Note di degustazione
Deep in color, the wine offers licorice, smoke, espresso, jam, black cherry and wet earth. Full-bodied, fleshy soft, round and forward, the texture is soft, the fruits are ripe and you find chocolate-covered red fruits in the finish. This is a nice first effort. From the owners of Couvent des Jacobins, this is a parcel selection of old vine Merlot planted in 1961. The wine is micro-vinified, meaning that the wine was fermented and aged in 35% new, French oak barrels ranging in size from 600 liters to 225 barrels. The production is under 250 cases. This is debut vintage.

Wonderful nose of dark berries, walnuts and dark tea, which follows through to a full body. Chewy and powerful tannins and a long, flavorful finish. A little old school with the high extraction but should come around nicely. Drink in 2021.
