Infanticide! That’s a huge wine! Incredibly intense with gobs of fruit and spices. — 24 days ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Purple in color with a purplish rim.

Very aromatic nose of blue fruits and sweet cherries.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, light earth, herbs and spices.

Tangy finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This is a very tasty Merlot. A very unique wine from Bolgheri, Italy. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Nice to see such low alcohol from this region.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Sangiovese.
Aged in ceramic vats for 8 months.

13% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Pink peppercorn, unexpectedly heavy for rose. Leaving expectations? Lovely with shrimp and duck salad. I’m happy I stocked up — 3 years ago

Medium deep ruby with garnet rim . Freshly cut herbs like sage and rosemary with cedar , plum and dark cherry , liquorice . On the palate quite dense but with fresh acidity and firm slightly dry tannins . More of the plum and dark spiced cherry , blackberry, herbal and liquorice touches on the reasonable length finish . Drinking well now though will continue to show well over the next 5 years . Slightly under the radar with good personality and surprising freshness . — 10 months ago
