Château Taillefer
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage. Mainly Merlot (92%) with Cabernet Franc. Finding good Pomerol under 30 euro a bottle isn't an easy task, but this is a good example. Seductive nose after 15 minutes in the glass with strawberry jam,flowers and subtle spices. The high alcohol (15% abv.) is well integrated. Smooth and round, without the complexity of the best, but a pleasure to drink and good value indeed. 52000 bottles produced with a yield of 39 HL/ hectare. Aged 12 months in oak barrels, 49% new. Mechanical harvest with manual sorting. Claire Moueix is in charge since 2013. Abv. 15.%

Happy Birthday to myself. ;-)
Needs lots of air, but then your typical pomerol cherry based, cedar, pencil. Full flavours, with soft tanine. Might go another few years in the cellar for ripping. But very quafable, as my good friend Peter would say.
