Note di degustazione
The 2014 Merlot Amuse Bouche (there’s 8% Cabernet Franc) is the Pomerol look alike in the portfolio and it's a ripe, sexy, elegant beauty loaded with notions of plums, blueberries, brambly spice and hints of leafy herbs/tobacco. Ripe, rounded and undeniably sexy on the palate, with sweet tannin, it's already hard to resist, yet should keep for 10-15 years.

The 2014 Proprietary Red Amuse Bouche, the flagship wine is a blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. This is a stylish, rich, complex wine showing how serious Merlot can be when handled properly. Dense ruby/purple with loads of black cherry and blackberry fruit, a medium to full body and soft, supple tannins, the wine is pure with a multilayered mouthfeel. This is rich and authoritative, but at the same time elegant and complex. It is already drinking well and should continue to do so for at least 10-15 more years.
The 2014 Amuse Bouche, the flagship Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend, is absolutely delicious. Dark cherry, mocha, spice and leather open up nicely in the glass. Fleshy, supple and radiant, with silky tannins underpinning the fruit, the 2014 has a lot to offer, even in the early going. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.
With such beautiful definition and balance, this may be the best ever from Amuse. Medium to full body, a wonderful linear backbone, superb length and a lovely, fresh finish. Drink now. Mostly merlot.
