It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here is a beautiful one from Pomerol.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish/ cloudy rim.
Great nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, oak, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, cocoa, earth, bell pepper, leather, vegetables, spices and black pepper.
Full-bodied, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, cherries, plums, light bell pepper, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, leather, earth, cinnamon, light vinaigrette and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Here is the story of this one. I opened it yesterday and decanted it for 2 hours, but it didn't feel like it was there, so I put it back in the bottle and put it in the fridge.
Today this is a different story. This wine is singing already. Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and Interesting with a great nose.
Good by itself or with food. very enjoyable by itself or with food.
This 3 year old is still very young, but very approachable with enough air time. Showing lots of fruits now. Really enjoyable and delicious. Graceful and generous.
This young Bordeaux needs time to mature and will be great in the next 10 to 20 years.
I paired it with cheeses, fresh blackberries and olives.
A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Kosher for Passover. Not Mevushal.
