Tasting notes
The 2019 Le Colosse is compressed in the bottle and marked with a firm and juicy nose that opens to a bright, red-fruited frame with notions of dusty black tea. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is balanced with a fine mineral tension that drives the expression with notions of graphite and dusty red flowers. The wine continues to somersault in the mouth, revealing additional complexities and layers with time and before ending with a tight, food-friendly finish. It's absolutely delightful.

The 2019 Le Colosse smolders up from the glass with a darkly inward mix of crushed rocks and lavender complementing wild blueberries and hints of plum. This is seductively silky and refined without a hard edge in sight, with cooling acidity that motivates its sweet red and black fruits. The 2019 tapers off classically structured and long, echoing notes of black raspberry and licorice under a sweet air of minty herbs. Fans of Washington Merlot will not want to miss this.
