It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
Purple /reddish in color with a wide reddish rim.
Showing a beautiful nose that takes me to Bordeaux.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing black plums, cherries, light oak, tobacco, licorice, light vanilla, peppercorn, espresso, light earth, chocolates and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Bolgheri. Drinks like a Right Bank Bordeaux. Fruit forward, Interesting and rich.
Well balanced and elegant. Easy drinking with a nice mouthfeel.
Still young, but already delicious. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good by itself or with food.
100% Merlot grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 14 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$50. — 8 days ago
This wine will evolve into one of the best Brunello di Montalcino’s, just spin a bit too tight at this moment to show off the exceptional aromatics and structure. Dried red and white rose petals, English breakfast tea, charred plum, Cohiba cigar. — a month ago

Ruby in color with a wide brown/ brick rim.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, bitter herbs and peppercorn.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 14 year old Brunello lost a lot of its fruits at this point. Soft and elegant. Earthy and better with food.
I paired it with a prosciutto and arugula pizza.
