My Notes:

Merlot is not my favourite grape, but this Reserva was a slightly better match. It’s a bold wine with oaky notes like tobacco in the nose. Further a bouquet of dark fruits like plum and blackberry. Other notes that comes forward are cherry and vanilla. The wine is dry in the mouth, soft on acidity and medium short on the finish. For me a 3.0 Grape Dummies Score. Enjoy!
