Definite Old World techniques redolent of Bordeaux. Dark berry but medium body and could pair with nearly everything.

We got lucky and Victor cracked this open for us to try at the Vienna Vintner. Wine was dark crimson red with brownish edges. Lots of dark fruits on the nose. Dark berries on the palate, smooth and velvety. Moderate tannins (7/10) and moderate body. Definitely has the structure of a Napa Bordeaux varietal (strong and thick) and moderate plus finish.

Fittingly consumed during Euro 2020 final - tasty beginning but the real enjoyment was 90 mins later. Chocolate covered blueberry flavors with some tobacco and red licorice aromas.

Been years since I've had a Merlot after too many bad experiences. This one might make try a few more. A lot going on on the nose and on the tongue!
