Château Meaume
Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
On the nose black currants, black cherries, black plums, oak, spices, light vanilla, licorice, pencil lead, coffee, chocolates, earth, light vegetables, herbs and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with currants, black cherries, earth, oak, licorice, coffee, vegetables, peppercorn, black tea, graphite and bitter herbs.
Spicy finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Bordeaux is starting to drink nicely now, although still very young.
Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouth feel. Feels very true to the terroir.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up. Structure and complexity come in after 30 minutes of airtime.
This 2018 was a great vintage, and it is showing. Nice to see that this young Bordeaux is already approachable. Will age nicely in the next 7 years.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it meats and cheeses. Really nice with the aged Brie cheese.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Bottled 2 years after harvest.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$20.

Served at a dear friend's rehearsal dinner. Soft tannins and vibrant fruit. Uncomplicated and approachable. May the marriage be likewise.

Lovely with venison. Flavourful but not overpowering.

2012, The Shed, London. Decent but felt it was a bit too heavy for the grape mix
