Description
Medium dark ruby in color, the 2015 Merlot Bosche expresses ripe dark cherry, black currant, and blackberry fruit components. With great depth of aroma and flavor, there are nuances of sweet oak spice, juniper berry, black pepper, sweet vanilla and dark chocolate. The oak spice is very well integrated, not dominant but provides a substantial backbone to the complexity of the wine balancing the abundance of fruit depth. The flavor is big, voluptuous, soft and velvety, with rich, great depth of black cherry fruit. The tannins are well integrated providing a very long fruitful finish.
