This Domaine Bousquet Merlot has an attractive ruby color.The nose exhibits notes of ripe plum and blackberry aromas, with hints of anise and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is ample, full-bodied and fleshy, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and a floral lift, balanced by smooth tannins and a pleasing finish. Whilst this wine is not overly complex, it shows good varietal typicity and fruit definition.
