Château Croix Mouton Jean-Philippe Janoueix 2016 Bordeaux Superieur, $14.49-$17.99, 90 points*, poured a rainbow of ruby reds with a splash of orange in the penumbra near the clear and broad meniscus, showed moderately fat legs.
Smells of blackberries, plums, faint hints of vanilla, roses, mint, and cinnamon were complex and above the point of sale.
Full-bodied, soft, warm, showed a supportive underlayment of tannin, fair acidity, flavors reflective of the aromas with a whisper of anise.
Finished fair, a hint of spice, and with a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired fine with my spice-rubbed rib eye.
*Average score is 86.5 points, but after careful consideration and some ridicule, my 90-point score stands.
