Montpezat 2005 Les Enclos Prestige Merlot (Vin de Pays d’Oc)

Country: France / Les Enclos Prestige
Variety: Merlot Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Montpezat / Vin de Pays d’Oc

An ambitious effort, this Pays d’Oc Merlot opens with bacon, earth and boysenberry notes that lead to a moderately intense palate. Vanilla notes wrap around flavors of Chinese tea, cedar and spice box and wind up with a fairly gripping finish. Drink now.
