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

Very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates and light black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and light earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Soft and elegant. Well balanced and rich. Spicy, and showing nice finesse.

This 8 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. A Merlot for the Cabernet Sauvignon lover.

A great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

1999 vintage. Opened with a Durand. Cork in great shape and approx 35% saturated. Not decanted. Tasted after one hour open. Wowza. Most excellent, full nose. Medium body + with great, full color. Sous bois, smoked meats, carmelized cranberry impressions running the savory festival currently in residence. Personally, could only wish for a touch more astringency/tannins but, otherwise, completely phenomenal. At the absolute apex/top of the bell curve now and for the next 5-7 years. Have had some decent Roty efforts over the years but this one takes the cake along with the accompanying plates and silver. Do cork dorks dream of electric red Burgundy? Hafta say "Yes." 2.27.26. — 3 months ago

Banger. 07 Charmes, from 100+ year old vines right across from Chambertin, is a fabulous rendition in this vintage, seductive and complex wafting a dark fruited and gamey bouquet laced with violets and black tea. The palate is superbly concentrated, detailed and impeccably balanced with a finish that keeps on going. A particularly youthful ‘07 Grand Cru red burg. Long life ahead! — 2 months ago

Plummy color tinged with tan, nose of woodsy mushroom, brown bread turned earth. Strong entry of cherry bursting through earth and cedar root. Chewy tannins show this very much alive and brimming with secret power! So good, so nice!
