Medoc- flavor profile
|
black currant, red fruit )morello cherry, cherry, plum) and also violet (Merlot). If unripe grapes are used, it adds a more or less pronounced note of green peppers. Cask aging develops woody, roasted and spicy notes (oak, cedar, coffee, cocoa, vanilla, liquorice etc.), bottle aging adds animal and earth notes (game, leather, truffle), peppery notes in the Petit Verdot.
Medoc wines are high in tannins and can be rather unapproachable when too young. |
