Chateau du Quint Lalande de Pomerol Bordeaux
Winery: Chateau du Quint Year: 2002 Type: Red Country: France (Pomerol) Grape Variety: 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc Note: Alcohol: 12.5% Mevushal: No Date Reviewed: 5/19/06
Color: 2.5 (of 3) Note: A deep, dark garnet. Very elegant. A bit of orange at the edges as it ages quite well already.
Aroma: 6 (of 7) Note: Rich and delicious scents of cherry, oak, currants and leather. Nicely done.
Taste: 8.5 (of 10) Note: It's a medium-bodied bordeaux with nice cherry, blackberry, oak and tea flavors. It has a nice dry finish. It's not an overly strong flavor (some people think it's a little weak) but it grows on you. The only downfall here is that there isn't more flavor because what flavor it has is very nice.
Total: 17 (of 20)
Food: I had it with a wonderful sesame chicken dish my wife, Linda, is famous for, along with wild rice and snow peas. I wouldn't normally try a Bordeaux with a chicken dish but this one is lively enough to handle it quite well.
