Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:

Round, velvety and mouthfilling, this is a satisfying Merlot at a bargain price. Aromas of black cherries and herbs fold in hints of cinnamon and mocha, while the flavors are generally fruity, but with a slightly tomatoey note. Soft on the finish. Drink now.


Personal Tasting Notes: 

For this wine I definitely tasted mocha and chocolate flavors. Additionally, I tasted a woodiness and a nutty flavor.  This wine had chocolate and cinnamon aromas in the bouquet.  I also detected an acidic and petrol like flavor.  The odd thing about this wine was that it caused there to be a very tacky mouth feel and a smooth but long finish.This wine was tasted without food.
