Atalon Merlot Mountain Estates 1998
Napa Valley, California, United StatesEnticing ripe blackberry, saddle leather nose spiced with black olive, pepper and plum aromas - almost more cabernet-like than merlot. Hot, ripe and round with slightly lean, hard tannins but not without some elegance. Spicy, olive, mint, cherry jam, peppery, clove vanilla flavours. Good for 1998 if not a bit alcoholic.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $75.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
