Hogue Merlot 2000

Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesSmoky meaty sausage rubber stinky aromas. Quite rich and round on entry with plenty of extract and young but soft tannins. The flavours are more smoky, resiny and hot with more leather than fruit showing. It needs a bit of time but where's the fruit and that nose?Tasted: 01 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
