Charles Krug Napa Valley 2016 Merlot, $17.84-$24.99 (same price as three years ago), 91 points, poured a deep ruby red with a broad clear meniscus and copious stained and hanging legs.
Aromatic with black-grape, plums, loam with hints of clove, cinnamon, and lavender (restrained, but quite lovely).
Full-bodied round red wine with good acidity, robust tannins, and rich flavors reflective of the aromas with a touch of spearmint and fennel.
Finished long with a fair amount of spiced-infused alcohol (15%) and anise.
Paired perfectly with my spice-rubbed tenderloin.

This was a great value red wine with a high QPR.

I love a good Merlot and this sounds like a nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out :) And I like the camera, and lens, getting in on the action.
First day was great, but it had a serious second day decline, but still tasty.
