Review: "Perfumed berry aromas offer an initial sense of sweet fruit, followed by more savory tones of tobacco leaf and dried herbs. Complex in the mouth, a melange of cherry, plum, and black raspberry flavors make up the fruity core, while accents of tobacco, cedar, and a subtle sense of dusty earth add depth. Fresh acidity and finely balanced tannins give a good frame and force to the flavors, with subtle oak spice in the background. The elegant finish is long. A cellar candidate, or enjoy now with a grilled T-bone steak."
My Review: First smelled of petrol and sweet berries. Good initial impression. At first taste, it was smooth and earthy with a bitter aftertaste. Overall, not my favorite but Merlot varieties have never clicked with me.
I drank this wine without food.
