Dark and brooding in a good way. Deep purple still at 10 years. Dark berries and cassis on palate. Wonderful balance.

Wow after trying Aubert Chard this Merlot has massive amounts of bright fruits, soft tannins which open up impressively and quickly. Wow !! Great finisher to a family weekend. CB 95+!

Simply one of my favorite Merlots. Dark color with nice fruit aromas. Nice balance of dark chocolate, blackberry, with a hint of cherries at the finish.

This is a Cabernet drinker’s Merlot! Pleasant bouquet with oak and red fruit - good tannic structure complements the natural softness of the cassis, bing cherry, and a hint of chocolate on the palette. A real winner!!

This is one of my very favorite Merlots. Packed with flavors of mixed berries and milk chocolate.

(18/20) Насыщенный, сложный аромат спелых малины и сливы с нотами йогурта и баттерскотча. Высокая кислотность, мягкие танины и концентрированный вкус. Долгое послевкусие. Прекрасно!

Wonderful rich intense flavor with beautiful dark color and full texture. Bottega staff recommend, and it was absolutely amazing...decanted due to the young vintage.
