NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Merlot presents a captivating appearance with a deep, dark color in the glass.On the nose, it offers a bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and spice, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The palate shows a velvety texture and harmonious balance of fruit and oak. Dark fruit flavors dominate, including blackcurrants, black cherries, and a touch of blueberry. Oak aging enhances the complexity with notes of vanilla, cedar, and a hint of mocha.
Smooth and well-integrated tannins provide structure on the palate, while refreshing acidity adds brightness and ensures a long, lingering finish.
