Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve Les Beraudies Merlot Malbec

Dark forrest berries, green herbs, pepper, touch of vanilla. Dens, consentrated fruit, good tannins.

(Purchased directly from property) described by the winemaker as an experiment — and she didn’t want to sell me the bottle as she wasn’t fully happy with the result. The is at a great stage of maturity, with an interesting nose. The merlot and Malbec don’t fully come together and there is a strong sense of volatile acidity which takes away from an otherwise very good wine.
