This is the longest Twelve Nights in all the history of all Twelve Nights. Yeah I get it – I’m not prioritizing very well. New Year, New Me so resolving to finish this with a full report of results. Vial #9 and #10 were both a Médoc from the same vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France. This red blend is a combination of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. A Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot or Malbec can also be part of the blend when it comes to wines from this region. I did not really enjoy Vial #9, the 2012 year, as it just didn’t have much character. It had a hint of sawdust and really didn’t stand up to much. Vial #10, the 2010 year, had more character. It was earthy and had an essence of blackberry and cocoa. I did enjoy this wine. This experiment within the experiment demonstrates that there can be significant difference between years of wine. See…this is a learning environment.
A great blend of wine and wisdom
