Chateau Tour Saint Joseph Cru Bourgeois Haut Médoc 2012, Bordeaux, France

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, rhubarb, cooked cherries, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, black pepper and licorice.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, tobacco leaf, coffee, licorice, peppercorn, earth and herbs.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This 13 year old Merlot based blend from Bordeaux is still drinking nicely, although will not last long. Easy drinking and complex.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime. I really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.

A good food wine that paired nicely with the charcuterie board.

A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Black cherries and plum. Dark but not heavy. Solid red, would be an excellent table wine, and great chilled. Grew a lot on me over time. — 3 years ago

Very tasty white blend. Not steely at all. Acidic like it's almost carbonated. A bit minerally. Loved it. — 5 years ago

Does anyone know the difference between this and a Sauternes? They taste so much alike. — a year ago

Always looking for a great Bordeaux Blanc and this Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon did not disappoint. Full-bodied. Balanced. Refreshing. Grapefruit & floral aromas. Citrus & mineral flavors. Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
