It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red fruits with chocolate notes on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, coffee, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light black pepper, herbs and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 8 year old Merlot from Pomerol is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Elegant and fruity. Complex and entertaining.
Delicious right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. A great sipping wine, that will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in all new French oak barrels.
15% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
