2004 Graves de Vayres AOC, Bordeaux, France

Berries and cassis on the nose, slightly dried fruit, light spicy and earthy notes. Fairly light-bodied on the palate, appealing fruit with preserved berries, delicate vegetal and light green notes in the background, integrated, fairly mature tannins, not a lot of substance, but straightforward, attractive finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2007. What our ratings mean
