2018 Chateau Sicot Bordeaux Superieur

From: Bordeaux, France Varietal: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon  Taste: Taste: It should be mentioned that 2018 was an excellent vintage (year) for Bordeaux, and this wine exemplifies the friendliness of the vintage exceedingly well. As soon as the wine hits the glass, you’ll find that it exudes amicable buoyancy with its red currant, cassis, and kirsch fruit, supple structure, and smooth tannins. You’ll also find notes of clove, sweet tobacco, and supple, worn leather in that glass that seamlessly transitions to the palate. Here, you’ll find added delight in the parallel nature of this wine: fruit on the nose, also tasted on the palate. As the wine opens, those fruit notes become buoyed by flavors and textures of plum skin and mushroom/umami.Pairing: Everyday Bordeaux reds are some of the best wines to pair with a range of dishes from everything from carnitas tacos to beef stew to homemade burgers and BBQ. For today’s pairing, we’re going to share a recipe by Alexa Weibel for Mushroom Pot
