This is some absolutely beautiful Merlot right here. Bold and dark, cedar and pepper notes throughout. It's a blend of 76% Merlot, 13% Malbec, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon - aged 20 months in Hungarian Oak, and only 18 barrels produced. This is the last vintage of the merlot being sourced from the estate, due to the vineyards being ripped up to build the parking lot for the winery.
It's certainly a big wine that could use some age, but it'll turn out to be similar to some mature Pomerol or Fronsac.
