A delicious Merlot from Bordeaux.
Elegant and robust with a very nice nose.
Showing red and black fruits with big tannins on the finish.
Great vintage and feels very young. Needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.
100% Merlot grapes were aged in new French oak barrels.

Aug 28th, 2017100% Merlot from Chateau Reignac. Muscular red fruit, spices, medium tannins. Could still use some years.

Oct 4th, 2016I'm not sure what the hoo-ha is all about with this one. Decanted for three hours. Nose is big. On the palette, this inky, sediment-filled juice brings vibrant acidity and gripping tannins and much more dark fruit than you expect from either Bordeaux or a merlot. Intense licorice notes lead the finish, which for some (including me) will disappoint. There is something tar-like about this wine.
