Very rich in color this Merlot is round, velvety,
seductive and very fruit forward. It has an aromatic nose of plum and black
cherries, with slighter cocoa, pepper, coffee and toasted sweet oak hints.
In the mouth this wine presents an excellent structure, strong fruit
flavors, a full concentrated palate with mature tannins. Long, pleasant and
elegant finish.
