Wine Notes
Burrowing Owl Merlot 1997
Stacey's dad surprises us again with another bottle from his collection. This Burrowing Owl Merlot 1997 we found after finishing the Burrowing Owl's 2004 Pinot Noir.
This wine has a "closed" intense flavour. A short finish, but a glorious experience on the palate. Spice on the nose, good tannins but very smooth.
Stacey felt that this wine overpowered her taste buds after having a very good Pinot Noir (hey, we were having fun raiding the cellar though), and I don't disagree. Next time she suggests we would have this as an "only" red. Given that there is a very limited supply left, that will probably happen.
