Thunevin In the family, I want the little-son, good pick! And this is how, during a brief passage in the House of Vintage , boulevard Saint-Germain, I am left with a bottle of Baby Bad Boy 2009.
I already could taste the "big brother" Bad Boy in the 2006 vintage . He had a lot more.
The bottle is open for dinner. It accompanies a very simple menu: a quiche with a salad.
The color is deep, explosive nose. Myriad fruit as you bite into your mouth. Mediterranean origins are beyond doubt. I drop under the merlot. I like marriage. Good length on the palate with persistent flavors of ripe fruit pleasant.
This wine is a small ball gun! 90/100
bottle displays a name "Vin de France". Now, as I regularly read the blog Jean-Luc Thunevin , I knew that wine was a blend of Merlot from the Bordeaux region and Grenache Maury. But no mention of this double-origin labeling of the bottle. Will marketing? Or regulatory constraints?
A rant too : Cap. The cork! Baby Bad Boy is perhaps not a wine (at the same time do we have enough perspective to say it?). Paid for a bottle € 15, I was somewhat disappointed when the plug out. If Baby Bad Boy is intended to be consumed quickly, why not go outright to the screw cap is by far much more fun!
