Tasting - Chateau Vieux Duche Lalande de Pomerol

Name: Chateau Vieux Duche Lalande de Pomerol
Variety: 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2009
Price: $19.95

Winery Review: Aromas of black fruits, smoked meats, coffee and mocha characteristics with a medium full palate impression and lengthy, superb finish. Tannins are subdued and round, evident upon opening, but dissipate with a short time in the glass. Excellent typicity of the 'little" appellation next to Pomerol.

My Review: The nose of this wine reminded me of a trip to Starbucks, with an intense aroma of coffee mixed with alcohol.  Additionally, the taste was impressive with cherries apparent.  At the Vintage Cellar, we tasted this wine with a Manchego cheese, which was fantastic!  It really added a lot to the taste of the wine, giving it a more creamy finish.

I tasted this Manchego cheese.
