Sixpoint Merlot Grand Crue

Thanks to Mike for sharing. Poured a cloudy amber in color with a small beige head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruits, mild fruitiness and wood. Tastes is generally sweet with caramel, and some fruitiness. Flavors of oak, vanilla, and some mild wine present. Alcohol warming in the finish.

Poured a hazy reddish brown color with a small, off white head, that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak, red wine, dried fruits, caramel, vanilla, citrus, and a bit of toffee. Taste of brown sugar, caramel, vanilla oak, dried fruits, and light winish notes, with subtle alcohol causing dryness. Thanks Mike!

Sample courtesy of weewee182. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of wine, wood, dark fruits, caramel, and some vanilla. Tastes of wood, wine, caramel, and some dark fruits.

Thanks to Blink182. Pours a lightly hazy golden amer with a small head that went away quickly. Aroma of nuts, caramel, light wine notes, dark fruits, Belgian yeast esters, lightly woody/earthy. Flavor was lightly vineous, earthy, light oak, caramel, nuts and light Belgian yeast esters. Some alcohol burn.

Rerate- Bottle from Weeare182. THis was a bit better than the cask I had at Spuyten a year ago. Aroma is a bit more lively- the carbonation is there- it seemed a bit more clean, not as dull, not as oxidized as it was then, seemed more real- and not fake as I had thought last year. - Still lots of acedic acid and turning towards a strong flemish red even though that probably isnt the intention. This is somwhat along the same lines as a de dolle oerbier reserva, although not really all that close to that kind of caliber. 12 oz gravity pour from a Pin at Spuyten Duyvil. Pours still, dirty hazy, deep reddish purple. Aroma is wine, grape juice, sugary sweet- almost artificial, oak, rotting wood, and phenolic-medicinal. Slick wierd medicinal flavor, with some oak, vanilla, lots of wine and grape tannins, more artificial sweetness- aspartame, and astringent metallic finish. Slick and thin.
