Enclos de Viaud (Lalande de Pomerol)
Medium-bodied, round, soft, lush and floral, with sweet black cherries, licorice, dark cocoa and plummy characteristics, if you enjoy exuberant, youthful fruit, you can already enjoy this wine. If you are seeking more softness and secondary characteristics, give it just a few years in the cellar for more development. 3,263 Views Tasted Jul 18, 2020 |
When to Drink Enclos de Viaud, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Enclos de Viaud is better with at least 2-3 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for up to 1 hour or so if desired. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Enclos de Viaud offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 3-10 years of age after the vintage.
Serving and Decanting Enclos de Viaud with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
