Merlot has expansive fruit flavours and rounded tannins, with an apparent softness that enables the wines to reach their peak rapidly. Deep crimson with a slight carmine tint. The nose opens on ripe red and black fruit aromas, such as wild strawberry, bilberry and blackberry, along with herby, garrigue notes. The fruit aromas fill out with airing, joined by notes of stewed plum. From a supple and full-bodied attack on expressive fruit notes reminiscent of those found on the nose, the mid-palate shows roundness and stewed red fruit flavours, especially stewed cherry, leading into a rich and complex finish. White meat, tenderloin steak, grilled flank steak, cheeses.
