Chateau Joanin-Bécot 2003

After dinner we partook in this Bordeaux from Côtes de Castillon. Initially it showed quite pronounced aromas of fruit cake, chocolate and sweet sherry. On the palate again initially quite sweet and sherry like, almost hot, but tannins did kick in to settle and dry the wine, and with the help of some strawberries, it became quite smooth, dry and creamy towards the end of the bottle. Not deep in structure but taught enough with good decanting. Very fruit focused but still pleasant.
