Still a baby, the 2002 Merlot already offers rich red fruit in the mouth - cherries, plums, strawberries, and currants - complemented by notes of cassis, licorice, leather, and a hint of green tea. The mouthfeel is full and structured, yet never loses the suppleness that is Merlot's hallmark. read more...
