Castel de Fronjac Merlot Reserve (75cl)

Castel de Fronjac Merlot Reserve is a French red wine made from Merlot grapes, presented in a 750ml bottle. The Reserve designation signals a selected cuvée intended to deliver richer concentration and more structure than a basic varietal release. The aroma brings ripe plum, dark cherry and subtle earthy undertones, with light notes of vanilla, cedar or toast from oak contact. The palate delivers round dark fruit, a fleshy mid-palate with plum and blackberry flavours, and moderate tannins. The finish is medium in length, with lingering dark fruit and a smooth, mildly earthy close. Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, with a brief 15 to 20 minute decant.
