Château Le Gay

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

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

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Great nose with red and black fruits, cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, black pepper and black tea.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, vanilla, cola, cedar, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 20 year old Merlot from Bordeaux. Nicely balanced with a nice, soft mouthfeel. Rich and elegant with nice complexity.

Easy drinking and needs an hour of airtime to open up properly.

The 2004 was not a good vintage, but it is showing really well now.

Robert Parker 93 points.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with foods like game meats.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$220.

Château Le Bon Pasteur

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2019 Bon Pasteur has more fruit concentration than either the Gravette de Certan and La Fleur de Gay tasted alongside - blackberry and wild strawberry, truffle and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine acidity, firm backbone yet with plenty of freshness on its sappy finish. A fine Pomerol. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Château La Fleur de Gay

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Decanted for 3 hours before returning to the bottle prior to dinner. The 2008 pours a deep garnet color a with near opaque; medium+ with moderate staining and some signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dark plums, purple flowers, some green bell pepper, tobacco, graphite, leather, mint, and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins that are mostly integrated and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A classy, perfectly matured Pomerol that was a lovely pairing with a Tomahawk ribeye. Drink now through 2033. Thanks Andy! — 5 days ago
