very short length of lingering cedar-wood and some black pepper spice evolving in the background.

Wine & Food:  Serve between 50F to 60F.  Ideal for Barbecue, pasta, pizza and other informal meals.
