Un merlot rond, fruité, équilibré.
Délice.

Very dark deep purple-red. On the nose: liquorice, back cherries, hint of tar. Medium bodied, some tannins still providing backbone; lacking something in the middle palate, dry black fruit. OK length.

In a good place now, tannins are smooth. Benefits from an hour of decanting. Great value. Drink or hold for a few years.

Beautiful color, full bodied red. Fantastic nose, lots of everything from dark fruits to notes of cocoa and leather to vanilla. I’m loving merlot based wines right now and this is a great one. The taste has dark fruits, nice berry taste. It feels rich and has a nice aftertaste. Needs food though as it is heavy. Good now but I suspect it could get even better over time. 91 with upside.
