Son Prim Merlot 2016 VT Mallorca
00190416
Son Prim Merlot is arguably this Mallorcan winery's flagship red wine. A classic 100% merlot with a fruit forward nose of cherries, quince, figs and prunes plus hints of black olives and spice. Palate is intense and complemented with young tannins of moderate and pleasant grip that otherwise assure a good ageing potential
