Herbal entrance which soon is swapped to chocolate and wood which still has to integrate. It needs time to fully blossom but when it will, man, it’s gonna be so much fun. 97-98+ — 7 days ago

Il y a du volume, de l’ampleur, une certaine puissance avec, rapidement, un développement subtil vers l’amertume et le miel sauvage. — a month ago
It's time for some Merlot on this MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, light black pepper, herbs, light vanilla and licorice.
Tangy finish with soft tannins.
This 5-year-old Merlot from Napa Valley is peaking now, and drinking very nicely. Fruit forward with an elegant mouthfeel.
Wine Spectator 91 points.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good for parties. Good with food too.
