2012 ... decanted this 2 hours and couldn't be more pleased... Currant, white pepper, berry forward with a smooth finish. Great deal.

Picked this up for $12.99 at my local wine store, and I'm very satisfied. This just proves you don't have to always go with big names in the right bank. Honestly, this Lalande de Pomerol is straight up sexy and alluring. Color is a deep red ruby color with medium plus intensity. While pouring into the decanter, the color hypnotizes you into a wine dream. On the nose, it's medium-minus intensity makes you get up close and personal. Upon first sniff, I picked up black currants, tart cherries, cranberries, and violets. After taking my first sip, all those fruit aromas went away and I was left with more earthy and oaky notes. The French oak puts notes of cedar, clay, and smoke into the palate. I was surprised with the medium-plus acidity and woody tannins because of it being a right bank Bordeaux blend. Complexity came out after about 2 hours of just hanging out in the decanter. I highly recommend doing this. It was a stiff bitch before that. The tannins mellowed out and the heavy cedar notes became more subtle and balanced. Overall, what a good wine! The price doesn't hurt either! Cheers!

Home with Emily. Having spicy lamb sausage Mediterranean dish. Recommendation from Dean at Rouge & Blanc. Light, well-balanced, paired well with meal. I could have drunk this all night.
