Château Marsau
Côtes de Francs Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes de Francs, Bordeaux, France
100% Merlot imported from the crew over @winebid. From the initial pop this had the essence of a New World wine as it was round and fruit forward. This is Merlot done right! ✔️

Deep Ruby. Colour, nose and palate led me to believe it was new world tasted blind. Ripe fruit 100% Merlot plummy notes with hints of tobacco. I would prefer the French to stick to their knitting and not mimic the New World.

This wine leans more new world than old. The nose is cherry clafoutis, cooked strawberry, rhubarb, licorice, cinnamon, cedar and oak. The palate features dark cherry, spiced black tea, cranberry, pomegranate, and menthol. Medium plus tannins, high alcohol (which is a bit distracting), and high acid. The is a nice big wine that would match well with a juicy steak, its just not what I would expect from a right bank Bordeaux.

Black cherry, tobacco and lovely as it opens. Tannin forward. Pairs great with red meat. Spicy foo makes it peppery. . GM recommended.

Nov 23rd, 2019Deep ruby and dark purple in color. Menthol, cedar, tobacco and dried cherry, this old world merlot reminds me of a new world Mount Veeder Cab but a little dryer. Lip smacking tannins and zippy acid in the finish. Compact and well balanced.
