One of the best merlots at the LCBO. Ripe, sweet blackberry, black cherry, dark chocolate
and earthy scents. The Torres 2005 Atrium Merlot is medium weight and quite dense, with sweetness and lively acidity to carry things along. Concentration and persistence on the finish. Now to 2010. LCBO 621755
