Its a very dark flavor. I prefer when merlot is balanced with notes of vanilla and oak. Not for me, but I would not say it is a bad wine

Нос поначалу совсем не сильный- гвоздика, гарь, цветы. Но через часок аэрирования становится увереннее, появляется табак, шоколад и животинка, прямо-таки Вальполичела, правда, полегче и с тенденцией к сползанию в цветочное мыло.
Во вкусе гарь, шоколадка, внятная гвоздика, леденец из жжённого сахара. Опять же, с аэрироаанием заметно улучшается. Не водянистое, баланс хороший, в целом ОК.
Вердикт: дышать, дышать и дышать.

Extremely smoky. Extremely! Oaky?
Smoked sausage
Fruit on nose, plumy
Quite basic, but yummy

Slightly bitter undercurrents

Would be amazing with bbq ribs
