CHATEAU MOULIN DE LAVAUD - 2005

Lalande de Pomerol with 13% alcohol. 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc.

TASTING NOTES:

Ruby red color with aromas of green vegetables and chocolate. Medium bodied, extremely dry and tannic. Tart red fruit, mild vanilla oak, sour cherries, and cherry cough syrup on the finish.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

84 PTS

A very disappointing wine. Retails for around $19 making this is a pass but at any price I couldn't recommend it. Feels like it needs major decanting time but that didn't help. There was no improvement on the second day. Not terrible but blah and boring.
