Chateau Tour St.Joseph Cru Bourgeois Medoc Blend
Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Chateau Tour Saint Joseph Cru Bourgeois Haut Médoc 2012, Bordeaux, France
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, rhubarb, cooked cherries, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, black pepper and licorice.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, tobacco leaf, coffee, licorice, peppercorn, earth and herbs.
Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 13 year old Merlot based blend from Bordeaux is still drinking nicely, although will not last long. Easy drinking and complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime. I really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.
A good food wine that paired nicely with the charcuterie board.
A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25 (current vintage).
