Community Tasting Note

COLOR: Deep, opaque purple
NOTE: What a blessing. This bottle just gave and gave, thanks to Russell/Victoria first, then thanks to my beloved Coravin. This Merlot is almost identical to the 2006 Buccella Merlot. Deep, dark and voluptuous. This is not your mama's Merlot. It stains your teeth and slaps your tonsils. Beautiful from nose to finish. Sad this was my only bottle, but glad I had three opportunities to taste it. And Coravin made that possible. Wish I owned shares.

DECANT: 1-2 hours
GLASS USED: Bordeaux
TASTE: 9.4
COST: 92
VALUE: 8.0
TRY AGAIN: now - 2016
CORAVIN'D: Twice since Oct 2014, then finished this off tonight
PRE-POUR LEVEL: 40%
PAIRING:
