Lalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Lalande de Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing black and red fruits with tobacco, chocolates, coffee, oak, light vanilla, spices and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries.
This is a very enjoyable Merlot blend from Bordeaux. I've had different vintages of this wine, and it is very consistent.
This 11 year old needs 2 hours to open up properly, so be patient.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with grilled meats.
A blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc.
13% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$40.
