Hints of vanilla aroma, 2011 is smooth and refined on palate — 2 months ago
Blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, aged for 12 months in French oak (30% new), deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits with nutty toasty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum, with smoky notes, oak and spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and nutty earthy oak. Good now! — a month ago
Any of you ever had this? I've never had a bottle from this producer. The nose screamed Sangiovese at me! But it does taste like Bordeaux. Fruity, a little bitter, but doing well at 10 years. I think it's peaked.

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Very fresh nose of cherries, plums, light oak, licorice, spices, herbs, chocolates, tobacco, earth and minerals.
Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, black plums, fresh cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, black tea, dark coffee, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and engaging. Elegant and fruit forward with a silky soft mouthfeel.
This 8 year old Merlot is still young, but already drinking beautifully.,and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced and spicy. Loved smelling on it for a while.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
A blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (56% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

The nose on this is stunning. Big and black fruit with a dollop of tar. The pallete follows the nose with blackberries, plum, dusty rock, and dark soil. An enjoyable balance of fruit and earth. Steak wine! This is excellent.
