It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Soft nose of plums, cherries, earth, light oak, spices and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, red cherries, light oak, dark chocolates, earth, herbs and peppercorn.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a nice Merlot based blend from Bordeaux. Still showing enough fruits, but lacking the complexity and balance I expected from this 13 year old.
Still enjoyable by itself and better with food. Paired very nicely with the leg of lamb.
A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.
13% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$25.
