RKS 2024 Wine: Château Terre Blanque 2020

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, ,

A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from Blaye.

Aroma: It shouts out Merlot not lush and plush but clean and sharp. Full of cheerful cherry with lesser notes of blackberry and blueberry very high toned and alert and not sullied by an excess of oak.

Palate: Broad based tannins. Clean and sharp cherry with hints of blueberry. Moderately long finish.

Personality: I am an honest and simple wine of high quality. KISS i.e. keep it simply simple.

Food Match: Baked deseeded cherry tomatoes with charred asparagus with garlic and onions placed over fettucine topped with toasted walnuts.

Cellarbility: Drink or hold until 2030.

Price: $19 CDN (Ontario).

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 91/100. Decanter 91.

(Château Terre Blanque 2020, AC Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux, SCEA Terre Blanque, St Genes de Blaye, 750 mL, 14%).
