Lovely Merlot, a gold medal winner in best Merlot championship :-) described as one of the best Merlot Brazil has to offer, many expectations, delivering :-)

bought in São Paulo by me ;-) lovely Ruby color with Braun reams, expressive nose, full of black cherries, black current, licorice, a hint of sweet spices and cedar wood, full body, rich robust and round, with soft caressing round tannins and light acidity. A long chewy rich fruity finish. My score 90, drink now as it is at its peak.

Medium deep ruby core , medium wide pale ruby rim. Touch of wood spice , dark blackberry , dark plum , touch or coffee and cocoa . Quite rich and ripe on the palate but with quite firm tannins , ok acidity . Blackberry , cassis , ripe plum. Touch of oak on the finish , and quite a punch from the alcohol. Ok medium length, quite firm tannins , blackberry , cocoa finish . Needs time , will improve for 5 to 10 years , and last another 10 .
