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

Deep ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and light vegetables.

Short finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This 11-year-old Merlot from Bordeaux is a little unbalanced, but drinkable nonetheless. Elegant and complex, but lost some of its fruits by now.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

I had this vintage 2 years ago and it is drinking a little better now.

A good food wine that I paired with pizza.

100% Merlot grapes from 70 year old vines, were aged in French oak barrels (70% new). A small production of only 9,000 bottles.

13% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$35 (current vintage). — 24 days ago

New grape for me, and new Broc for me. Love it! The nose is a bit green and underripe, but the fruit is amazing. Red currant, raspberry, black cherry, some strawberry, but damp and dark, then it turns dry. Great balance of fruitiness and dryness towards the end. Some tannins on the finish and subtly herbal, but not much. Pure dry fruit for quite a while. Comforting winter red. Lovely label. With pizza.

As with other Brocs, this doesn’t hold up so much on the second day. Drink fresh. — 2 months ago

PnP. Lovely purple color with red tones. Raspberries, mint, and eucalyptus on the nose. Fruit forward but somewhat muted on the palate. Medium depth and short finish. Nice! — 4 months ago

Crispy, tart, refreshing. Pears and stone fruit with a hint of minerality. Mouthwatering finish, I keep wanting more! This has everything I love about Riesling wines. I can't believe the price was so reasonable - I will keep an eye out for this one! — 3 months ago
