Menuts Bordeaux

Menuts 2004 Bordeaux
(75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet, 10% Cabernet Franc)

On the Nose:

dusty dried blueberries, wet mud, mint, molasses, and a cherry cheesecake note (baked cherries, nutmeg, and graham)

On the Palate:
walnuts, nutmeg, molasses, anise, blackcurrant, and a touch of mint jelly.

She Says:

Over all a nice medium body, good tannins, pleasant nose, and interesting flavors. I am a Merlot fan, and the more wood and herbs I get out of it the better; this blend pretty much hits the notes I like. I love the earthy nuttiness and the dash of mint jelly at the end. I am not sure what I would serve this with to be honest because I really did did enjoy drinking it on its own. Perhaps lamb with mint jelly?
