This was one of the half bottles I got from the Sports Shop at the Club. I got a bottle of each some while back but did not get round to trying them out yet. This AC Bordeaux was an offering from Schroder and Schyler, better known to me as the owner of Chateau Kirwan, a 3rd Growth of Margaux that my wife and I have enjoyed from time to time over the years. This petit Chateau is a small family owned winery a few kilometers from St Emilion and naturally features a right bank cepage of Merlot and Cabernet France in equal proportions. Vinification and aging is in steel tanks.
As for the wine, it was a dark ruby with a sweet acid fruity nose. The palate showed a touch of dilution, and was acid fruity and astringent palate, with a hot tannic acid backbone.
