Tonight is my 500th review here at Delectable and I have enjoyed each and every one. The wine I am reviewing tonight is the 2010 Clos de la Briderie Touraine Mesland Vieilles Vignes Rouge Blend from the Loire Valley. This blend is 40% Côt Noir (Malbec), 30% Cabernet Franc and 30% Gamay Noir.
On the nose there is good red fruit yet a little muted, raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, vanilla, mocha and dusty soil.
On the palate is a delicate elegance of the same red fruit, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, bell pepper, black pepper, spice and a ice minerality.
The wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouth feel, medium + acidity and medium to plus fine sandy tannins that moves right into a medium to long finish. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend just remember to be safe. Here is to the next 500. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
