A big Merlot. There are not many times you get the opportunity to say that.
When I say big I mean 15.3% big - from the cool climes of Orange no less. It comes across boisterous and flabby in part. Quite warm and spicy to taste, fruit sweetness with a shade of porty stuff going on.
I keep smelling and tasty asking myself, "Why?"
A wine I couldn't recommend for the $30 price tag.
