Tasting notes for the domaine des Tours Merlot 2006
To the eye: A deep garnet-red robe with still-vivid highlights, revealing a silky texture and a dense, almost velvety substance.
On the nose: First, aromas of wild blackberry and black cherry, followed by notes of liquorice, roasted cocoa, and a mineral, almost chalky touch reminiscent of the estate's limestone soils.
On the palate: A broad and fleshy attack, carried by a lively acidity and a saline minerality, stretching into a long and elegant finish where soft spices and melted tannins intertwine.
Serve between 16 and 18°C in a Bordeaux-style red wine glass to reveal its full complexity.
Vintage 2006
A vintage marked by a hot and dry summer, where the ripeness of the grapes was preserved by cool nights, yielding a wine that is both powerful and balanced.
- Aging potential: To be kept until 2026–2030 under optimal conditions (stable temperature, away from light).
