Tasting- Lindeman's Bin 80 Carbernet Merlot

Name: Lindeman's Bin 80
Variety: 50-50 Blend, Carbernet-Merlot
Region: Southeastern
Country: Australia
Year: 2015
Price: $18

Winery Review: "Medium red in color with ruby hues. On the nose aromas of dark red berries, blackcurrants and ripe plums; while the palate is  medium bodied, with dark red berries and a soft tannic finish."

My Review: First thing that comes to my mind when smelling this is smokey cheese, maybe even Gouda. Very dark, warm, smokey flavor. Slightly dry.

Paired with food: No, I liked this one but I don't think I could finish a magnum bottle. Challenge accepted because I bought it! No regrets, get the bottle.
