A nice comparison of French St. Julien and French winemaker, in the US with a Napa Cab.
The 1972 vintage was one of the legendary five Cabs selected for the 1976 Paris Tasting.

This 1975, had a deep garnet color with a brick rim. Loads of blackberry on the nose, casis and earthy notes. Fruit forward, black fruit and plum dominate, nice tannins. This wine definitely evolved through the evening.

Previous Notes Apply to the 75 St Julien:
Deep ruby color. Aromas of red fruit, leather and earthy notes. Amazing flavors, blackberry, black currant, tobacco and baking spices.

Im offenausschank und vorher noch auf delectable gecheckt. Bei den noten dachte ich erst dass es nicht ganz der gleiche wein von diesem produzenten sein kann. Nach dem zweiten schluck allerdings schon! Wow! Einfach wow! Feinfruchtig, weisse blüten, birnen, etwas minze, im gaumen weich, rund, südfrüchtig mit leichter mineralität. Hut ab! — 5 days ago

2022 vintage. Any wine that smells like roses gets my attention. In this case the roses are intertwined with spices, and it is hard to find wines this cheap that smell so nice. A delicious,uncomplicated, spicy and fruity Negrette, with a little tannic bite that can be served slightly cold. Abv. 12,5%. This organic Fronton delivers lots of pleasure and character, and it sells for a song. — 2 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong and fruity nose with ripe black fruits and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cooked cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco and chocolates.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Soft, elegant, and very impressive.

Rich, complex and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This 6 year old Merlot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Drinking it with the wine maker in the winery's cellar is always a special experience.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
