Nose
Intense aromas of black cherries, layered with exotic spice, hints of
cinnamon, mocha, dark chocolate, cassis and blackberries.
Palate
In the mouth, the entry possesses tremendous intensity and
a massive palate impression. Mouth coating flavors with an abundance of dark cherry fruit on the opening followed by
dark dense fruit, dark chocolate and exotic spices 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 2006
Merus will benefit from cellaring for at least five to fifteen years.
