Chateau La Croix Merlin 1996

|
 |
Four years old and just getting ready to drink but it could perhaps take a little longer in the cellar to be at its best.
A lovely rich colour and a very full body. Good tasting too but with just a slight hint of a rough edge that might need a little more cellar time to smooth out. Quite a heavy sediment too so you need to take care how you store it prior to serving. Maria says, I prefer this to the last one we tried Wine rating 7, value +1 |
