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

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits with cedar, chocolates, coffee, light earth, herbs, tobacco and black pepper.

This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Complex and nicely balanced. Rich and spicy.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. A great vintage that is very giving at the moment.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

2018 vintage. 100% Merlot from this estate in Lalande de Fronsac, named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter. Another sexy Bordeaux value. Good concentration, ripe fruit, ripe tannin and good acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish prevents it from a higher score, but very good value at less than 10 euros. — 5 years ago

Delightful Rhône red blend. Medium body with soft tannins and exuberant fruit that flows over the palate. K&L has this beauty @ $12. versatile and able to age 5+ years. — 5 years ago

Got some teeth on it. Very pleasant fruit, red and blue. Chalky tannins. Inexpensive and just fine to drink now.

An easy everyday Bordeaux as it’s affordable. Very fruit forward with spice but finish is lacking. — 5 years ago
