The 1988 Merlot exhibits a rich, saturated color, a big, flamboyant nose of black-cherries, cocoa, and spices. It is medium to full-bodied, opulent, voluptuously textured, juicy, succulent, and a joy to drink. It will last nicely for at least 5-6 years. It is time to discover the fascinating wines of the Bodega Weinert!
