Hump day and the weekend is looming. I picked up today the 2010 Château Calon Montagne-Saint Emilion. 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec.
The nose is very expressive with dark fruit, blackberry, black cherry, black plum, chocolate, cremé de cassis, tobacco, and rich loamy soil.
On the palate the dark fruit continues with blackberries, black cherry, black currant, green peppercorn, green bell pepper, violets and a good minerality.
This wine is full bodied with a velvety mouth feel, medium + acidity and medium + grippy tannins that lead to a long rich enjoyable finish. You can expect at least anouth 5-15 years before this reaches it's full potential. Let's have a safe rest of the week and get into a restful weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Second bottle - Nose: chocolate, dark berries, a little breadiness (like bread dough). Taste is smooth, nice blueberries and a little tobacco (?). Don’t get the herbs I got from the first bottle. Still a great bottle of wine.

Oct 16th, 2021Smells like blackberries and minerals - like a mild forest river. Some slight vegetal or spice smell - like pine or cardamom? Tastes like it smells - blackberries and a little bit of mild herbs, with a dash of very slight wintergreen. Smooth, velvety tannins. I really like it. Fine price at the usual $20, awesome deal at the $11-for-the-last-of-the-stock that I paid. Went back and bought everything that was left. EDIT: BAY LEAF. IT TASTES A BIT LIKE BAY LEAF! Thanks to the other reviewer, he nailed it.

Merlot is goood when you have mooooney. And 9 years of aging makes it a velvety-smooth blackberry delight.
