Merlot
Lazio, Italy
It is time for some Merlot on this MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Ruby in color with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.
Really nice nose with lots of complexity, once it opens up.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and blue fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot From Lazio, Italy. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux. Easy drinking, but needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.
I had this vintage before, and it is drinking better now.
Enjoyed it with hard Italian cheeses and crackers.
100% Merlot grapes were aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
