Nose
Intense aromas of black fruits, with hints of cedar, tobacco, currant and vanilla.
Palate
In the mouth, the wine possesses tremendous intensity with mouth coating flavors of cherry and other dark dense fruit, dark chocolate and exotic spices. The powerful, yet elegant fruit, together with abundant velvety tannins, gives this wine its structure and rich multi-layered texture. This wine expands in the mouth for a long finish. Given its youthful character, the 2007 Merus will benefit from cellaring for at least four to six, and up to 20 years.
