TASTING NOTES
De Grendel Merlot 2009
If classic elegance is more your thing, look no further than our distinguished and elegant Merlot.
The industry considers the 2009 harvest as one of the best vintages in terms of quality on both red and white varieties.
It has a beautiful gem-like ruby colour with garnet flashing around the edges and first reveals a delicate all-sorts of berries – red, black and blue – followed by the alluring aroma of aniseed, cedar and liquorice which are all carried through on the palette.
A full bodied wine filled with a combination of different berries on the nose. Complex Christmas Cake flavors. Mulberry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit accompanied by liquorice and mocha flavors that carry through on the palate. Well supported by firm French oak tannins.
