Weingut Günther Steinmetz Merlot Merlot Trocken - Im Barrique gereift -

Have to check if it was indeed the 2011. Surprisingly good, on the luscious, velvety side of merlot (not sure everyone would identify it as merlot in a blind tasting, but hey). Spicy (cinnamon), well balanced by nice acidity. Not terribly structured but pretty tasty and satisfying. Quite sure guests of all types would like this too. 87p. BTW real strong qpr at south of 10 EUR didn't expect that. Recommended.
