Candied citrus fruits and peaches on the nose, mineral notes that are still closed. Very concentrated on the palate, intense peaches, some apricots, extremely elegant acidity, mineral nuances on the palate, then also dried fruit and honey, great persistence and depth, constantly gaining in complexity with aeration, beguiling, still completely undeveloped, great length.
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
