It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Nice nose with red and black fruits, light oak, tobacco leaf, light mildew, cola and dark coffee.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth, vegetables, forest floor and black pepper.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 27 year old is still drinking very nicely, although definitely not at its peak anymore. Complex and engaging.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
I Had this same vintage a little while ago, and this bottle drinks much better. At this age, the condition of the specific bottle is very imperative.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Always nice to drink these kind of old wines.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$250.
