杜寶夫酒莊梅洛紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：5168

Here is a wine packed with light, fresh juicy red fruits. It has some dry tannins, flavors of herbs and a layer of acidity. This is a good wine for summer drinking.——R.V.(12/1/2004)—— 82

The medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Merlot (flower label) explodes from the glass with sweet black fruits and aromas reminiscent of a spicy jambolaya. This rich, plump, no holds-barred fruit bomb is medium-bodied and crammed with lush black cherries. What it lacks in nuance and complexity it makes up for in pure unadulterated pleasure. Having tasted hundreds of mediocre $20-$50 Merlots, it boggles my mind that this little gem goes for $6.50! Drink it over the next 18 months. Bravo! to Georges Duboeuf for this impressive line-up of wines, and for the fact that he has remained true to his goal of delivering high quality at consumer friendly prices.

Duboeuf's 1991 Merlot enjoys a sweet, expansive, medium-bodied palate, a fresh, berry-scented nose with a touch of herbs, and a crisp, fruity, soft finish. It should be consumed before Duboeuf releases his 1992s - in about twelve months.
