Taltarni Three Monks Cabernet Merlot 2005
Bordeaux Red Blends
from Victoria, Australia
winemaker's notes:
Three Monks 2005 characterizes Taltarni's distinctive style of opulent flavors, structure and cellaring ability.
Deep black cherry in color.
The nose holds an alluring assortment of uplifted black cherries, dark
berry fruits, scorched almonds, coffee, tobacco leaves and licorice
allsorts.
On the palate, this is a well-structured wine with layers of plump plum and
blackberry fruits combined with a mix of savory spices, subtle
herbs and firm, dusty tannins.
The explosion of rich fruit flavors in Taltarni's
Three Monks 2005 makes it ideal for immediate enjoyment, although it also offers the complexity and structure
to age gracefully. A perfect accompaniment to a veal ragout.
