Pervasive

Domaine Bergon, France
Cabernet Sauvignon,
BCK (but everywhere really) 8800RwF
[Lunch with Senegalese + friends; comments from me alone]

No food:
At first you are skipping through the forest, smelling earth and wood and moss. You are skipping so intently that you don't see the cliff and fall off the side, flat on your face. Foresty with a steep and immediate fall. No finish.

With food:
There is no cliff, you stumble upon patch of wild berries, even, strange for a forest, a pear tree. What the hell is it doing in the forest? And now that we have introduced pear, why not a little pepper finish? This is muddled, but it stays with you when you have some food (food here: fish in red/coconut sauce, lemon roasted chicken and onions and rice). The pepper lounges for a while but does not stay for coffee.

This brand is the only one that is found in every grocery store in Kigali, and it is the second cheapest cheap wine that I have located.
