Arboleda Merlot 2000
Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileRich spicy sweet vanilla oak nose followed by sweaty leather scents. Spicy vanilla plum fruit fills the mouth before finishing with smoky oak and slightly dry tannins. Taut acidity. Will need twp to three years to settle down. Most of the fruit comes off the La Arboleda estate and after fermentation it spends 12 months in French and American oak.Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.95 | 750ml | Private Wine Shops |
