Atalon Merlot 1999
Napa Valley, California, United StatesLovely sweet nose with spicy clove, pepper, black cherry jam, mint and orange peel aromas. Substantial but smooth, round tannins preview a wealth of rich, warm, mocha, cherry, clove, pepper earth flavours. It's quite intense with big structure and will need a few years to develop. A big, fat style. Very Napa. Should have wide appeal.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $49.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
