Saturday night and we have opened the 2016 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel. The blend on this wine is 77% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot.
On the nose are beautiful dark fruits, black cherry, blackberry, stewed plum, black currant, baking spices, vanilla, graphite and dark earth.
On the palate I am noting the dark fruit of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper, bitter dark chocolate, graphite, a touch of oak and earthy minerality.
This wine is rich and full bodied and well balanced with medium + acidity that flows into an in your face medium + grippy tannins. I wish everyone a continued prosperous weekend, but please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
