The 2013 Meruge is mostly Tinta Roriz, with 20% of a field blend added in, aged for 12 months in new French oak. Elegant and clean, this will pull in the oak with another year or so in the cellar, but it drinks well now. There isn't a lot of concentration, but it has a lively feel to go with its graceful demeanor. This should age pretty decently, but it doesn't require--and most likely won't reward--long aging.
