NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This L'Ecole No 41 Merlot is a deeply concentrated wine with a dense core of dark berry fruits, firm tannins, and a hint of oak.On the nose, aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate mingle with hints of graphite, tobacco, and earthy spice. On the palate, a velvet-like texture carries flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and cedar. The finish is long and smooth, with soft tannins and a hint of oak.
