An good example is the Chateau de Cazenove 2010 Bordeaux Supérieur. This Bordeaux Supérieur is produced with 65% Merlot with 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and is classic Merlot-dominant in that it has a silky texture. The smooth aromas are dark and balanced, with blackberry and earthy characteristics reminiscent of cedar and wet clay. Beautiful fruit notes of plum and black cherry, with a cola-like nuance and a touch of spice grace the luscious palate. This wine possesses well-integrated tannins that are soft, but still noticeably grippy.
A Bordeaux Supérieur like Chateau de Cazenove’s 2010 expression offers the balanced profile one expects from Bordeaux, while still keeping its tannins and oak influence in balance to let the fruit shine and the wine drink beautifully in its youth. And for about $20 a bottle, it’s a great way to get to know Bordeaux"
