Last night the wine of the evening was the 2018 Château Saby Bordeaux Superieur. Right Bank Fronsac, Saint Aignan Gironde France. 100% Merlot.

On the nose there is black cherry, black raspberry, plum, black currant, herbaceous, black pepper, mint, vanilla and crushed gravel.

On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, pomegranate, plum, herbal notes, black currant, black tea, menthol and gravel.

This is a medium+ to full body with a smooth velvety mouthfeel medium +acidity and medium + soft fine tannins which leaves you with a medium to long juicy dark fruit earthy finish. I hope your weekend is starting off right and are enjoying some wonderful wines. Have a great rest of your weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Bold tobacco, oak, and vanilla flavors. Lush mouth feel, mild acidity. Couldn't drink alone, but would pair well with food.

Nice deep color. Nose: plum, currant, some clay, cocoa, mint. A bit of the perfumed grapiness I sometimes associate with inexpensive merlot (uhoh). Taste: juicy, grapey, some clay. A bit simple, but pretty good! 88-89.
