Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Bright Ruby red color with aromas of red berry fruits, sweet spice, tea and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with spice, licorice and floral notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral spice and slight earthy mineral character. Good value! — 22 days ago

First bottle was little orange, and over the top. Bottle 2 was greenish yellow with exact the style we love. So thumbs up for the last bottle. — 2 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick rim.

Great nose with over ripen red fruits, forest floor and earth notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cooked cherries, dried fruits, light wood, prunes, cola, chocolates, spices, herbs and vegetables.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 30 year old Merlot is still drinking nicely. Not at its peak anymore, but very tasty nonetheless. Elegant with some fruits left. Complex and interesting.

I've had a recent vintage not too long ago that was drinking better, although I did love the complexity here, especially on the nose.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

The ‘21 disgorgement if memory serves (which it might not considering how much wine was had this night). Superb, elegant, chalky, citrus and pit fruit, floral notes — a month ago

A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016. — 2 months ago
