Chateau du Tailhas Pomerol 2008, Bordeaux, France It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back! Dark ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim. Pretty nose of red and black fruits with light wood, herbs, light chocolates, earth, coffee and black pepper. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, dark chocolates and black tea. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This is a delicious Merlot from Pomerol. Well balanced and complex. Tangy and tasty. Rich and elegant, with enough fruits to compliment the earth notes. Spicy and entertaining. This 18 year old is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I've had a few vintages of this wine, and it is much better with age. A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food. A blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in (50% new) French oak barrels. 13% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $80.

Chateau La Fleur Ferrand Cuvée Réservée Pomerol 2017, 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. Fruity nose of red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates and tobacco. Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth and herbs. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

A trio of nice dinner wines from yesterday evening; Clos des Goisses LV 2000 exceptionally fine, a nicely evolved 1982 Pape-Clément, and a firm showing from the 1982 Vieux Château Cloquet. #philipponnat #closdesgoisses #papeclement #pomerol #bordeaux #champagne #wine
Took a 1978 Pomerol to the Paulée d’Anjou last night. While magnums of minerally Chenin and schisty Cab Franc did the rounds, this delicious little Pomerol proved strangely popular. Once we managed to remove the cork, anyway. #pauleedanjou #pomerol #bordeaux #wine
