Mine is a merlot. Smooth and satiny with plums and chocolate.

Solid merlot, dark and inky, slightly disjointed nose with alcohol overtones but tastes good with plum fruit and caramel/ toffee plus some slight burnt smokiness in the finish. Definitely fruity but a little dry.

Needed time to breath. Berry taste without being overwhelming with a slight oak finish.

Alive! Dark fruit and greenery. I really like a merlot on this style. Oh, and your teeth are going to get purple!
