The opaque dark garnet/purple color of the 1991 Merlot-Oakville Estate suggests considerable intensity and richness. A big, black-cherry and chocolate-scented, lavishly oaky nose soars from the glass in an unrestrained manner. Thick and intense, with an unctuous texture and exotic richness, this lusty Merlot provides an impressive, flamboyant mouthful. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. An excellent value.
