It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates and light black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and light earth.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Soft and elegant. Well balanced and rich. Spicy, and showing nice finesse.
This 8 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. A Merlot for the Cabernet Sauvignon lover.
A great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

What beautiful wine. The secondary fruit notes are coming through, some dried fruit, more body. This is still an insanely austere wine. Sea shells, lemons, apples, chamomile, flowers, more apples, orange blossom. It’s just so much better with the fruit tasting older. So glad I experienced this over a few years to see how champagne evolves. 2015 harvest, disgorged jun 2019, no dosage. — 8 months ago

The description: Fleur d’Eglantine gets its name from its acidulous freshness and its luminous colour, reminiscent of the petals of the wild roses that surround our vinyards. It’s a delicate rosé, airy and acidic, which unites floral aromas and crunchy red berries. Grape Grenache mixed with Mourvèdre and a dash of Syrah
The opinion: Superb really good value drinking. Great depth and texture for the price. Off to buy some more. — 3 months ago
