This is an incredible Sauvignon Blanc. It comes from France and can easily compete with any S.B from New Zealand. If you are a S. B lover like I am, give it a try. You won’t regret it. — 9 months ago
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose of blue and black fruits with light wood, spices, licorice, light earth, vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, earth and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and peppercorn.
This 7 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Complex and interesting.
I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except that the nose has become noticeably prettier.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly so be patient.
Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with grilled picanha.
A blend of 71% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Nice dark color.
NOSE: dense cassis, blackberry, a bit of chalky minerals, a little cedar and spice, also some graphite. Restrained, but yum.
TASTE: too young, but good. Cassis, minerals, raspberry leaf, tannins remind me of bitter olives. A little lighter than I expected, but really quite good. Would love to try again in a few years. 92.
