Community Tasting Note
Odedis.Wine.reviews Likes this wine:
Thursday, November 19, 2020 - A very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose of red currants, plums, light oak, medicine, spices, licorice, peppercorn, herbs, vegetables and dark coffee.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long fat legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, spices, tobacco, earth, vegetables, wood, bitter herbs, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium finish with firm tannins (once it opens up) and tangy raspberries.
This is a very nice Merlot from Bordeaux. This 100% Merlot, not from a great vintage, is showing mild complexity with a grippy mouthfeel.
This 9 year old is drinking very nicely now, and will be good in the next 5 years.
Needed time to open up properly and show the tannins, but good right out of the bottle.
Wine Enthusiasts 89 points.
A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and dried meats.
