Le nez prend un peu de temps à se placer, nez assez classique de rive-gauche par la suite, ne montre aucune fatigue, superbe texture, une finale longue et savoureuse, très beau. 92-93
The nose needs some air, the cork was wet with some aromas of wet cardboard at first but things got for the better after with no apparent defect and a classic left bank nose. Gorgeous balanced Cos, not the most powerful at this point but gracious, showing no fatigue also with a long delicious finish.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of fresh cherries, plums, currants, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates and black pepper.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, toast, licorice, chocolates, tobacco herbs, earth and light vinaigrette.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Merlot from Napa Valley. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and very complex.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.
This 12 year old Single Vineyard Merlot is nicely balanced and still drinking at its peak.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc.
14.6% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

One of the most genuinely delightful champagnes I’ve tasted in forever. Such great vim and vigor shown here. A deep, golden color in the glass with pleasant perlage. The nose is immediately charming with an abundance of crisp green apples and roasted nuts. Mild spices with red cherries for days along with the customary bread aromas.
If pure Meunier champagnes have no fans, then I am dead. As expected, Bereche offers one of the finest expressions of the grape. Electric and alive with just the right acidity and intense minerality running throughout. Very expressive with nice depth at this early stage in its life. The palate displays more brioche and apple notes. Almonds, cherries, and a slight touch of lemon zest. One of the most interesting wines I’ve had in a while and utterly delicious. — 2 months ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of Cedarwood, plums, dark berries, and a touch of baked spices. Very fresh and balanced, mature tannins that softened over 25 years. Wine is medium bodied with good length and ready to drink but no rush at all. One of the finest rive gauche wines we know and thats an excellent vintage. — 18 days ago
