{"product_id":"lcbo-glenelly-glass-collection-merlot-2021","title":"LCBO - Glenelly Glass Collection Merlot 2021","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDESCRIPTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe Glass Collection Merlot boasts a deep ruby-red colour and offers a medley of dark fruit, cherry, and chocolate aromas, with hints of spicy plum. Its palate reveals concentrated richness and generous fruit, supported by well-balanced, structured tannins. \n\u003ch2\u003eREVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 89, Vinous, August 2023\n“The 2021 Merlot Glass Collection comes from southeast-facing vines that tend to have an hour's less sunlight than other parcels. It aged in 300-liter barrels (15% new) for 12 months. It has quite a powerful peppermint-tinged bouquet, considering the cool growing season. The palate is, again, quite powerful and grippy, slightly powdery in texture, with darker licorice fruit developing towards the finish. Certainly one of the better Stellenbosch Merlots that will need a couple of years in bottle.”\n\u003ch2\u003ePRESS REVIEW\u003c\/h2\u003e\nRated 89, Vinous, August 2023\n“The 2021 Merlot Glass Collection comes from southeast-facing vines that tend to have an hour's less sunlight than other parcels.
