Miroglio Soli Merlot

Miroglio Soli MerlotThere's something distinctly right bank about this, with a lovely lift and purity to the fruit and alluring herbaceous aroma. Drinking so well now, with flavour of fresh and baked plums, bracken, brambles and autumn leaves, a hint of umami meat extract and warming, plush palate. As you leave it longer in the glass, it deepens beautifully, suggesting it will keep nicely for a few years. The fine tannins gently caress the palate, and it finishes long
