It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back! Very dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Fruity nose of black currants, black plums, chocolates, light cedar, earth, herbs, black coffee and licorice. Full-bodied and elegant, with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate and fruit forward with plums, cooked cherries, currants, light cedar, herbs, chocolates, earth, coffee, light cola and black pepper. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This is a beautiful Merlot from Saint Emilion. Elegant and rich. Spicy and entertaining. Really enjoyed the nose. Complex and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Drinking beautifully now, but not at its peak yet. A great vintage from Saint Emilion, that will continue to age nicely in the next 15 to 20 years. Has good potential to become a 95+ point wine. Good by itself or with food, and a great sipping wine. A blend of 83% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Aged in (45% new) French oak barrels for 15 months. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 93 points. $50 (current vintage).

2015 vintage. Tasting better every time. The truffles starting to show in the very attractive nose, loaded with raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and delicate cedar wood. In the mouth it is a beautifully balanced, classic Saint-Emilion, that always remained true to its style. Having experience with older vintages, this should drink wonderfully over the next 30 years if well-stored. A terrific, totally underrated Grand Cru Classé. Abv. 14,5%.

2015 vintage. 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 4 % Petit verdot. Only the second vintage with Petit Verdot in the blend from a plot planted in 2011. Classic old school Saint-Emilion, build to age. Don't expect a flashy wine, but an understated balanced gentleman.

A fun discovery. We really liked this one. Robust berries, tannins were at Bay as this improved withe some breathing.

Beautiful expression of fruit. There’s a velvet and plushness to the fruit. This year petit vendor was added and that made the wine more rounded. Drink now and enjoy it or wait five years and be rewarded
