Delicious! At 7 years of age this Merlot really shines. Lots of fruit but nicely balanced and smooth.

A little bit too fruity for my taste. It's obvious that the winery and winemaker are of quality, just not my style.

Color: slightly hazy, deep Mordant red and firebrick rim.
Nose: notes of tree fruit and berries, a pronounce touch of mint, hints of coffee and chocolate.
Palate: dry, full-bodied, moderately high acidity and medium round tannins. Balance: a little bit acidic.
Flavors: caramel, coffee, blackberries, cherries and a touch of clove. Finish is long.
A complex, little rustic, but delicious Merlot.
