It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color, almost Inky, with a wide reddish/brick rim.
On the nose sweet cherries, raspberries, plums, black currants, tobacco leaf, light cedar, licorice, eucalyptus, black pepper, vegetables, black tea, herbs, Indian spices and lights acetone.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, light vegetables, earth, light forest floor, black tea and peppercorn.
Medium minus in length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 6 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is still drinking nicely, but will not get any better from this point on.
Showing nice complexity at this point. Elegant and good right out of the bottle. Feels fresh on the palate, but the nose shows more age.
I gave it an hour in the decanter to open up. Lots of herb notes show up as it opens up.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
Delivers far more than you may ask for from such a humble estate and appellation. Kirsch, tobacco, clay. That typical scent of wet soil after a few weeks of sunshine. Great length. This was an orphan. Wish I had more bottles in my cellar! — 11 years ago
