It’s time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
A pretty nose of blueberries, black plums, stewed cherries, light cedar, wildflowers, chocolates, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, and black pepper.
Medium-plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Very dry on the palate with plums, cherries, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, earth, black tea, tobacco leaf, herbs, and peppercorn.
Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This six-year-old Merlot from Bordeaux is drinking very nicely now. Tangy and spicy. Interesting and complex. Soft and smooth.
I had this vintage 4 years ago, and it is drinking even better now. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Needs an hour in the decanter to open up, but improves significantly after 2 hours.
A very typical Right Bank Bordeaux. Easy to drink and enjoyable by itself or with food.
Forest flowers on the nose with a slight basement mustiness. Well balanced from nose to finish. It coats your mouth and fills the palate with barrel dryness balanced with full plums and vine delight. I love the everlasting tannins. — 12 years ago
