| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 19 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rbhan12 on 11/1/2021 & rated 88 points: Absolutely massive wine--too big for my tastes. PnP, bottle left open, aired out for a few hours.
Very strong nose. Definitely alcohol, but think of ripe red cherries, slightly medicinal, oaky milk chocolate. Palate is full-bodied, jammy red fruit, light acid, some eventually presents, and a good amount of glycerin giving the wine a smooth but thick texture. Finish is pretty hot, but mostly red fruit and hints of cinnamon and other baking spices, maybe even a touch of cola.
Overall, I thought this was unbalanced, overripe, and overtly alcoholic. Could be a party wine for people to get drunk, but I wouldn't consider this a serious wine. With respect to the size of this wine, there is no scenario in which I would have imagined this being Merlot.
Drink now--not for the cellar and certainly not intended to be. The fruit may quiet down, but this won't gain complexity.

(1549 views) | | | Tasted by RoyaltyCoins on 4/16/2019 & rated 89 points: Medium Ruby.
Nose: Candied black cherry, raspberry jam, deep brown sugar and vanilla. Full projection.
Mouth: Deep, pure black cherry seamlessly melded to a mid palate of milk chocolate and baking spice. Light acid leads into a short finish of fine tannin and light cinnamon.
Overall: Velvety and easy drinking, this is lush and well integrated with itself without ever becoming flabby. Leans rich in all - a crowdpleaser. 100% Merlot
89. (1515 views) | | | Tasted by Mads Eriksen on 12/11/2018 & rated 89 points: høj drinkabillity. Masser af frugt, masser af alkohol, men det passer fint sammen. (1635 views) | | | Tasted by SlimShaney on 11/30/2018 & rated 90 points: Fun and easy going (in a big Molly way). Not intellectual and not complex and not particularly merlot. (1677 views) | | | Tasted by SlimShaney on 8/19/2018 & rated 90 points: Tonnes of Molly fun even if a bit party trashy. 89 technically but added a point for fun. Rich but thin. Lush Molly merlot middle, soaked in vanilla steel oak, but thin finish with sugary acid.
What's the world's highest all merlot? At 15.5 (and I recall a higher alc year) must be Scooter. - just checked my notes - 2013 Scooter was 17.5%! More! More! More! (1401 views) |
