Light flavor, yet very tannic. Taste like an older vintage. Slightly viney, some white pepper.

Deep purple red, with slight smoky fragrance. Currants initially, a bit thin and slightly sour aftertaste. I don't personally like merlot, and this tastes like an average merlot.

Mar 23, 2007Bogle Merlot, 2004

Red w/ nice texture. Weak nose w/ a bit of fruit cherry. Taste was livelier than i would have thought, slightly more acidic.

Would pari well w/ manchego cheese.

Bright red brown edges. Licorice, cherry, oak, tobacco. Spicy, young, tight, needs a few years.

Decant or let bottle age for 2-3 years before drinking.

Mar 23, 2007Bogle Merlot, 2004

Bright ruby, crimson. Not too oaky for a merlot. Spice, blackberry, acid. Cherry, too astringent. Too much tannin, bright fruit.

Somewhat boring. 2 dimensional, but drinkable nonetheless. Better as a food wine. Good with red meat/braised pork in tomatoes.

Major wine crytal clusters, he told me, were the first hint of a good taste to come. ...and hot damn, he was right! Delicious berry burst, with a nice aromatic mixture of woodsiness. Very smooth, just like my company for the evening! Cheers!
