Chateau Lalande D'Auvion Cru Bourgeois Médoc 2009, Bordeaux, France 

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. 

Ruby in color with a reddish rim. 

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, chocolates, black pepper, light earth, tobacco leaf, light vegetables, herbs, eucalyptus and black tea. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, currants, light wood, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, black tea, pencil lead, earth, herbs, mediterranean spices and peppercorn. 

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. 

This 17 year old Merlot blend is still showing enough fruits to balance the earth notes. 

What a nice surprise. I enjoyed it more than I expected. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and interesting. 

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. A good sipping wine. 

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. 

13% alcohol by volume. 

91 points.

Black cherry, pepper... not much else so far. Less interesting than their Gigondas. Tasty and that's it.

Gigondas by Camille Cayran (2022) - 4 ⭐

Violet-colored. Black currant, pepper, perfume. A slight hint of coffee.

Quite juicy for a 14.5% - tears just drip down.

Getting chocolaty later. Fresh herbs, dark berries....

#AgedWineTuesday 

Purple in color with medium plus intensity.

Nice nose of red fruits with red flowers, light wood, spices, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, light barnyard and dark chocolates. 

Medium plus in body with medium acidity. 

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and light forest floor. 

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. 

This 14 year old Pinot Noir from Burgundy is still drinking very nicely. Elegant, complex and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and smooth, spicy and entertaining. 

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. I paired it with pasta and Ragu sauce.

Chateau Canon la Gaffeliere Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2010, Bordeaux, France 

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

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, chocolates, toast, licorice, spices, earth, tobacco and herbs. 

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot based blend from Bordeaux. Rich and extracted. Nicely balanced and complex. 

This 16 year old is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. 

Wine Advocate 96 points. Wine Spectator 96 points. 

I've had the 2012 a few years ago, but this 2010 vintage is showing so much better. 

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. 

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. 

A blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 17 months in French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined. 

14.5% alcohol by volume.

A fresh and genuinely delicious bottle.
Juicy fruit flavors with a gentle, well-balanced acidity.
Easy to enjoy, yet leaves a pleasant, lingering finish.

Chateau de la Gardine Cuvée de Generations Gaston Phillipe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2012, Rhône, France 

#AgedWineTuesday. 

Dark ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 14 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich, but not extracted. Elegant with lots of chocolate notes. Well balanced with nice complexity.

Impressively fresh and youthful for its age, with good structure and balance. The high alcohol is well integrated by now. 

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. 

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A gorgeous wine to drink by itself or with food. 

A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre. Grapes from very old vines are aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months. 

15% alcohol by volume.

93 points. 

$100.
