Sexiness coming back to Merlot. Smooth, well rounded. Fruity, yet nice tannins drying out the palate.

Why does 3.0L format always taste so good?

Nice smoky scent. Even more smokiness on the palate. A hint of spice in the follow through, bold for a merlot. Nice boldness. Needs a strong pairing. A tart finish.

Good value. Mildly acidic, stays on your tongue, oaky, peppery? Definitely have it again.
