I came across some wine tasting notes and guess what popped out at me? Pipe tobacco.
Bogle’s 2006 Merlot is another great example of the soft and silky wine that this varietal can be. Concentrated aromas of earthy spice and summer cherries surround the senses, while the first pleasant sip is a delightful wave of fresh red fruit and soft garden herbs. Mere hints of pipe tobacco and spicy oak lend depth to the finish, reinforced by firm, assertive tannins.
How do you like them apples? All I could ever taste when I tried wine was wine. I wonder what kind of pipe tobacco this person tasted. Was it latakia? Viginia? Oriental? Burley?
