Estimate
A magnificent Merlot, with gorgeous fruit that’s ripe, rich and distinctive, with a bounty of complex flavors, ranging from enticing black cherry, currant, blackberry, spice and finishing with a smooth chocolate aftertaste.
Paloma's full-bodied 2001 offers up a gorgeous display of black currant and mocha-infused fruit that cuts a large swath across the palate. Unctously textured, with no hard edges, gorgeous aromatics, and loads of flavor.
...Sweet and creamy but not heavy; a near-confectionery, milk-chocolatey wine with a texture like liquid silk. Finishes sweet and lush, with very ripe tannins and a whiplash of dark berries and milk chocolate. Very sexy merlot.
