It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby/ purple in color with a purplish rim.
Light nose of red fruits with chocolate notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4 year old Merlot from Saint Julien is drinking nicely now. Showing mild complexity and fruit forward.
A good quality Second Wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
A blend of 80% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
13% alcohol by volume.
89 points.
$40.

Last night we opened the 2018 Le Petit Ducru de Ducru-Beaucaillou. Saint-Julien from the Left Bank Bordeaux. This was previously known as Laland-Borie.
On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, nlack currant, mocha, violets, black licorice and earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, cedar, herbaceous notes, spice, black pepper, graphite and earth.
This wine is full bodied with medium + mouthwatering acidity and medium + crunchy mouthcoating tannins the move instantly into a long black fruit gravelly soil finish. I hope everyone is having a great weekend enjoying some fine wines. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

If you drink a lot of pleasant, simple wine (like I do), the first complex wine in a while can wake the sense like a Wim Hoff ice bath. Le Petit Ducru is also a due reminder that I should drink more Bordeaux.
Intense, rich, layered. Pours velvet ribbons of violet tinted motor oil. About 100 layers of aromatics - cassis, syrupy blackberries, leather, coffee, milk chocolate. Big juicy grippy tannin. Flavors of dark cherry plum, mocha, laden with minerals and juicy berries. Real symphony on hand.

I had a few chips and salsa before sipped this and i noticed a cinnamon flavor. No more chips. Just wine. I no longer notice the cinnamon. Dark fruit. Medium body. Feels cool and smooth on my palate. A little dry finish. I am enjoying.
