Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

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

Deep ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.

Beautiful nose of black plums, black cherries, black currants, cedar, light vanilla, eucalyptus, tobacco, spices, black pepper, herbs and light cola.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, leather, light vanilla, herbs, tobacco, Indian spices, black pepper and light pencil lead.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This 15 year old is drinking beautifully right out of the bottle. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and soft.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 years.

So enjoyable by itself. Smooth and delicate. Rich, but not 'in your face' kind of wine. A gorgeous wine.

Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.

Stunning Bdx meets Napa. Incredible 😃

Still too young. Great nose, a little hot. Still have 2 left to enjoy years later.
