Apothic Merlot Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
Merlot is many people’s favourite because of its plummy nature and generally easy drinking style. It is also loved for its exceptional contribution to the right bank wines of Bordeaux. It’s no wonder it suited the Apothic name then. The twist here is the addition of a little bit of the Italian variety Teroldego which adds cherry and enriches the soft tannin feel. Plum, cherry and blackberry display in ample measures whilst oak delivers vanilla and coconut.
