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

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, chocolates, light earth, spices, herbs, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with plums, cooked cherries, currants, cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, peppercorn, coffee and cola.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion in Bordeaux. Elegant and fruity, complex and smooth. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

This 2022 was a great vintage in the Right Bank, and it is definitely showing. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of mostly Merlot with Cabernet Franc.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Decanted, opened up nicely over the hour plus. Lean and taut to start, with fruit sneaking around to the front more as it opened. Need to find some more to age (lots of luck). — 8 years ago

2020. First time having a wine from Brulhois and I like it! Great hanging out with our friends that we’re staying with on first trip back to DC since moving back to NE, drinking wine and watching old punk rock videos on YouTube… — 18 days ago

1985 Coche-Dury Meursault 'La Casse-Tete'. Crazy rare wine. Didn't show super well, but was still a great pleasure to experience. — 11 years ago

A fun blind tasting with casse-croûte this morning. I guessed Pinot blanc! Very light and a little sugar made it a pretty nice pre-10am beverage. — 12 years ago
