Clos Fourtet 'La Closerie de Fourtet' St. Émilion Grand Cru 2015 Bordeaux Red Wine

Clos Fourtet 'La Closerie de Fourtet' St. Émilion Grand Cru 2015 Bordeaux Red Wine,
$28.89-$33.99, 94 points, poured the familiar Toyota sienna color with a broad transparent rim ring and glass wall raining with dense stained legs.
First pour wafted of redolent and profuse grape smells evolving into earthy black cherry with a floral vibe.
Possessing a not quite full body, the luscious mouth-feel impressed; showing a balanced intensity of acids with a very drinkable matrix of tannin embraced the floral and cherry fruit flavor rendition of the aromas.
Finished long on bright red fruit, eucalyptus, accelerating pepper spices, and a perfect 13.5% alcohol.
Varietals were 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Though no chef am I, I found this Merlot to pair better with poultry over beef or pork (let me know what you think).
