Airfield Estates Merlot 2022 (750ml) Tuscany The first-growth quality aromatics areThis medium to full bodied Merlot displays an abundance of dark fruit aromas. Layers of black cherry, dark cassis, sweet plum and smoked figs unite with more complex notes of dark espresso and salted toffee. On the palate, the wine shows finesse, balance, and roundness. Smooth, supple tannins frame the way for lingering secondary flavors of blackberry jam, vanilla bean, sweet cocoa, and toasted oak. Enjoy now through 2035 with optimal maturity peaking
