Le Grand Verdus Le Petite Merlot Bordeaux 2020

From the Bordeaux Superieur appellation in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this is deep maroon in colour. An earthy, savoury style with notes of bay leaves, dry herbs, dark berries, undergrowth and plums. There is plenty of grip here and the tannins are very fine but quite abundant. A persistent finish, the palate sees some red fruit notes and mild chocolate. Enjoy now and over the next half dozen years.
