The opaque purple-colored 1994 Merlot Graf de la Tour offers a big nose of cocoa, coffee, jammy black cherries, and earth. In the mouth, it is a revelation for Merlot from Friuli-Collio. Plump, deep, and full-bodied, with terrific richness, and a multilayered personality, this chewy, blockbuster Merlot can be drunk now or cellared for a decade.Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel.
