Vintage: 2007
Price Range: ???
Producer: Chateau La Baume
Region & Country: Costieres de Nimes, Languedoc-Roussilon, France

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Recommended By: The Flight Attendant on Air France...actually, that's the only wine they offered on the flight. But it was free, so I wasn't about to complain.

Place & Date Purchased: Not purchased - 08/13/2008
Place & Date Tasted: Somewhere over Canada, flying to Paris - 08/13/2008

Appearance: Deep purple

Nose: It didn't have a scent when poured; it was very light
Taste: Slightly fruity, but not strong. It has more of a hot taste to it.
Finish: Warm after-taste that slightly lingers
Overall Impression: The bottle was cold when they served it. I think I would have enjoyed it more at room temperature. The taste was fair and plain. I know I've had better.

Overall Rating: 80/100

So funny to see your half bitten nails up close. I was afraid you hadn't stopped biting them. The way you describe wine is the way I describe coffee beans. How fitting? Since I don't drink and never will again probably. If I was really into drinking like as a hobby it would be fine dark microlots of beer.. delish.
