Château Petit-Faurie-Quet 2010 Cuvée Tradition

Merlot-Cabernet Franc (Saint-Émilion)

Near-opaque wine with deep crimson rim. Iron, red earth, cedar and cranberry preserves offer a fairly complex nose. The aromas rest divided between the fresh and the evolved. Moderate body with faint viscosity and surprisingly gentle tannins make this easy-drinking Bordeaux. Though short on the finish, this is a pleasant wine that should be enjoyed fairly early, now through 2015. Probably won’t evolve much.
