Costa Lazaridi Chateau Julia Merlot, 750 ml

The cosmopolitan Merlot from the estate's vineyards shows the more robust side of its character. A deep red colour. Enchanting variety of impressions. Red berries, cherry jam, mint chocolate, ink and cedar are just some of the recognisable aromas. Fleshy, rich, almost plethoric, with abundant fruit supporting the well-integrated tannins. The theoretically high alcohol is balanced by acidity and expresses itself mainly in sweetness and volume. Long finish with notes of chocolate. It will continue to evolve for at least 15-20 years after the vintage. Merlot 100%
