This was one of the first Bordeaux that I have ever had, and I was definitely looking forward to it. I never truly understood the New World/Old World difference until this wine. The Tellus Vinea had a simple dark red look, and its smell hit me like a ton of bricks. It was earthy, dirty, and made me feel like I was standing in my grandparent's cellar. After all of the New World wines that I've had, this was surely a treat. I tasted some apricot and maybe a little citrus in there, and it wasn't hot or very dry at all. It had a smooth, complex finish and with a little chicken parmesan I was able to pick up some nice fruitier tastes to it. This wine was the favorite of the night, and I highly recommend it.
