Peyruguet day

Jolivet “Haut Peyruguet” 2005 Bordeaux Rosé (Bordeaux) – Some of the weedy leafiness that lingers in the background of a complex red Bordeaux is here, but without all the rest of the stuff that makes it pleasant, rather than offputting. Red cherry fruit is sticky and a little over-dulled, while there’s not much that’s refreshing or interesting to add to the mix. (1/08)
