tempranillo fr atypical region

Image
did a blind tasting w this. Aroma, palate all zoomed towards a balanced abt 10 years old borduex.well balance.tanin n acidicity were balanced n so easy to drink. First impression was a vintage Bordeaux ( apologize for my inexperienced in wine).but turned out to be a china temparnillo fr HuNan. Balanced of red fruits, cigar oak flavor  Yes, finished is not long...but overall was a very easy balanced wine.need to work hard on my palate n nose . Drink more

It's interesting to hv these two cab sab blend red to compare concurrently. The Bordeaux ( right bank) is a classic. Elegant,balance  black fruits (berry , cherry) n fine woody cigar touch. Can vaguely appreciate the tertiary aroma of mushroom in this 2016. The African red has more wooden cast aroma(which I kana like it) w more spice ( maybe fr the Shiraz/ petite verdott).
