2015 vintage. A very fine Castillon by Denis Durantou ( of Eglise-Clinet fame). Better the second day, so you might want to decant. Totally outperforming stablemate Les Cruzelles ( Lalande de Pomerol), tasted alongside. Good red fruit concentration, balancing the typical Castillon chalkiness. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.Abv. 14,5% — a year ago

Youthful that needs some air. This was rich, full bodied with notes of dark cherry, berry fruit, sweet savory spices, menthol, violet & tobacco — 3 months ago

Still somewhat tight and primary. A dense and masculine Pomerol. Needs more time. — 6 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, earth, vegetables and herbs.

Medium finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old from the great 2016 vintage is still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity.

Needed 3 hours in the decanter to open up.

Decanter 93 points.

100% Merlot grapes.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$12. — 3 years ago
