Weekend in Arcachon and obligatory passage at Cash Vin, the wine shop La Teste near Carrefour. After have turned a long time in the store, taking bottles, having rested, I stopped my choice on a bottle of vintage Pauillac 99, a Castle Beher. This domain me everything seems to be enough confidence to view the limited information that I discovered him on the Internet.
Interesting, this wine is part of Crus Artisans that I discovered at the same time. These wines are the property of families providing all stages of vine cultivation to distribution.
The wine was tasted a first time last night and only open three hours before the meal. Well dear reader, you almost never read his lines. Wine enjoyed last night was then shown in a very bad day. Discovering a too sharp acidity and a "taste" Ferrous thought I drop the bottle in the pantheon of scams over 10 €.
After 24 hours of ventilation in the single bottle, it is better.

The carafe is what was missing! I, wrongly, thought that leaving the opened bottle for several hours would suffice, unfortunately not. She is now finding a little lower than the shoulder, so it aired for 24 hours.
The dress is showing signs of evolution and has probably lost its luster, and above all its clarity. The first nose is fruity, quite charming I must say, it was also too yesterday. Then there are secondary flavors emerged: tobacco and cigar box mainly. On the palate, the wine was rounded. The attack is fresh and the wine generally right. He did not collapse but the final still offers a small back-Ferrous certe decreased but still there.
LGDD's note for this wine: 11.5 / 20.
And of course, your comments are always welcome.
Cheers, NL
