Chateau Bentejac Bordeaux Rouge, 2018 Etna the wines age in aBright 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
