Good for 13 slightly advanced and custardy but didn’t feel like it was a fully pre-moxed wine. — 12 days ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark purple in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, light vegetables and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, pencil lead and earth.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Margaux. Elegant, complex and nicely balanced.

This second wine from Château Lascombes is rich and fruit forward. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux with a touch of New World.

I had the 2018 not too long ago and this one is drinking much better now. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels.

14% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40. — 21 days ago
