2013 Delectus Merlot
Community Tasting Note
Wwinowillie Likes this wine:
Saturday, December 12, 2020 - Burnt ruby edges
Nose: mature dark fruits, blackberry and blueberry jam, old leather, Boisenberry,
Very nice light milky body and a dry tobacco cigar finish that has a bit of spice to it with a very dark chocolate ending that leaves you kinda chewing on it. Pretty earthy, wet minerals and old toasted wood that you are left kind of chewing on.
Tannin is very much still there and not subtle at all. There is also a distinct red fruit influence like green strawberry and tart cherry at the front.
Burnt toast mixed berry jam.
This is after 40 min decant I’m gonna go hit some golf balls and see if we can get something different when it has more time to open.
Not too much different just softened the edges a bit. A little more mint.
It is a good merlot, but idk if I want it again for this price
