Nose

the 2014 Bosché Merlot expresses ripe black cherry, dark currant, and blackberry fruit components. With great depth of aroma and flavor, there are nuances of sweet oak spice, arugula, anise seed, sweet vanilla and dark chocolate.

Palate

The oak spice is very well integrated—not dominant, but it provides a substantial backbone to the complexity of the wine balancing the abundance of fruit depth.
