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

Very dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, black plums, chocolates, light cedar, earth, herbs, black coffee and licorice.

Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with plums, cooked cherries, currants, light cedar, herbs, chocolates, earth, coffee, light cola and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a beautiful Merlot from Saint Emilion. Elegant and rich. Spicy and entertaining.

Really enjoyed the nose. Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel.

Drinking beautifully now, but not at its peak yet. A great vintage from Saint Emilion, that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 to 20 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine.

Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine.

A blend of 83% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in (45% new) French oak barrels for 15 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Easy to drink on pop & pour for such a young Syrah.

Reminded me a bit of the Domaine Rostaing’s I’ve enjoyed. Ripe black cherry, crème de cassis, violets, lavender, pepper, stem inclusion, notes of roasted chestnuts, grilled meats, iron pan, spices, dark flowers, nice acidity with good balance and elegant finish. — 12 days ago

When I taste a wine like this my first reaction is why am I not drinking more Chablis. Opened and the race was on. The quintessential grand cru Chablis. Never stopped putting on weight and complexity . Plenty of life ahead — 25 days ago

2022 vintage. Not quite as integrated as the same vintage Meursault VV offering. This has more overt focus on citrus fruit currently. Feel like this wine just needs 6 months to tie up some loose ends and then it'll be a no-brainer. That citrus fruit will still feature, just not as prominently. 05.23.25. — 2 months ago
